Around 20 people from various groups protested outside a Vodafone shop in Wood Green Saturday lunchtime. Shoppers and passers-by generally gave them a good reception and many agreed with the connection to fighting Tory cuts that was made by the protestors.
The leaflets handed out made the connection between corporate tax-dodging and the fight against Tory cuts, particularly promoting a cuts protest which will take place outside Haringey Civic Centre (the council HQ) on the evening of the 22nd November 2010 when the council will be in full session.
This is the third weekend of protest against cuts and the Vodafone £6 billion unpaid tax bill.
Welfare cut by £7 billion. Vodafone let off £6 billion tax. We can all do the sums and we do not like the result.
