Somewhere in this posting, you ask us to join the 30th November march in support of public sector workers. It has been reported for years that pensions for public sector workers are far, far better than those for the private sector.
If this is the case – and I have no idea of the truth of the matter, truth these days being as rare as hens’ teeth – they are striking to maintain their advantage over the rest of the country’s workers. If so, I am against the purposes of the march and shall not join it.
It is also clear that the march will have a very deleterious effect on the nation’s productivity, in the hardest of hard times. The unions say that 1/2 billion pounds the strike will lose for the nation is a gross exaggeration. If so, what is the truth? Like the one-day holiday for the royal wedding, it must be considerable and will delay our getting out of the debt the banks and government have landed us in.
A great deal of objective truth, from unbiased and independent sources, on matters such as these, would be a great help.

thank you for organising the event; i came both days and left inspired and ready to get more involved…i think an annual 6 Billion Ways would be awesome, and regular meets would be really useful, so that a regular structure of activity can be clearly planned on a larger scale…

Hi, I thought the Saturday event was great…even with a bad hangover. However, I came on my own and felt it would have been nice to have had the opportunity to get to meet others with similar campaigning interests, so yes, I’d be up for regular meet ups.

Good round-up of the discussion on Sunday. I feel we also need a physical home — in London and probably in other cities/towns too — somewhere people can revolve around regularly, a hub for this movement. Any ideas?
