On March 26th, join UK Uncut as we take over Oxford Street, say no to the cuts and make the tax dodgers and the banks pay.

Until now we have been fighting a phoney war. On March 23rd George Osborne announces his budget and the real battle begins. We don't know the exact details of the budget yet, but what's certain is that it won't be a blueprint for any mythical Big Society. Instead, it'll be a recipe for a society that is smaller, colder and crueller.

But there is an alternative. And on March 26th the fight back begins properly, with hundreds of thousands of people descending on London to join the TUC's massive March For The Alternative. UK Uncut will be joining the march (UK Uncut bloc meets 11.30 outside the National Theatre), but we'll also be bringing a little something of our own to the party.

Over the last five months, thousands of UK Uncut volunteers across the country have been hitting the high streets to show that there are alternatives. Collect the tax dodged by the super rich and make the banks pay for the crisis they caused.

On March 26th, just after the huge march has reached its final destination, we're going to be holding Occupy For the Alternative, a massive simultaneous shut down of banks and tax dodgers on London's Oxford Street.

From 2pm flash mobs, bail-ins and occupations will shut down the dozens of banks and tax dodgers along the length of Europe's biggest shopping street. As normal, it's up to you to make this happen. The map of Oxford Street is on the website -- it's up to you to fill it with pins. If you have organized or taken part in an action in Liverpool or Glasgow or Brighton or anywhere else, why not bring your skills and your friends to the capital for the day? This is our chance to converge from across the country to take action together.

If you're up for organizing an action, adopt one of the many targets on Oxford Street, get some people together, list the action on the website and make sure you're ready for the 26th.

And at 3.30pm, after the dispersed actions, there will be a massive final convergence at Oxford Target, ready for a mass occupation of a top secret Oxford Street target. You don't want to miss this!

March 26th is not the end of the battle against the cuts. It is the beginning. Join us on Oxford Street and let's help kick things off in style.

After you've marched, why not occupy? See you on the streets.

@BeeRich33 Ive just worked out that F&M gave 6.6 times more money to the conservatives than they did to charities!

I have just found out also that F&M own primark who make their money from child labour and sweatshops.

F&M is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde character on one hand they are slightly caring and supportive and on the other hand they make their money out of misery and take any opportunity to rip off the community

Maybe im cynical but i dont believe that they can be both

@BeeRich33

It'd be cool if you actually understood economics.

But I guess being a yokel is an international 24/7 job too.

You said"You are jealous. You are envious. Start donating to the community, hire people, have them pay taxes "

I see you think others should pay tax but not you.your employees pay their taxes not yours.

and I bet you give minimum wage bullshit.

Jealous and envy ?you sound like this nob-head that i complained about because he parked his city range rover at a bus stop and caused a big jam,apparently i was jealous of his wanker mobile and having about 100 people all thinking he was a loser

[portsanity]

TAX STRIKE IS THE ONLY ANSWER

@BeeRich33 I work and i work hard

Angola proves you have no morals,if it was legal to mug grannies i bet you would right out there

[BeeRich33]

@salemandpepper That's just sad. F&M sponging off you. You don't do shit.

[BeeRich33]

@salemandpepper Wow you just can't read, can you? Angola proves nothing and has nothing to do with F&M. Just because you disagree with anything, doesn't mean it's unjust. This video is about a bunch of zeros walking into private property and doing damage. If you can't understand that, then you are just plain ass fuckin stupid. That's it. Next time I hope they arrest your dumb ass.
