Tens of thousands join anti-cuts demo

Tens of thousands, carrying hundreds of union banners, joined the anti-cuts march in London on 21 June called by the People's Assembly.

Workers' Liberty was well-represented on the march and we sold about 200 copies of Solidarity.

At the end-of-march rally, people cheered when Unite union leader Len McCluskey said that the fight back must be ready for all tactics, "including a general strike"; but the cheering faltered when he added: "when that becomes necessary".

No one expects a general strike immediately. But if we can win a clear policy in the unions for a definite plan of action to follow the big 10 July strike over the public sector pay freeze, then we really can push the Tories back.
