The Coalition of Resistance is planning a national speaking tour to appeal to all those who want to see the back of this government.
It seems the government couldn’t be happier right now. There’s been a slow down in the pensions dispute and Miliband / Balls have declared that they wont reverse any spending cut or oppose a public sector pay freeze (see article by Lindsey German here) which has led to a hike in the polls for the Tories.
However the massive anger from millions of people we saw last year has not gone away! The 500,000 that demonstrated on March 26th or the million plus that went on strike in November still want to see the back of this government.
The unions who rejected the governments offer over pensions are set to meet to discuss further action. Our job is to get the movement back on the streets.
This is why Coalition of Resistance is planning a national speaking tour, to discuss these issues and to draw new layers of activists into the movement.
The tour will run through February – March. We are currently working with a number of anti-cuts groups and Trades Councils to get more of these meetings set up across the country.

sorry you guys cant make it this far east in norwich or indeed the far east which is if you did not know yarmouth.
i encourage you to keep on asking awkward questions.
due to my age,notoriety and general health i have rejoined the labour party which hasnt been all bad- a leap of faith for sure but better the devil you know and the choice is limited by these facors.
many of you have rejected the labour party so it is important labour party spokespeople get in both barrels for their passive and active support of the Marketisation of public services and help it change to something positive or otherwise watch it suffer a very slow and agonising death.let the labour party know why they are an irrelevance in your politics and see if you can be persuaded otherwise-it used to be called democracy before the working class were ethnically cleansed from the labour party.
keep asking awkward questions especially about the labour party i know and love which cant keep shooting its feet off and losing sight of what its there for
