The ten public assets George Osborne plans to sell.
I've never enjoyed handing out leaflets as much as I did at the People's Assembly march on Saturday, where we launched our new campaign against George Osborne's plans to sell off £23 billion of public assets. We propped up ten giant “Top Trumps” cards highlighting some of these public assets – Ordnance Survey, the Royal Mint, the Met Office and more – against the outside of HM Treasury, and the fun began.
It was a busy day in London, as always. People were marching against austerity, chatting to friends, seeing the sights at Westminster, or just rushing from place to place. Most people rushed on past the first person who offered them our leaflet.
