THE streets of Britain will echo the Greek cry of Oxi! tomorrow as people up and down the country protest against Chancellor George Osborne’s post-election austerity Budget.

Organisers behind the People’s Assembly Against Austerity demonstration last month revealed that die-ins and marches would take place in over 40 locations. In London, hundreds are expected to lie down in front of Parliament in honour of those who have lost their lives due to cuts to benefits and services. 

“Osborne is set to announce a further £12 billion in cuts to welfare, hitting the poorest in society hardest,” said People’s Assembly national secretary Sam Fairbairn. “It’s a disgrace that the government continues to hide the figures of the number of people who have died as a result of their austerity measures.”
