Fifty thousand people marched on the Conservative party conference in Manchester yesterday in defence of public services ‘under attack’ from David Cameron’s government.

The city centre became a sea of colour – as protesters sent a clear message to the prime minister to scrap spending cuts and drop NHS reforms.

Blistering sunshine made for a carnival atmosphere as the march made its way from Liverpool Road, along Deansgate and past the conference centre and down Oxford Road to a rally in Whitworth Park.

As it happened: Manchester anti-cuts protest

Organisers hailed the high-than-expected turnout, with Greater Manchester Police estimating that more than 50,000 turned up – at least 10,000 more than expected.

GMP said that the protest – perhaps the largest ever dealt with by the force – had passed off peacefully in the most part, with just two arrests for breaches of the peace.

I was expecting people in the UK finally to wake up and start protesting in a bigger scale and it happened. Hopefully more and more will follow this example and I wish more people to go out and support anti chemtrails protests as well as those events have been undermined by the majority of the population.
