Across Europe there was lobbies and protests against cuts. I missed a Lobby this lunchtime outside Manchester City hall, since I got the timings wrong.
Local UNISON member Grant Higgerson (carrying placard) had been at the lobby. Since he had taken the whole afternoon off to attend the rally he had decided to spend the rest of the time reminding Labour Party delegates and visitors about the importance of saving public pension schemes. Grant is supported here by another trade unionist - from the NUJ!
