The Trades Union Congress said workers and campaigners from across the UK would be involved with the London demonstration


Tens of thousands of people are marching in protest at the government's austerity measures.

Labour leader Ed Miliband is among dozens of speakers addressing crowds at the biggest march in London. Other rallies are taking place in Glasgow and Belfast.

Demonstrators want the coalition to end public service cuts and instead create policies they say can create growth.

The government says austerity measures are vital to cutting the deficit.

1. Kick. I saw in another post where there is going to be..........

a one day (?) general strike in mid November in three countries, Spain, Portugal, and Greece. It would be nice, if Britian joined in. Eurowide strikes will be the only way to make a difference. And especially in the countries that are being the hardest hit by austerity. Italy? Ireland? Even Germany and France, join in solidarity with your hardest hit brothers and sisters. It's time.
