Last week George Osborne (real name Gideon, estimated worth £4m) announced the details of the "Comprehensive Spending Review," consigning almost 500,000 people to unemployment while slashing housing benefit and attacking welfare. Locally, the growing movement has continued to protest against the imposition of austerity, targeting both the city and county councils as well as local bailiffs.
