  • The NUT leads a national strike action in England and Wales. Marches and rallies are being held around the country, including this one from Broadcasting House to Downing Street, Whitehall. The union says the action is being taken against: Excessive workload and bureaucratic; Performance related pay and in defence of a national pay scale system; Unfair pension changes. Christine Blower, General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, the largest teachers’ union said: “Teachers deeply regret the disruption caused by this strike action to parents and teachers. The Government’s refusal, however, to engage to resolve the dispute means that we have no alternative other than to demonstrate the seriousness of our concerns.<br />
“Teachers’ levels of workload are intolerable –the Government’s own survey, published last month, shows that primary school teachers work nearly 60 hours a week and secondary school teachers work nearly 56 hours a week. 2 in 5 teachers are leaving the profession in the first 5 years of teaching as are many others.  This is bad for children and bad for education. London, UK 26 March 2014.

  • Freemen of the City of London exercise their right to drive sheep across London Bridge –  organised by the Worshipful Company of Woolmen, it is one of London’s ancient traditions, dating back more than 800 years.  This year it was attended by Shaun the Sheep, ahead of the ‘Shaun in the City’ arts trail coming to London in spring 2015.  The event aims not only to put the spotlight on British lamb and wool but also to raise funds for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. Last year’s event raised more than £40,000, part of the £43 million raised for charity by the 110 City of London Livery Companies last year. This year’s event involved more than 600 freemen drawn from the City’s 110 Livery Companies and twenty sheep, provided for the event by a farmer from Bedfordshire, with only ten at a time driven across the bridge. 05 Oct 2014.
