SSP Campsie in Kirkintilloch today

Campsie Branch were out in force in Kirkintilloch today, talking to people about the proposed cuts all of the main political parties have decided to mete out on the working class. Our leaflet advertising a meeting about the cuts can be seen HERE

The people of Scotland are being forced to pay the gambling debts of the bankers. Politicians from all of the main parties are supporting this. The Scottish Socialist Party are calling on the Government to, amongst other ways,

• raise the money through taxing the rich
• Ring-fence services – the Government has already started to close schools/ cut schools budgets/ close community centres/ reduce provision in our Health Service
• close the tax loopholes that means the very rich do not pay
• Scrap the useless cold war nuclear weapon systems at Faslane – the proposed replacement of these has been budgeted at around £100 billion
• Bring home our troops from the costly and unwinnable Afghanistan war
• Save our kid's school bus runs - 1200 more children will have to pay for school buses because of the boundary changes
• For more details on what we propose, go to www.scottishsocialistparty.org

Teacher, Neil Scott, explains how the cuts are already effecting children's education.

Linda and Pamela leaflet Harestanes, Kirkintilloch.

The petition calling on the Government not to make us pay for the millionaires crisis in cuts in services and taxing the working class, was extremely popular.

NO to Cuts! We won't pay the bankers bonuses!

PEOPLE NOT PROFIT!

Bring Our Troops Home from Afghanistan!

PRESS RELEASE FROM CAMPSIE BRANCH SCOTTISH SOCIALIST PARTY

Public Meetings in Lennoxtown and Kirkintilloch

The Campsie Branch of the Scottish Socialist Party is holding two public meetings to highlight the futility of the war in Afghanistan and in opposition to the local and national cuts planned by all the major political parties.

The first meeting will be in Campsie Memorial Lesser Hall in Lennoxtown on Wednesday, 31 March at 7.30. Speakers will include Colin Fox (spokesperson for the Scottish Socialist Party and a former MSP), a member of the Afghan community in Scotland and local Party members. This will be followed by a further meeting in the Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre at 7.30 on 21 April. The SSP believes that neither the truth about our economic crisis nor the real reason for the conflict in Afghanistan is being told and the meetings will encourage discussion on these crucial issues.

Colin Fox said, “After 8 years of occupying Afghanistan, 50,000 civilian and 270 British deaths, it is time to support our troops and bring them home. Our politicians at Westminster ignore the polls showing 70% of Britons want our soldiers brought back home and have themselves shown, just as they did whilst they were fiddling their expenses, that they are completely out of touch with public opinion in this country.”
