80,000 march in "Take Back Manchester" anti-austerity protest : London 04.10.2015

 

Huge crowds of anti-austerity campaigners, trade unionists, disability rights activists, anti-fracking groups, anti-Trident campaigners and aggrieved members of public marched through Manchester city centre in a "Take Back Manchester" demonstration as the annual Conservative Party conference opened. The conference venue was completely encircled by a massive "ring of steel" and was heavilly policed, including police snipers on the rooftops. Political artist Kaya Mar joined the march with his latest satirical artwork lampooning Prime Minister David Cameron.
