After reading through the blurb from the keystone of this protest planned for April 2nd in London....I've noticed something about "Put People First" - specifically they are saying the exact same thing as Obama, Brown and Sarkozy! Read their manifesto here (http://www.putpeoplefirst.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ppf-policyplatform.pdf) and you'll see that this is the case.
This isnt a protest at all....its an organised Support Rally! :eek:
Dont believe me?
This is what they are saying:
These recommendations provide an integrated package
to help world leaders chart a path out of recession.
Moving towards a fairer global economy cannot happen
without addressing climate change; a transition to a
low-carbon economy cannot happen without massive
public investment in decent green jobs and public
services; a new green deal cannot be financed without
significant tax reforms; and a shift towards democratic,
transparent and accountable financial institutions is
necessary to deliver the changes required.
The starting point for change must be understanding
and acceptance. Understanding that an unfairly
regulated global economy has increased vulnerability
for the world’s poor, threatened jobs and livelihoods
globally, created financial and social instability,
undermined public service delivery, wreaked havoc
upon the biosphere and ultimately damaged the fabric
of the economy itself. Acceptance that governments
must rediscover their role in proactively delivering an
economy that is fair and just, and that lives within its
environmental means.
We call on the UK government and other countries
to seize this opportunity to start building a global
economy that puts people and the planet first. The
policies set out in this paper offer governments
the essential building blocks for undertaking this
transformation.
It is archetypal big govt/brother socialism masquerading as a protest! :eek:
