A few days after the government announced massive spending cuts, a rally was held at Congress House, central London to mobilise opposition .
The Tory chancellor, George Osborne, wants to see cuts of £81 billion, which would result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of public sector jobs.
The rally coincided with a strike by the Fire Brigade Union, who had gone out after the London Fire Brigade formally began the legal process of terminating the employment contracts of 5,600 London firefighters.
Sporting a natty hat, Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union general secretary Bob Crow was in fine form and richly deserved the standing ovation at the end of his impassioned speech.
‘No to cuts’

Europe’s experiment with the bitch Karl Marx’s aka “democratic” socialism aka the Nanny state is fucked, liked the rest of Europe. The UK along with Greece Spain & Portugal are super fucked. 60 years of freebees and handouts by the reactionary Socialist governances both Tory and Labour in the UK is coming to a crashing ass halt. Sorry folks did you think it was all free why the fuck do you think your paying L5.00 for fuckin milk L4 for a beer. Europe forgot how to breed and now imports horny Muslims to fill the gap, you get what you asked for in your relativistic secular hell hole called the “EU”. Start breeding and get off your collective lazy European asses and while you at it hang the criminals at Westminster from Blackfriars Bridge—have a good fucking day
Beer’s actually a lot cheaper in Europe than in the US, you racist loon, not that you’ve ever travelled abroad, eh?
Postscript———-Canada and the United states are not far behind you Europe, with any luck Barack Hussein Obama will be a ONE term US president. Barack another Jimmy Carter in the making. Obama never did have the brains or experience, guess why this revisionist will be a one time pres– it’s the people who will take care of Barach in 2012, he go’s the way of the pervert pelosi and suck up harry reid.
Everyone’s a rascist if they piss on your parade bitch. Ask Muslim women in burka’s, lost inheritance and honour killing how much they love their fucking mullahs and imams. Probably done more world travel that you , your not an atypical Socialist liberal RED neck.

Gotta love the way you’re basing your Europe-wide claim about beer prices on the one beer you supposedly bought in Munich some time ago.
Your milk prices are comically wrong too, but I’m not sure what your point is and, to be honest, I’ve no enthusiasm in finding out because you seem unable to make a comment without peppering it with bizarre racist insults.
May I suggest you sign up to the urban75 bulletin boards where you may find some people prepared to indulge your xenophobic ranting?
