| Day X, Wednesday 9 March, will be the day that we bring everyone together to defend our NHS. Spread the word and build the demo as widely as possible. Come in uniform, bring workmates, family and friends. Huge and devestating cuts are being announced at a rapid pace now. The NHS faces over 120,000 job cuts nationally, and a historic attack in the form of the Health Bill. It will allow private companies will swoop in and run our health service on the basis of profit. Meanwhile, the bankers continue to award themselves obscene bonuses. And the rich are left to evade their tax. But there is an alternative. Resistance is starting to grow. In the last few weeks, we have seen the first strike in the NHS against the cuts which has set an example of how to fight. Over 300 marched at the Homerton Hospital, bringing the community and health workers together, and in less than a week’s notice, around 300 health workers and NHS users protested outside the Royal London, and blocked Whitechapel road at the height of rush hour traffic. Day X will send the message loud and clear to the bankers and to the Con-Dem government: ● Hands off our NHS, no job cuts, no cuts to services ● Make the bankers pay for the crisis they caused |
