Norwich against the cuts

On 4 December I joined my first ever protest march. This was a public sector workers protest against the Government cuts, beginning and ending in Chapelfield Gardens in Norwich. On a bitterly cold day several hundred people from Norwich and elsewhere in the east of England gathered for a short march in Norwich city centre after which several speakers addressed the rally, including trade union and local politicians. Former Norwich MP Ian Gibson was there, and leader of the Norwich Greens, Adrian Ramsey.

I took some photographs before, during and after the march, but the main aim was to take part. Here are a few pictures to give the flavour of the day.
