Yesterday 50-60,000 people marched against austerity in London. Odd that an event like that was not reported in the newspapers or on the radio or television in this country. But Russian TV reported it. If that number of people had marched in a town in another country I expect we would have heard about it. There were two stages with lineups of people from across the movement, incl (in no particular order): Owen Jones, Chris Bough, Russell Brand, Caroline Lucas, Doncaster Care UK strikers, Ian Lawrence NAPO, Mayor Lutfur Rahman, Lindsey German, John McDonnell MP, Lee Jasper - BARAC, Matt Wrack - FBU, Diane Abbott MP, Rehana Azam - 999 Call, People’s March for NHS, Sam Fairbairn Peoples Assembly, Kate Hudson Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), Christine Blower NUT, Jasmin Stone - E15 Mothers, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Francesca Martinez, Len McCluskey Unite, Mandy Brown - Lambeth College Strike, Ritzy Cinema Workers campaign, John Hilary - War on Want, Jackie Davis - KONP, Sean McGovern - TUC disabled workers committee. And a festival: Leon Rosselson - (folk), Tony Cannam (funky jazz), Stephen Morrison-Burke (poet), The Farm (All Together Now), Logic MC, comedian Kate Smurthwaite, Sean Taylor. Guardian has a report online. theguardian/politics/2014/jun/21/protest-march-austerity-london-russell-brand-peoples-assembly
