[OccupySheffield] Come and join our Great British Street party at Nick's!!!

[David Kirkham]

UKUncut's Great British Street Party at Nick Clegg's place.
UKUncut pledge to bring our fight against cruel and cowardly austerity to Nick Clegg; we'll be partying at Nick's place in Sheffield; his constituency office.  Why? Because the courageous leaders of our past knew austerity doesn't work; let's take a journey back to 1948... 1948: a great year for our country.   A year which gave rise to the pinnacles of achievement in post-war Britain; our National Health Service 1 , our welfare state 2 and the public sector lifeblood of our country 3.   A great year, when courageous politicians and leaders 4 led the demoralised people of Britain out of austerity, into an age of optimism and hope for the future 5 refusing to let their people suffer for a global disaster they did not cause; World War 2. Fast forward to 2012: a bleak year 6.  One which has seen the biggest assault on the pinnacles of post-war achievement in our country, the privatisation of our NHS 7, the dismantling of our welfare state 8, the leaching of our public sector lifeblood 9.  A year of pessimism, confusion and disillusionment, which lies squarely at the door of cowardly politicians.   A year when Nick Clegg is taking the demoralised people of our country INTO austerity 10 determined to make us suffer for a global disaster we did not cause; our social11 and economic crises 12.  On 26 May, UKUncut will celebrate our public services, our rights to wellbeing, good health and security, our welfare state.  We will raise a toast to our new future, one that isn't dictated to us by leaders abusing their power by simply serving a minority privileged by huge wealth 13,  who have no care for the majority they are empowered to serve and protect. We don't break our promises 14 Nick ;we're going to bring our message home 15  to you...
