The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Plan to Demonstrate Budget Day 8th March 2015

Queen Boudica or Boadicea

The Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) campaign group was formed to demand transitional arrangements including a 'bridging pension' for those caught out by the way the changes were brought about.

Budget Day they are planning a demonstration in Old Palace Yard, opposite the Houses of Parliament, from 1pm tomorrow (Wednesday 8 March) - which is both Budget Day and International Women's Day. Speakers at the event will include the Scottish National Party's Mhairi Black, Britain's youngest MP and a well-known advocate for WASPI's cause, as well as Conservative, Labour and Lib Dem MPs and trade union Unison's general secretary Dave Prentis.

Hundreds of WASPI supporters from across the country are expected to attend, with groups known to be travelling from all across the UK. Queen Boudica or Boadicea - whose statute is shown above, would be justly proud of them.
