The Peoples Charter is hoping to arrange a National Tour, from early October to the end of November. We will ensure that a national Charter Commission member will be available to speak at your local Charter meeting. I you have a preference for a particular speaker then please specify.
Without any mandate the politicians who lead Britain have launched a huge change for the worse in millions of people’s lives. They have joined a race with other EU regimes to use the banking crisis as an excuse for breaking down the welfare state.
Banking losses cost Britain’s taxpayers £2,000 Billion. There are only two ways available to deal with a system-shaking catastrophe like this. The first way is the one that was chosen (but not openly debated in the General Election) by all three mainstream parties. It is to shift away a vast amount of money and social wealth from the majority of the population. The second is to reorganise your economy in the interests of all. There are obvious signs of the meaning of the first policy in examples like the tiny bank levy of £2 billion in the budget when even the Bank of England (25 June) says if last year’s bank bonuses were stopped it would make £10 billion instantly available. At the same time millions of workers are to be forced to go into years of pay cuts.
The commission of the peoples’ charter for change met at the end of May and issued a statement to those supporting the charter movement and to all who seek an alternative to austerity wages, pensions, and services. The commission will issue statements regularly - showing that there is an alternative to cuts – as the public’s call for fairness and against a banker’s Britain gets louder.
The Peoples Charter Commission was set up to build a mass movement against Bankers’ cuts and for a peoples’ Britain. Non-sectarian Charter groups are now springing up around the country.
