SAY GOODBYE TO OUR HUMAN AND WORKERS’ RIGHTS
Thousands head to Downing Street to protest against ruthless plans laid out in Queen’s Speech

THE Conservatives’ rabid agenda against the poor will be announced today during the Queen’s Speech, set to include much-dreaded attacks on workers’ and human rights. David Cameron’s new government will officially take power as it outlines new restrictions on industrial action and abolishing the Human Rights Act.

Speaking before the state opening of Parliament the Prime Minister said: “We have a mandate from the British people, a clear manifesto and the instruction to deliver. “And we will not waste a single moment in getting on with the task.”

But Mr Cameron’s “clear vision for what our country can be” will not take place without resistance, as thousands of campaigners, politicians and celebrities are set to protest throughout the day against Tory plans. Over 7,000 people were expected to attend the Fight Austerity, Fight the Tories demonstration originally called by the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts (NCAFC).
