8/3: Donny Gluckstein: Revolt Against Austerity in the UK


750,000 Public Sector workers struck across Britain on June 30th against austerity and cuts imposed by the ruling Conservative Party. In December over 50,000 students demonstrated in London against increased education fees and stormed the ‘Tory’ Party headquarters. Don’t miss this chance to discuss the growing fightback against austerity with one of Britain’s leading Socialists!
