Liverpool city councilors today formerly met at Liverpool’s Town Hall to discuss a number of agendas including the proposed public sector cuts which are about to upshot the whole of Britain next year.
On the day students took to the streets of London protesting against the rise in University tuition fees. Protestors and many parties gathered outside the Town Hall including The United Socialist party, The National Shop Stewards Network, councilors and union members.
The proposed cuts could see the loss of thousands of jobs and many under threat within the public sector service of the city, resulting in the ever increasing unemployment rate to rocket further.
Councilor Steve Radford added: “David Cameron and George Osbourne make out where all in this together when were not at all, all is a lie. They bailed out a bank using billions of pounds causing a deficit to occur. This bail out could have been used to bail out the deficit three times over and we want Liverpool Council to be resistant of the cuts.”
The crisis of the deficit will have a catastrophic effect on the average family as the introduction to voluntary labor of thirty hours per week for members of the public will need to be completed in order for families to get their benefits in order to survive.
Protestors chanted: “The Government is accused of trying to maximize their profits by making us slaves.”
Councilor Steve Radford also added: “We need to fight every inch of the way and fight against every pound taken away from us.”
With schools and education at risk the city is inevitably being “plunged into poverty” with the ever increasing unemployment rate the people of Liverpool are about to hit a “serious financial situation” added councilor Joe Anderson.
“The city is in desperate need of leadership to get through this difficult time.”
“When Liverpool voted Labour to be elected we got Tory and everything is going to be Tory owned and we want to say no to the apposed cuts and fight against them!”
Councilor Joe Anderson
