Alwaght-Unprecedented protests have rocked, Britain's capital London in a 'Day of Rage' with marchers seeking to ‘bring down government' of Prime Minister Theresa May.
Three protests are being held to coincide with the Queen’s Speech, the formal unveiling of the government’s legislative agenda.
One protest organized by the Movement for Justice By Any Means Necessary (MJF), will demand local housing for the displaced residents of Grenfell Tower and for all residents who do not have immigration papers to be given a permanent right to remain in the UK. Protestors are irate over May's handling of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in which 79 people have been confirmed dead after a powerful inferno ripped through the 24 floor apartment block last week.
Referencing the Grenfell Tower fire and “brutal austerity, cuts and anti-immigrant attacks”, the description on the MFJ event page reads: “Politicians and many community and religious leaders will be looking to divert our rage and fury into inquiries, investigations, reports, court hearings, and parliamentary processes.
“We will not accept those brush-offs and diversions, we will not settle for less than the destruction of May’s coalition of austerity and bigotry – we must bring down this government.”
May’s agenda was stripped of Conservative Party pledges after May’s election campaign left her party without enough MPs to pass more contentious plans. Instead, she focused on what little clout she has on pushing through Brexit.
May was forced to endure the embarrassment of putting her Queen’s Speech before parliament without knowing if it can be passed. She wrote it having failed to secure the support of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) MPs needed for her Commons majority.
