Anti-cuts Consensus in Fife

That the Parliament looks forward to the Fife Anti-Cuts Gala, which is to be held on 3 October 2015 in Dunfermline; understands that the event is a non-politically aligned event, supported by the STUC and the People’s Assembly Against Austerity Scotland, aimed at everyone opposed to the ongoing cuts ideology and the poverty that it is creating; understands that the event is coordinated to tie in with the TUC and People’s Assembly Against Austerity mass march and rally at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester; condemns the UK Government’s austerity agenda, including cuts to tax credits, which it believes will leave millions of families on low pay even worse off over the next few years; condemns also what it sees as the UK Government's draconian Trade Union Bill, which represents the biggest attack on worker’s rights across the UK for 30 years, undermining basic rights, including the right to strike and protest; welcomes what it considers the organisers' positive and non-partisan approach; notes that, on the day, demonstrators from across Scotland are to march down Dunfermline High Street before assembling for a rally at the Glen Pavilion in Pittencrief Park; understands that there will also be a food donation point to help support local foodbanks and fun and games for children attending, and wishes all the organisers and marchers the best of luck.
