As the cost of living crisis continue to escalate in the United Kingdom and indeed other European societies, thousands of people joined a demonstration in London, calling for general elections.
A coalition of trade unions and community organisations took part in the “Britain is Broken” protest, organized by The People’s Assembly, in central London.
The group said protesters were demanding immediate general elections, action on low pay, and the repeal of “anti-union” employment laws.
A protester Adam Robinson, was quoted saying, people would “keep shouting” until the government listened, and likened the movement to the 1990 poll tax riots, which he credited with causing then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s fall from power.
