Save our NHS March at the Tory Party Conference in Manchester

Members of North Somerset UNISON and Bridgwater Trades Union Council attended today's march in Manchester - 50,000 people marched against the cuts and privatisation of our NHS.

The march was so huge we didn't make it to the rally, so we missed The Farm doing All Together Now - here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7MwXniOD44

The Manchester Evening News gave the march some great coverage -

Thanks to our coach stewards Eve Wilson and Jakob Wollmer.

Here are some photos from the march:
