  • Tony Robinson

    Tony Robinson - Actor & TV Presenter

    The mess created by the bankers can't be paid for at the expense of public services. The sign of a decent society is how we educate our kids, look after the sick and care for our elderly people.

  • Tony Benn

    Tony Benn - Politician & former Cabinet Minister

    Public services meet public need in terms of health, education and housing, funded by taxation, which is paid according to your capacity to pay. Without them you can’t have a fair society.

  • Ken Livingstone

    Ken Livingstone - Politician & former Mayor of London

    The services UNISON members provide are vital. They sustain all that is decent in our society, and they deserve a decent wage. Any money they are paid goes straight back into the local economy.
