Description |
An official nation-wide campaign to protest against the Conservative government's impending new regulations regarding young people on the dole and in private accommodation which has the potential of making many young people homeless. Film of the campsite on Deansgate in Manchester with young people petitioning passers-by, explaining the legislation, the impact and getting people to sign the petition. A young person explains the new rules and the consequences of homelessness. At their desk young petitioners count the number of signed pages they have gathered and someone from NALGO (National Association of Local Government Officers) delivers a stack of petitions they have gathered. Several interviews with young people and how they feel about the situation. |
