A march in London against austerity and for a socialist alternative congregated at Portland Place today at midday.
Several thousand rallied and set off at around 1pm down Regent Street and on to Parliament Square.
The march represented a wide cross section of British society including Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and Jews.
The cry that often could be heard on this intentionally anti-austerity march was “Free Palestine” and indeed there were many Palestinian flags on display.
Zarah Sultana MP spoke at the Parliament Square rally, lending support to a 15% rise in nurses wages.
The march passed off peacefully and in good humour.
