JSA Actions

On the first day of the Job Seekers Allowance various groups across the country voiced their disapproval. In Brighton over three hundred people gathered in Churchill Square and accompanied by police paid a visit to the DSS office in North Street that was already being occupied by the Justice? crew.

From there they headed en masse to the second office in West Street where two people climbed onto the roof to hang a banner. The third office visited was being manned by scab workers as the staff were on a one day strike against the JSA. There they were treated to a piece of Street Theatre about the effect the JSA would have had on Jesus, if he had had the misfortune to be around in Britain today.

Meanwhile in North London an old DSS building was squatted, and a banner denouncing the JSA was hung from the roof. At the same time as this a demo was in progress outside Westminster Central Hall.
