THOUSANDS of people marched through the streets of Manchester today telling delegates to the Tory Party conference there that they are not welcome.

Headed by the banner of the Manchester People’s Assembly, which organised the march with the national People’s Assembly, the protesters represented trade unions and a huge diversity of campaign groups expressing their anger at the destruction wrought across society by the Tories.

Disabled people, peace activists and dozens more groups marched noisily through the city centre.
