<p>The government has been accused of taking a &#8220;wrecking ball&#8221; to the country by its cuts in public spending.</p>
<p>Len McCluskey, newly elected leader of the Unite union accused the government of going &#8220;far beyond&#8221; what was needed to rebalance the economy.</p>
<p>He told a conference in London organised by the Coalition of Resistance: &#8220;The anger that is unfurling across our country is not mindless.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is the legitimate expression of a people who feel that this government is taking a wrecking ball to our nation, going far beyond what is needed rebalance our books.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are using a global financial crisis to terrify the citizens of this country into meek acceptance of a raid on our schools, hospitals, services, jobs &#8211; the very fundamentals of our communities built up over 60 years of our tax and toil.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr McCluskey said communities would not allow the government to &#8220;hurl&#8221; the country back to the &#8220;wasted years&#8221; of unemployment and &#8220;destroyed&#8221; communities he said were the hallmark of the Thatcher years.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know there is an alternative, based on growth and tax justice, to the vandalism they are hell-bent on pursuing.</p>
<p>&#8220;In streets, schools, workplaces, universities and town halls up and down our country we will stand together against the senseless hardship they will unleash. We will not let them break Britain.</p>
<p>&#8220;And if this government ignores our alliance, then they will, deservedly, be run out of office.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bob Crow, leader of the Rail Maritime and Transport union said: &#8220;RMT sends its full solidarity to those fighting the savage austerity cuts unleashed on the Irish people by the EU superstate &#8211; cuts that will devastate jobs, public services and standards of living for generations to come.&#8221;</p>
