Aberdeen Scotland - Campaign for free public transport

Members of the Aberdeen SSP branch were out leafleting in the city centre yesterday, on what turnout out to be a sunny, enjoyable and successful afternoon! As part of our campaign to support SSP candidate Ewan Robertson for Aberdeen North in the general election, our central arguments were that we must oppose public spending cuts aimed at making the majority of the population pay for an economic crisis created by the bankers and politicians at Westminster, as well as arguing for the withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan and the need for a locally-owned, free public transport service in Aberdeen rather than the current rip-off service from privatised First Bus. If you want to come and speak to us or support us during the campaign, we will be having a stall at Aberdeen University this Wednesday, a meeting in the Belmont cinema cafe downstairs this Wednesday evening, and more stalls in the city centre this coming weekend.  AberdeenSSP
