    Million mask march

    More than 50 arrested after thousands of protesters attended Million Mask March 

    "People are not happy with the way things are in this country.
    "There has been a huge rise in unemployment and homelessness and I want to see Theresa May and her unelected government out.
    "Wages have stayed the same and the cost of living had increased.
    "People are starting to realise that things aren't right."

    No they aren't....

    Yet another muppet who doesn't understand the British constitution.

    The Tories won the last election and they can change party leader whenever they like whilst in power. That leader will be our PM and the only people who elect that MP are those in that MP's constituency.

      Thousands of people descended on central London for the Million Mask March which saw police make 10 arrests.

        It's bizarre.

        These people just seem to regurgitate lines from the past without understanding what they are saying. As usual they target the Tories because that's what they have been brought up on.

        But unemployment has been falling.
        Tax on the lowest incomes has been cut drastically (by Tories)
        A living wage will be introduced (by Tories)
        Every member of the Government was elected, including Theresa May. And the great thing about this country is they can be unelected too. The Tories were thrown out en masse in 97. New Liebour were thrown out en masse in 2010.

        The bigger danger is from the Liberal elitists like Bliar and Branson as they slowly develop a ruling party and turn us into China.

            I agree with all of those points from my Ivory Tower.

              yes but then they threw bricks.

              Policing of marches has got better.

              Bloody hell they would vote in Jezzy!

                So, thousands of people turned up to a Million Mask March?

                Lefties don't understand orders of magnitude, do they?

                Bless 'em!

                    Oxford University student Emma Janson, 18, came into the restaurant to get away from the mob with two friends.

                    She said: "We don't know how we're going to get out of here.

                    "We only came in here to get away from them and there was no where else to go.

                    "It's really uncomfortable to watch them throwing bottles and fireworks from outside the window.

                    "Hopefully by the time we leave they will be gone.

                    "It's pretty scary."

                    The police beamed a message in green letters onto a building in Parliament Square, which read: "Please observe Public Order Act restrictions. Failure to comply may result in arrest and prosecution. Officers may require you to remove facial covering. Failure to comply is an offence."

                    It came after members of the crowd ignited fireworks and flares in front of Westminster Abbey.

                    Angela Windsor, an unemployed 40-year-old, said she travelled from Wales to take part in the event.

                    "Nobody is protecting people - nobody cares," she said.

                    "I think everyone here cares enough about people to make the effort to come down and try and do something, because the officials aren't doing it."

                    Pretty restrained if it had been the French Police there would have been busted heads.

                    So was Angela available for work? How much does a train ticket from Wales cost? Or did she drive?
