The arrival of the Prime Minister and the Conservative | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
party conference in Birmingham has prompted a demonstration ag`inst the | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
austerity cuts. Hundreds of people from across the region marched | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
through the city to highlight what they call the cost of living crisis | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
affecting ordinary working people. Here's Joan Cummins. | :00:46. | :01:03. | |
We just want a decent life, a pay rise and to be able to live in our | :01:04. | :01:29. | |
communities in a fair way. The unions say they are simply trying to | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
persuade the government to rethink their austerity measures. Wd are | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
asking for the ability to fded our kids, have a decent life. It's not a | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
lot to ask for. This is the first of many demonstrations planned by the | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
joint unions. They say they are determined that their voices will be | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
heard. Austerity is not the answer. We need an alternative. I'm not | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
interested in these million`ire guys. They know nothing abott our | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
lives. We are poor here. Thdre are billions and billions in unpaid tax | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
which would more than cover the deficit in a couple of years. It is | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
ordinary people paying for the mistakes. David Cameron will use the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Birmingham conference to galvanise the party faithful for the general | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
election battle next year. Outside, with industrial action planned in | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
public sector next month, there are growing signs that he may h`ve a | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
fight on his hands. The delegates tend to be in their | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
own little bubble. They havd lots of tea and coffee. The people H've been | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
talking to, most of them didn't know what was happening. If you people | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
had heard about this demonstration comedies and T austerity protests. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
They certainly don't agree with the sentiment of it. One gentlelan said | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
's rights to voice their ophnion but they are committing the information, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
things like manufacturing exports are wrapped and that there `re more | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
private`sector jobs in the Lidlands. There was a suggestion this could be | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
the last major party conferdnce in Birmingham for some time but the | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
stories seem to like it herd. `` the Tories. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
We had heard that these events had gone off the boil. But what we've | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
heard from the Conservatives today is that they are coming back in | :03:10. | :03:15. | |

twice as Albion recorded thdir third victory of the week. In the | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Championship Wolves looked to have grabbed a late winner at Re`ding | :03:36. | :03:37. | |

side hit back to share the points in a 3`3 draw. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
