Sunday 4 October 20015 saw huge crowds take to the streets of to protest. The event was organised by the TUC.
Greater Manchester Police mounted an operation to ensure people’s right to protest was upheld while ensuring the city could function as normal.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare, who commanded the operation, said: “Around 60,000 people took part in a demonstration within our city in the spirit of their causes and I would like to thank them for their co-operation.
”The overwhelming majority of people exercised their democratic right to protest with dignity and good grace.
”In those rare instances where individuals sought to cause trouble, our officers acted in a calm and professional manner to ensure that the actions of the few did not compromise the safety, enjoyment and reputation of the majority.
”The fact that only four arrests were made was particularly pleasing.
“I would like to thank the organisers for taking responsibility and ensuring the demonstration was planned and delivered appropriately.”

Somewhere along some street (Sullivan and Insurgentes), there is a temporary squatter's village that is set up, and every day the homeless protest in nothing but a loincloth. I believe they are protesting the government's inaction on homelessness, which is a difficult situation for Mexico City.
