LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 28.11.09. Unemployed people, students, union activists and socialist campaigners – from across the UK – congregate in central London to demonstrate and demand jobs as the rate of youth unemployment stands at a record high on Saturday 28 November 2009 in London, England. Unemployment in the UK totalled 2.46 million in the three months to September. Youth unemployment – measuring the number of 16 to 24-year-olds out of work – rose by 15,000 to 943,000.

great photos mark and it was a fantastic protest too!
OK! these are your pictures? I kinda know the Socialist Party already, but do you know if anyone but them is involved in “YFJ”?
I heard about a YFJ event at a Shop Stewards Network meeting – it sounds a bit like the YTURC youth TU rights campaign that i joined in 1985!
