More than 20 campaigners turned up for the noTTIP day of Action in Reading town centre. Three campaigners acted as puppeteers to illustrate how, if agreed, TTIP would allow big business to pull the strings of our public services and democratic processes. A nurse puppet represented the privatisation of public services, a judge showed the undermining of democracy and a farmer puppet represented the threat to food safety standards and the environment.
Campaigners were dismayed that so few people had heard about TTIP but pleased by the number of people who stopped to listen and to take away literature about it.
