Do you support the new Jarrow March for jobs?

See - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/campaigners-recreate-jarr...

The march is a re-enactment of the 1936 Jarrow Crusade - demanding decent jobs for young people, a reinstatement of Educational Maintenance Allowance and free education from nursery to university. It is currently in Coventry - its route will take it through Rugby, Daventry, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Luton and London, finishing on the 5th November.

Their blog can be read here - www.jarrowmarch11.com

I think it is vital that young people stand up for a decent future, so that is why I (though a bit longer in the tooth than most of the marchers) joined in from Nottingham to Nuneaton and will be joining again from Daventry to Milton Keynes.

Anyone else fancy showing their support by turning up to one of their protests, buying a T-shirt or making a donation on the blog?

    Well done, Andrew and all involved.

    Thatcherism has dragged this country back to the 1930s, no matter which of the two and a fart corrupt, hired Thatcherite parties is in power.

    That's why we need regime change - not a change of capitalist party, but the end of this rotten epoch and a people's government, not a (very, very rich) people's government.

    Get the message across to everyone!

    It is disgusting that times haven't changed in 75 years - people want to work, there are no jobs!!

    Yes my family and I supported this group of young people last weekend during the demo's in Nottingham.

    Good luck to them all.
