It is nice to see people uniting and trying to do something, but going to the town hall is like preaching to the choir, this needs to be taken to the people who cut the councils budget (the tory government) not the council itself.
It's like complaining to a chef that his boss doesn't order enough food to cook....

Anyone else out there old-fashioned enough to remember the saying "Cut your coat according to your cloth"?
Not enough cloth to go around any more... Wonder how that happened...

Someone lost the scissors! I can see a strike looming, in the not too distant future. Think of the money the council will save in a day!!!

My job is one of the 400 to be lost. We have been told by Unison that a meeting is taking place at Wallasey town hall on Thursday 20TH December at 5.15pm!

Can you say what job that is, Donno? (unless you're a councillor of course, in which case, LOL!!)

As we live in one of the worlds richest countries there's more than enough cloth to go round, it just depends on how it's cut.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-20768357About 150 people protested outside a Wirral council meeting over plans to cut the budget by £39m next year.
Most were council employees who could face redundancy if the cuts go ahead.

This is a disgrace whats happening to people all over the country. Its about time this so called govt pulled there fingers out of there arses and collected the unpaid taxes from these major companies, the unpaid taxes alone would wipe out the countries deficit. Same as always though take from the poor to feed the rich

Did any wiki people attend? Did you manage to make it into the Public Gallery? Many people did attend, unfortunately the weather was a barrier to lots. We were herded into an upstairs room and only 50 were allowed into the gallery. The lead petitioner made a brilliant speech and we're now discussing what to do next. There's another rally at the Town Hall on Thursday at 4.30pm. Thanks for your interest and thanks to those who attended. Hope to see you Thursday. Bennie

I attended Bennie, with a few others. I wondered whether they herded us inside as we were getting attention from passer bys? Ross was BRILLIANT!!
