The Need For Direct Action And Mass Involvement.


      John Cooper, friend, comrade, life long activist, campaigner, speaks at the Maryhill Anti Cuts Conference, talks about early struggles in Castlemilk, which was at one time the largest housing scheme in Europe, which had absolutely no facilities, just houses and the only way to get a pint was join the Labour Party - Claimants Unions - School Closures.
Video first appeared on City Strolls.


Maryhill Anti Cuts Conference

      A group of residents in North west Glasgow have got together to fight the cuts and defend services locally. 

     The first event was an anti cuts conference which attracted 30 folks. There were talks from activists from many different spheres, from those locally who'd occupied a primary school a few years back, to NHS campaigners, to a speaker from the ongoing anti cuts student occupation at Glasgow University. Most importantly we had many small table discussions. 
      We are now having regular organising meetings and have begun mapping the area to get a clear picture of how the cuts will affect our local area and what we can do both to defend local services, but also fight all the cuts to public services and the welfare state.
