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.

  9. With the budget deficits and cuts that have to be made because of such, there will be many problems across the Uk and America this summer. 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
