Protesters demand the Bank of England returns Venezuela's gold
Labour MP Chris Williamson says the British government is ‘behaving like Trump’s poodle’
PROTESTERS gathered outside of the Bank of England (BoE) today to demand it give Venezuela back 31 tonnes of gold that belong to the Latin American country.
The crowd chanted “no blood for oil” and “BoE, you’ve been told, give Venezuela back its gold” as a masked figure of US President Donald Trump danced around with blocks of “gold.”
