London - A river of people have poured through the streets of London to the heart of Hyde Park. Half a million, according to organizers, united by a common slogan: no cuts to government spending Cameron, yes to an alternative plan that will promote jobs and economic growth. With them, the staff of the opposition Labour Party, Ed Miliband to the Shadow Minister of Economy Ed Balls, both hard against the government.
"This is the big society, Miliband has joked from the stage in Hyde Park, but not one that Cameron expects". The great March for the alternative was organized by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) (http://www. Tuc. Org. Uk), trade unions which are affiliated to the largest British labor organizations, first of all UN and Unison.
Students, retirees, and many families with children and young people have created a colorful, festive and peaceful procession, which moved from mid-morning from the central area of the Thames Embankment, and through the Parliament and Trafalgar, has continued to a tract of luxury, such as Piccadilly, and ends up in Hyde Park Corner.
Dangerously near to symbolic targets such as Parliament and Bukingham Palace, protected by huge cordons of police. Incidents have occurred in the early afternoon, in an area between Oxford Street and Cambridge Circus, where police and protesters have repeatedly compared. The police, in the past been criticized for using brutal methods, they initially avoided the kettling - containment technique criticized by human rights activists.
At about 16.30 hours local group of about 300 protesters occupied the historic store Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly. About half an hour after the police began to use the kettling around the affected area of the activists from the demonstration. Other protesters are currently along Regent Street.
The official protest was in fact united the many acronyms in the galaxy radical or anarchist, National Campaign Against Cuts and Fee (http://anticuts. Com) Uncuts to UK (http://www. Ukuncut. Org. Uk). Through their activism, which can involve students and young, and even with the help of websites and social networks, groups had promised quick action, visible and sensational: flash mob, the occupation of a secret achievement, and promise to transform Trafalgar Tahir Square in the Square, linking the capital with so revolutionary wave that rises from the Middle East.
Targeted, as announced on the eve, the clothing chain Topshop, Boots and Vodafone, and then (cosmetics shop), a company accused of evading the tax against the taxpayer millions of pounds. Goal yet more focused, but not actually hit, the headquarters of BAE in Carlton Street. BAE (www. baesystems.
com) is one of the largest companies of the military world, "the system supplier Saudi Arabia," declared one of the organizers of the march Chris Knight in London's Evening Standard newspaper. "The same regime that is occupying the Saudi Bahrain and firing on protesters." Today's was one of the largest protests since 2003, which led to the streets against the war in Iraq ordered by Tony Blair alongside the U.S., no less than 1 million people.
But on the eve of the controversy are not missed. Just Friday, the former head of Scotland Yard anti-terrorism, Handy Hayman had invited from the pages of Policy Exchange to preventive websites which refer to violent groups. Policy Exchange is also the most influential conservative think tank, considered close to Prime Minister David Cameron.
So that Hayman's claims were dismissed as propaganda and to deter the march from a spokesman for the trade unions.
