The bill has now gone through all stages in the House of Commons, and will now go to the House of Lords for consideration. In other words, it’s nearly there (

Screw Troika, The People Rules (London) March 2nd @ 3PM Belgrave Square, London

All this is the troika: an unelected government that decides on our present conditioning our future. The troika condemns dreams to death, the future to fear, life to survival. Its aims are clear: to increase our debt, impoverishing the majority and enriching a minority, to annihilate the economy, to reduce wages and rights, to destroy the social state and Portuguese sovereignty. The success of its objectives depends on our misery. If the destruction of the welfare state ensures the troika's debt financing and therefore their profits, with the destruction of the economy ensures a continuously dependent and indebted country.
To this wave that destroys everything we oppose the tidal wave of our indignation and on March 2nd @ 3PM BELGRAVE SQUARE, LONDON SW1X 8PP we will fill the streets again. We demand the resignation of the government and that the people to be called to decide their lives. Read more >>
