The Coalition of Resistance rally to see off the trains with those taking part in the Brussels demo as part of the European Day of Action against cuts is at St Pancras Eurostar terminal at 7.30am on Wednesday. Press will be coming and there will also be leaflets in major European languages plus banners etc. Trade unions from 30 countries, together with pensioner groups and others from civil society will march in Brussels. I will be along to support those travelling on the two Eurostar trains to Brussels, which includes one train booked by the National Pensioners Convention and the second by the RMT. This coincides with the Spanish general strike and actions across the continent.The crisis and austerity programme being introduced across Europe is causing enormous hardship to the poor, the unwaged and the vulnerable. It is vital that we as Europeans and as socialists act together against this cancer of our time. As the Green Left representative on the steering committe of the Coalition of Resistance I send my full support to those marching in Brussels and in other European capitals on the day. There will also be a a TUC rally at Congress House in London from 2pm to 5pm.
I hope that the British trade union movement will seize the cudgels and mobilise against the pauperisation of millions and the ideological crusade against the poor and the vulnerable. There is no time to lose.
