Preparations in Manchester this morning for Friday's visit to Manchester by David Cameron and the Chinese head of state, for lunch at the Town Hall and I dread to think what else. I spoke to some of the guys setting up the barriers who inform me that us protesters will be pushed to one side as far out of sight as possible and that armed police will be on the streets again.
Manchester People's Assembly and other groups will be protesting against David Cameron's
return to Manchester and against the vicious cuts he is making to our public services.
Manchester People's Assembly event: "...This time he will be hosting a dinner with the Chinese president at Manchester Town Hall. Join us and other groups to voice concerns about the human rights abuses going unchallenged by David Cameron and the continuing attack on all sections of society. Junior doctors, unions, disabled people, the low and middle waged plus many others. #TakeBackMcr
Bring your lollipops, banners and whatever good chants you have. Meet us at lunch time in Albert Square."
Media attention would help- even though Cameron doesn't care, the sight of a good many protesters on television can give him second thought.
