ON SATURDAY

More than 250,000 people took to London's

streets to protest the toughest spending

cuts. 

 

More than 200 people were arrested

°

Teachers, nurses, firefighters, public sector

workers, students, pensioners and

campaign groups all took part in Saturday's

mass demonstration.

°

Although most of Saturday's

demonstration 

was peaceful, clashes continued into the

night as dozens of protesters pelted officers

with bottles and amonia-filled lightbulbs.

°

 Groups set several fires and smashed shop

windows near tourist landmarks such as

Trafalgar Square.

°

The demonstration began in the afternoon.

Police said one small group of protesters

broke away from the main march, scuffling

with police officers and attempting to

smash windows on two of London's main

shopping streets. Others threw objects at

the posh Ritz Hotel in nearby Piccadilly.

Peaceful rally in London  turned violent...

I look for big problems in California soon. Stay clear of these protests and take good care of yourself, wonderful friend. Thanks for sharing what is happening there in London. Hug. Three
