TORIES AT SUNNY TROON.


Direct Action Against Youth Unemployment at Tory Party Conference


      It wasn’t just the sun that was putting the heat on the Tories at their Scottish conference in Troon on 24 March. Over 1000 people marched on their pathetically small conference to protest at rising levels of youth unemployment in Scotland. The Polis were out in force to protect the Tory scum from their electorate of all ages. The noisy and high spirited march ended with the predictable opportunity to listen to speeches from career officials such as STUC President Mike Kirby who repeat as much rhetoric as Cameron and Clegg.


       One group of young people from Glasgow Coalition of Resistance (COR) left the rally and showed the Tories their feelings by taking their protest as close to the barricaded conference venue as they could. The Polis reacted heavy handedly by “kettling” them. All were searched and videoed before being returned straight to their coach and escorted by three Polis vans halfway back to Glasgow.


              ann arky applauds direct action such as this and is heartened to see so many young people attending this march and being involved. This is the way to challenge the Tory cuts, not by speeches from trade union officials who continually sell us out to the bosses. The Tories and Labour need to know that we won’t accept the crumbs, nor the loaf. We can take over and run the bakery and decide what bread to make. And that’s what the rich are really scared of.
