Block the Bill demo - Sunday 9th Oct

From the flyer handed out at the Block The Bill protest yesterday:

BLOCK THE BRIDGE
BLOCK THE BILL

THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO SAVE THE NHS

THE GOVERNMENT'S HEALTH BILL WILL

  • UNDERMINE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
  • ALLOW PRIVATE COMPANIES TO PROFIT OFF YOUR HEALTHCARE NEEDS
  • FORCE CUTS TO VITAL HEALTH SERVICES
This week the govenment plans to sell-off the NHS forever. Today, thousands of poeple from across the councy have come to Westminster Bridge to stop them

End of Universal Healthcare
No Mandate
No-one voted for this bill, and the government refuses to listen; the vast majority of doctors and nurses hate it, and ordinary patients stand to suffer. Those benefiting are American-style private healthcare firms, who have spent millions lobbying the government.

The NHS is a cornerstone of our society and an institution we should defend proudly

UK Uncut is a national network of people fighting the government cuts.

Austerity economics is the policy of the rich and powerful. It cannot be stopped by asking nicely. We cannot wait until the next election. We must take to the streets now and make our voices heard.

The brilliant day can be seen in pictures here:
