Demonstrate Against the Corporate Olympics. Assemble Mile End Park, East London. March to Victoria Park for People's Games for All. Info: http://tinyurl.com/7j9u4qv
Public Meeting with academic historian and political activist, Neil Faulkner. They're handing out two million free tickets to the rich. They're draping the stadium in corporate logos. They're turning East London into a cross between an arms fair and a war zone. Our rulers have turned the London Olympics into a showcase of class privilege, corporate power, and security wonkery.
Neil Faulkner is the author of "A Visitor's Guide to the Ancient
Olympics". He will analyse how sport is corrupted by our rulers and argues the case for mass protest against the hijack of the Olympic project.
The Liverpool Socialist Choir will be singing.
