Ahem, anyhoo. As far as the TUC demo in Hyde Park is concerned. Yes I'll be there too. It would be interesting to know how many other fellow might be likely to go?

The TUC wants to forge a broad "coalition" of charities and other interest groups to form a united front against these cuts. Right now, bar pressuring Lib-Dem MP's in iffy seats, that seems the most pragmatic way forward to me.
