The Rally Against Debt

[eFestivals]

In March, around 500,000 people marched in London to say that they felt there was an economic alternative to the deep and immediate cuts that the govt is implementing to reduce public spending.

On Saturday, there was The Rally Against Debt. Just 350 people turned up.

(PS: don't be fooled into thinking that the 'Taxpayers Alliance' has much to do with taxpayers. It's all the usual right-wing nutters who think there shouldn't be much in the way of taxes or state spending at all)

not that I knew this was happening but do people generally march in support of government policy? seems a waste of time to me...

Lol @ 350 of them turning up. You'd get more people turning up for a Gary Glitter concert!

"The organisation's debt clock, mounted on a lorry, was driven past the site of the protest several times, greeted by cheers"

Well with so few of them there it had to drive past several times otherwise, they'd have hired a truck and, it'd have been been and gone in a few seconds.

the 350 probably have more money than the 500,000 combined
