Demonstrators and activists will take to central London this weekend, in what has become a regular occurrence on the streets of the capital in recent months.

This weekend is quiet on the protest front, however, protestors will be gathering in central London to stand against the government.

According to Amnesty International: “The UK’s fundamental rights to peaceful protest are rapidly disappearing as police forces begin to use the vast range of new anti-protest powers.” However, some Brits continue to mobilise whenever they can, in vast numbers, to raise awareness of crucial issues.

Here’s what you need to know about the protest scheduled for London this weekend.

Saturday, February 28th

An “anti-government march” is taking place on Saturday. Particpants are meeting at Parliament Square at 1pm.

An Instagram post announcing the protest reads: “If you're in the UK and you want justice, be there. Time for talking is over we need a revolution ASAP”.
