Video: Stroud Against the Cuts March today

Well this is a bit of a mish mash but here is a video of todays' march against the cuts. My camera ran out of memory so I missed the speeches towards the end but it has some of the highlights of the day. Double click on movie to open in Youtube.


See some of the Green Party alternatives to the cuts here. One key point that Martin Whiteside made at the march was that we can tackle both the environmental problems as well as the social ones with an approach like the Green New Deal. In fact Martin was alone in the speeches today in tying together the importance of tackling climate change with the cuts.

Great footage. Proud to be Stroud! Stroud has long been a leader in green ideology, It's time the Stroud people abandon the Con-Dem, Labour triage, which are indistinct and vote for real change! Great Green Councilors but now is time to vote Green and aim for Westminster!

91 views already - great as I could not get to the march - can't understand Neil saying cuts are not significant - he sounds far away from knowing what it is like to live in fuel poverty, low income, VAt rises, services cut.....
