London Protestors Demand Ouster of Theresa May’s Govt.

Saturday 1 July 2017
London Protestors Demand Ouster of Theresa May’s Govt.

Alwaght- Thousands of demonstrators are marching through the streets of London Saturday to protest Britain’s Conservative government.

The rally, titled ‘Not One Day More #ToriesOut’, starts at the Broadcasting House in Portland Place and finishes at the Houses of Parliament in Westminster.

Over 10,000 people on Facebook confirmed they will attend the protest which has been organized by the People’s Assembly Against Austerity (PAAA) group.

Theresa May called the General Election to gain a bigger majority, and despite massive media bias in favor of the Conservatives, she failed spectacularly to deliver on that,” a PAAA statement reads.

Pictures from the march showed crowds waving placards with slogans including "Austerity kills" and "Kick the Tories out".

 A minute’s silence will be held in memory of the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire on June 14.

Labor leader addressing thousands at Parliament Square slammed what he called the Tories’ ‘hypocrisy’ for voting against lifting public sector pay cap.

Jeremy Corbyn said he was determined to force another election at an anti-austerity protest attended by thousands of people in central London.

Corbyn told the crowds in Westminster: “We are the people, we are united and we are determined, we are not going to be divided or let austerity divide us. We are increasing in support and we are determined to force another election as soon as we can.”

He then went on to slam the “hypocrisy” of Tory MPs who praised the work of the emergency services dealing with Grenfell Tower and the recent terror attacks.

 “The utter hypocrisy of government ministers and others who queued up in the chamber over there in the House of Commons to heap praise on the emergency services, the following day to cut their wages by refusing to lift the pay cap,” he said. “The hypocrisy is absolutely unbelievable.”

The march's organizers said they “need to make sure” the opposition to Theresa May’s Government is felt.

They wrote online: “If we continue to mobilize in huge numbers we can deepen the crisis for the Conservatives and force big concessions on the NHS, education, housing and jobs.

On Saturday 1 July we invite everyone - from campaigns and community groups across the country, from the trade unions, from political parties, and any individual - to come together in one massive show of strength and solidarity.

The protests come after May's Conservative minority government secured lawmakers' backing for its legislative plans by a narrow margin Thursday, but only after making a sudden concession on abortion funding to stave off defeat.

The House of Commons voted by 323 to 309 to approve last week's Queen's Speech, which laid out the government's agenda for the next two years.

May called the snap election in a misjudged attempt to bolster her majority and strengthen her authority during talks on Britain's departure from the European Union. Instead, it left her weakened at home and abroad, and tipped Parliament into a new era of deal-making, compromise and concessions.

In a sign of the government's fragile hold on power, government ministers were forced into a major concession hours before the vote. Fearing defeat on an opposition amendment, ministers said they would pay for women from Northern Ireland to travel to England for abortions.

This month's election left the Conservatives with 317 of the 650 seats in Parliament, several short of a majority, while Labor won a better-than-anticipated 262 seats.
