Signs of the times, demo today


The government may think the recession is over and the economy is picking up but when you see the state of the main street in plush and seemingly ever-affluent Prestbury village, with all of these shops, restaurants, and other  businesses up for sale, I am not so sure.

 The Tory Conference starts in Manchester today- a city that historically hasn't much love for them, as today's national demonstration to save the NHS and fight against the Tory government's cuts will show...

Prestbury is full of lovely timber framed curiosities. One of its oldest buildings is the Priest’s House, a timber-framed black and white building dating back to about 1448. I must track it down for Mancunian Wave one day.

 P.S 50,000 attended the demo: a write up too on the ignorance of some mainstream media.

    We must all stand up to this international theft of Commonwealth into rapacious claws!

    Same thing here in Canada. There's so many well educated young adults that can't find work. Those that do end up working for low wages a places like McDonalds and Wal-Mart.

    I have a few issues with Mr Cameron. But it's childish to think the Conservatives don't want prosperity for people, just like every other political party (apart from, possibly, fringe idiots like the BNP).
