Proposal to amend the first paragraph to:

March 26 looks set to be the biggest street mobilisation in Britain since
the anti-war march of 2003, with hundreds of thousands likely to join the
TUC's "March for the Alternative". As the Con-Dem government escalates 
the class war with its cuts package, and following the rebellious 
creativity of the recent student protests, not to mention the uprisings 
sweeping the Arab world, will the crowd be content just to obey the TUC 
leaders and march from A to B? Following
several calls to turn it into a day of real action against the government
and the economy [NetworkX | Rallying Call | UK Ungoverned], various groups
have announced plans including feeder marches, blockades and more. In
particular, occupations should be a key theme as UKuncut plan to take over
Oxford Street and another secret target, and others call to "Occupy
Everything". Will this be the turning point where the energy and rage 
seen on
the streets this winter spreads beyond the youth to workers and all who
will stand and fight? Read more...
