I don't think the situation now compared to 1936 is even similar .Although unemployment is rising it isn't as high as it was in the early 80's .Today we have a comprehensive welfare system ,it has it's problems but it is there,back then the system was still in it's infancy ,people were literally starving ,being forcibly evicted and where treated as a underclass .Society is totally different now ,we have safeguards in place to prevent the sort of poverty that the original marchers protested against .All this march will achieve will be to give cameron some tv time making supportive noises and slagging of the labour party
