Protestors blocked trafffic in sit down protests along the route to the Scottish Parliament and chanted against workfare and cuts reports Jonathon Shafi.
Hundreds of students, campaigners and trade unionists joined the Not Another Lost Generation demonstration in Edinburgh. The demonstration called by Scottish Students Against Cuts saw students from Glasgow, Strathclyde, UWS, Dundee, St Andrews and Aberdeen join Edinburgh uni and colleges in the capital.
The protest blocked trafffic in sit down protests along the route to the Scottish Parliament and chanted against workfare and cuts. Shouts of ‘not another lost generation’ and ‘students and workers unite and fight’ rang through Edinburghs main streets gaining support from passers by.
There were some brilliant speeches from student presidents, trade union representatives and various campaigns. All of them were united in saying that the resistance needs to escalate.
Rejecting the Consensus for Cuts I Reject as Well the Consensus for
Parliament Politicans and Political Parties.
I Prefer Common Sense Land to this Present Cloud Cuckoo Land
It is Far Better that Money is Spent to Help the Poor and Vulnerable
than be Wasted upon the Filthy Politicians Dens of the Parliaments
of Westminster and Edinburgh
Cut the Number of Politicians Down to Zero through the Abolition of
Parliament which Serves Them and their Poxy Political Parties than
Cuts in Public Services and Welfare
Cut the Billions Wasted on War Mongering in Afghanistan and upon
Nuclear Weapons and No UK Military Invasion or Collusion with any
Military Invasion of Iran and No to Resource Plundering of Iran
The Services that could of been Funded had it Not been for the
Diabolical Invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the Appalling Occupation
Afterwards
