There is a lack of jobs and there are not enough houses being built, these are problems we see in countries even without a large immigrant population.<br \/>\n\u201cI am marching to defend my way of life, which is a multicultural way of life.\u201d<br \/>\nA number of members of The People\u2019s Assembly will be attending the march and Rob Griffiths, a spokesman for the group, said speaking up against discrimination was particularly important in the age of austerity.<br \/>\nHe said: \u201cPart of the government\u2019s strategy when driving through austerity measures is to identify scapegoats and divert attention away from the economic crisis.<br \/>\n\u201cBut in Cardiff we have a long history of being a multicultural society which makes us more determined to stop this from happening.\u201d<br \/>\nRiverside Councillor Cecilia Love said: &#8220;Demonstrations are also being held in Glasgow and London, with Diane Abbot and Green Party leader Natalie Bennett among the speakers in the English capital.&#8221;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3597\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3597\" style=\"width: 819px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/mike-mantin.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-3597 \" alt=\"Photo: Mike Mantin \" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/mike-mantin.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"614\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3597 \" alt=\"Photo: Mike Mantin \" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/mike-mantin.jpg\" width=\"819\" height=\"614\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Up to 1,000 people are expected to attend the Cardiff march on March 22.
