Victoria Jones, White House Correspondent joins Thom Hartmann. One day after 2 million workers poured into the streets in the largest strikes Britain has seen in generations - people are returning to work - but there's still an uneasiness in the streets. As one protestor from yesterday - Ron Foulkes of the University and Colleges Union said, "This is just the opening round of the battle about what ordinary people have the right to expect from society. We need to be prepared to continue this struggle for as long as it takes." Meanwhile the coalition government of David Cameron of the Conservatives, and Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, is pushing ahead with more planned austerity as though yesterday's massive strike never happened. Cameron even resorted to ridiculing the movement calling it a "damp squib" that was "irresponsible and damaging." So where is this headed now?
