It looks like the cut overall for Hackney Council is 14.9% which is around £44m for 2011/12. And they have to find another £17m in 2012/13. They have to cut around £80m over four years. 345 council staff have opted for voluntary redundancy as of last Monday. The assessment of that is due in mid-January. There will be compulsory redundancies.

A New Philanthropy Capital report has made it clear that philanthropy and charities cannot fill the estimated £5 billion, for voluntary and community organisations which will result from the 30 per cent cuts to local authority funding.

The vote to increase fees for university students up to £9000 will turn Higher Education into a market. Take a look and see if you can sign this statement opposing the marketisation of education.
This fight is not just about education, it is the latest and sharpest manifestation of the remorseless process of commercial...isation and marketisation of our lives. We need a vision of something different based on mutuality
