Nearly 800,000 union workers in Britain converged in London on yesterday to demand that the government end its austerity measures. Similar to other unrest in Spain, Portugal and Greece and across the Atlantic in the US last year, Britian’s workers demand an end to the distribution re arrangement policies dubbed “austerity measures” by the press and politicians.
