CAMPAIGNERS turned out in their hundreds in Manchester on Saturday to demand “Keep Our NHS Public,” writes Peter Lazenby.
They rallied outside Manchester Royal Infirmary to protest against health service privatisation.
The campaigners put padlocks on the hospital’s gates, symbolically “locking out” privatisation.
Groups involved included Manchester People’s Assembly Against Austerity, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament promoting the message “NHS Not Trident,” and Rochdale and Littleborough Peace Group.
The latter’s spokesman Philip Gilligan said one cut did need to be made.
“We need to cut the vast amounts of money being spent on the Trident nuclear weapons system and to bring an end to the madness of squandering even more money on an even more dangerous and unnecessary nuclear weapons of mass destruction,” he said.
