"Mr President, David Cameron described today’s massive public sector strike as a damp squib. Is it any wonder that this Prime Minister of a cabinet of millionaires that rules for the millionaires seeks to undermine this massive display of strength by working people – two million people on strike across Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England – and a movement that demonstrates the power to defeat the government’s austerity policies?
I visited picket lines across Belfast today and attended the mass rally of 10 000 people. The message from the strikers was very, very clear. Enough is enough. They will not pay more and work longer for reduced pensions. They will not accept further attacks on wages, further attacks on conditions and the further cutbacks in our public services that are driven by the government and the Assembly.
The outstanding socialist, James Connolly, proclaimed ‘The great only appear great because we are on our knees. Let us arise’. Today, the working class has begun to stand up and the potential power is very clear. This has to be the start of building a movement that can win. That means naming a date for further public sector strike action and striving to spread action to the private sector."@en1
