Millions go to war on the Tories

It was a historic day. Britain's biggest strike since 1926 saw the working class march firmly on to centre stage of the political arena.

Over two and half million struck. It dealt the biggest blow yet to the government's attempt to make workers pay for capitalism's crisis.

Towns and cities across the country saw huge rallies that brought workers together to defy the cuts.

Over half a million marched—including some 10,000 in Dundee, 20,000 in Bristol and 50,000 in London (see pages 4&5 for more).
