The photo shows how we were plotting the downfall of the government over last orders in my local, The Eagle, last week, complete with his and hers' micro brewery beers.
Whether you can come to the 16 April demo or not then do try and get along to these other two Manchester PA (People's Assembly) events in April:
Tuesday 12 April, 7 pm Central Methodist Hall, Oldham St, M1. The People's Question Time. Message your questions on education, academies, teachers striking, NHS issues, junior doctors - we have a great panel.
Soup Kitchen on Thursday 28 April (7-10pm) for a fundraiser gig with Manchester poets and musicians Gerry Potter, Gareth Evans, Novustory and The Tapestry. Compered by people's poet Steph Pike. Tickets Details here.
I'll be at all three but before then I am off with work to Milan for the International Radio Festival- have never been to the city or the festival before and am looking forward to it. Blog posts here resume next Monday but you can follow me in Milan on Instagram ;-)

ReplyDeleteSounds like a public sector professionals assembly rather than a peoples one.
That's the UK left for you, almost completely out of touch with the working class.
I think u r the one out of touch Pete
DeleteIs the People's Assembly well attended by carers, factory hands, shop assistants, fast food staff, the unemployed and other people from the less affluent sections of society?
DeleteOr is it a normal meeting of the left in the UK - social workers, school teachers, doctors, council 'officers', lecturers, paid professionals from the charity industry and students?
It is attended by a wide mix of society, from the less affluent and the ok off Pete. Come along to this evening's "Question Time" meeting Tues 12 April, 7pm, Methodist Hall, Oldham St M1, and see for yourself.
DeletePeter, still haven't bought the farm, so to speak? Such a shame.
ReplyDeletethx William
