The banner of the Young Socialists and Workers Revolutionary Party on the march
OVER 10,000 youth and workers demanding âKill the Billâ marched from Speakers Corner Hyde Park and rallied in Parliament Square, central London, on Saturday.
Protests against the draconian Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill also took place in Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool, Brighton, Weymouth and Luton.
And more than 1,000 people gathered in Bristol for what was the fifth Kill the Bill demonstration in the city centre in the last two weeks.
Meanwhile, hundreds demonstrated in Manchester where people were seen sitting on tram tracks before police moved in.

A WAVE of companies across the UK and the rest of Europe will be forced into bankruptcy as new figures show that the default rate on corporate loans has doubled.
According to S&P Global ratings data provided to the Daily Telegraph, businesses across the UK and Europe are up to their necks in a £1.5 trillion debt mountain that is due to mature in the next four years.
£245 billion of this debt is due to mature this year, meaning that it will have to be paid off immediately over the coming months with more and more companies driven to default and bankruptcy.

THE LEADERSHIP of the Trade Union Congress, a body which includes 6.4 million workers and has the power to shut the entire country down with a general strike, has given up any semblance of a fight against the Tories and is now calling on them to bring in a âworkersâ budget!â
In an opinion piece in the Guardian newspaper yesterday, Frances OâGrady, general secretary of the TUC, wrote her article under the headline âRishi Sunak must deliver a workersâ budget to ensure a post-Covid recoveryâ.
Her headline would do credit to âAlice in Wonderlandâ.
Tory Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said in no uncertain terms that he is determined to âbalance the booksâ and with the UK in £2.1 trillion pounds-worth of debt, Sunak has indicated that the budget will include plans to begin to claw that debt back.
