Those seeking to raise awareness of what’s being dubbed “a major threat to public services, food safety and wages” will be turning out in Newport today to spread the warning to even more people.
A spokesman for the organisers of today’s event in Newport said,
“Everyone is welcome to join us on Saturday at 11am in St James’s Square, Newport, where we will be handing out leaflets and explaining the dire threat posed to all of us by TTIP.”
Earlier in the year, similar events took place in Ryde and Newport, part of hundreds of demonstrations across the country, co-ordinated by respected pressure group 38 Degrees.
“Every one of us will be affected by it”
The spokesperson added,
“This is not just some bit of Brussels bureaucracy we can afford to ignore; every one of us will be affected by it. We will be powerless to prevent even our most private details from being grabbed by TTIP predators for commercial purposes.”
This is something that will affect all of us, if you want to sign the petition opposing TTIP head to Newport today from 11am.
