People's March for the NHS

This week the People's March for the NHS were passing through the area, on their way to what will be a fantastic reception, demonstration and rally in London.

A core of the group, the '300-milers', are doing the whole journey, and having done only one day's section this comrade is in awe of their determination, sacrifice and pain thresholds. This campaign deserves your full support as it attempts to raise awareness everywhere it goes as to the extent to which the Tories are trying to butcher the NHS.

There was huge support from the public for the march, with honks of support from drivers all the way along the route, and as we passed through populated areas many people would stand at their doors or along the streets to cheer, applaud or just say 'thank you' to the marchers.

Here are a couple of photos from the day we joined, Wednesday's Chesterfield to Mansfield section. Today (Friday) they'll already be leaving Notthingham and heading for Loughborough!
