Didn't u get the message last time Tories? #TakeBackMcr @PplsAssemblyMcr


Yesterday in nuclear-free Manchester the out of touch Osbourne and his gun-running pal Cuts Crazy Cameron took President Xi Jinping to a sumptuous luncheon in Manchester’s gorgeously Gothic Town Hall. While they enjoyed yet another lavish feast others in the UK went hungry. Nearly 1,100,000 people had to access foodbanks in 2014-15. It was 40,000 when the Tories were not in power in 2008-9, so you can see what Tory policy has done over the past few years. 

While some right-wing Chinese (see yesterday’s blog post) lined the streets and brought red flags and dragon heads, many of their compatriots back in China continue to suffer appalling human rights violations. Something that is not new to the UK Government either.

A persecuted Falun Gong group did manage to get their banner and protest in the heart of things but a Free Tibet group who tried to set up in Albert Square to show a different side to the stooges were pushed aside by the police. They joined us for a while (the People’s Assembly coalition) on the far side of Albert Square. A selection of photos from the lunchtime demo is shown above.

  1. Colourful protest shots. The British government might want to heed what happened here this week to an ultra secretive vindictive Tory government.
