HUNDREDS of protesters marched through Witney today to take their fears over cuts and privatisation to David Cameron’s doorstep.

A grim reaper and a coffin bearing the message “here lies the remains of Royal Mail” led the way through the town at the heart of the Prime Minister's constituency.

Trade union activists and workers from across the country joined the march, led by an Indian drumming band and also featuring protesters in Postman Pat costumes.

Last year the Government unveiled the Postal Services Bill, which includes proposals to sell off up to 90 per cent of the Royal Mail. It has its third reading in Parliament on Wednesday.

Communication Workers’ Union Eastern regional secretary Paul Moffat, who helped to carry the coffin, said: “Simply it would mean the death of Royal Mail.

“We are here today to take the message to David Cameron’s constituency door that we are not going to stand idly by while he creates an elite society.”

The biggest cheer of the day was saved for 12-year-old Nicky Wishart, who took to the stage with sister Beth, 14, to give their own anti-cuts message.

The Bartholomew School, Eynsham pupil was pulled out of classes and questioned by police ahead of a public protest about Eynsham Young People's Centre, set to lose Oxfordshire County Council cash.

He told the crowd: “We see the youth leaders as our friends.

“It’s a place for us to go and be ourselves, away from teachers and parents, where we can talk about whatever we want. “
