ORGANISERS OF Shropshire's 1,500 strong contingent in the mass protest in central London today condemned violence which flared up in the protest march as police revealed 149 people faced charges. Dr William Edmonson, union member and co-organiser of the Shropshire protest, said the unrest had been magnified by the national media in what was an otherwise peaceful protest. The 149 people have been charged with offences in connection with the disorder which followed the protest by hundreds of thousands of people against the Government's spending cuts. About 201 people were arrested after trouble flared following the daytime demonstration from Embankment to Hyde Park.
