Despite the fact that there had been no official call for strike action last Wednesday a massive 20,000 workers turned out to support the November 7 Lambeth lobby of parliament against the cuts.

Delegations included council and health workers from all over London, miners from Kent and Yorkshire, and a strong contingent of school students under the banner of the NUSS.

Lambeth council leader Ted Knight called for 40 Labour councils in major cities to follow Lambeth in refusing to implement the cuts and defy the Tories. AGAINST LAMBETH THE CUTS AGAINST THE CUTS backed as usual by the Tory press, has instructed the BBC to suppress the film and to further tighten the gag on reports from The case, has now been referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

A great week for the fund this week. We've had in £222.30, bringing the total so far to £342.50.

If we can keep up this pace we stand an excellent chance of raising the full £750 this month for the first time since we raised our target in September.
