Thousands march through central London to protest against NHS privatisation and demand better pay for nurses
THOUSANDS of public health campaigners gathered in central London on Saturday to stand in solidarity with striking NHS workers and to demand an end to the Tories’ creeping privatisation plans.
Protesters were joined by public-sector workers, trade unionists and MPs, including Labour’s Richard Burgon and John McDonnell, who led a banner through the capital’s streets.
The action, organised by the SOS NHS coalition of more than 50 organisations, including Keep Our NHS Public (KONP) and We Own It, began outside Warren Street station and was followed by a rally.
