Save Our Day Centres

10 February 2015. Anti-cuts demonstration outside Haringey Civic Centre, Wood Green.

 

As well as posters criticising Haringey councillor Peter Morton, for his foolish "Get Real" remark, there were 'Save Our Day Centres' posters.

 

These had a photo of Council "Leader" Claire Kober. She too had made a crass remark. Suggesting that instead of going to a Day Centre, people with Autism might prefer to visit the theatre.
