Congregating from 1pm on College Green Public outrage over the Cost of Living Crisis is growing fast and our response is gaining momentum. Right now is the time for us all to come together in unity and build our collective resistance. Now is the time to get out onto the streets to send a clear message to the government that we refuse to pay for their crisis. The People's Assembly Against Austerity is organising demonstrations up and down the country against the cost of living hikes and the government. WE CAN'T PAY FOR THIS CRISIS - - OFGEM have announced a 54% rise in household energy bills. - This will come into effect in April, at the same time that National Insurance goes up. - RPI inflation is already 7.5%. - Inflation and rising prices are squeezing wages with barely a pay rise in sight. - MPs' pay will be going up £2000 and Shell has just announced highest profits in eight years while nearly everyone else faces rapidly declining living standards. The deepest cost of living crisis since 1990! Soaring inflation, stagnant wages, rising interest rates, falling living standards, fuel and energy crisis.
