A very big turnout today with people protesting at Jeremy Hunt’s plans to close Lewisham Hospital’s new A&E department and intensive care, maternity and children’s services. Career git Hunt will make a decision on the closures at the beginning of February.

The march went from Lewisham roundabout to Mountsfield Park. There were a lot of people talking today about upping the ante with occupations and so on.

I upload this video to give you an idea of scale. There were thousands of people there (I’ve heard 15,000 – it was definitely up there). There were thousands of people at the 24 November campaign march as well. There’s been very little said about either in the mainstream press. The growing resistance to this government – and to austerity generally, no matter who is peddling it – continues to be airbrushed from the picture, but that can’t and won’t last forever.
