There is no need for these cuts. UK banks made £24 billion profits last year. We are paying for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The coalition finds the money for its favourite programs like academy schools. The Bury Action Group, which brings together everyone fighting the cuts in Bury, is calling for action to stop these cuts.
