Defending Public Services - Making it public
This Saturday I'll be taking part in a very important conference in Manchester. Making it Public aims to cut through the consensus about cutting public services which has become the norm amongst the three main parties.
Never mind that ordinary people didn't create the mess, while the bankers who did are still lining their pockets: never mind that cutting public expenditure could push us back into an even deeper recession, the mantra of the neo-Liberals who write the economic policies of Cameron, Brown and Clegg is cut, cut and cut again.
Making it Public will bring together economists, trade unionists and community activists to discuss an alternative - and to champion our vital public services. I hope the see you there.
Saturday 27th February, 11.00am - 4.30pm, Friends Meeting House, Mount Street, Manchester
