<div>Last Saturday we had a stall in Portobello High Street - opposite the Town Hall.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We got a positive response; the issue of privatisation of care remains deeply unpopular with many people despite the recession.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many have experience of the difficulties; risks etc.</div>

<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Libraries; cafes; pubs; shops; community centres; churches; centres for elderly; door- to door leafletting etc.</div>
<div> </div>
