Glasgow: Power to the People
Marching on the glass tower that houses energy giant Scottish Power, the people of Glasgow made it clear that the working class will not put up with criminal price hikes and fuel poverty any longer, reports STEPHANIE MARTIN

ON FRIDAY August 12, Glasgow’s Power to the People launched its campaign against fuel poverty with a mass protest outside the headquarters of Scottish Power in the city centre.

Power to the People have set out three clear demands: freeze prices not people, lose the late fees, and scrap prepayment meters.
