Because of the expected increases in basic needs, due to the 3 percent increase in interest rates announced by the Bank of England in the past days, thousands of people took to the streets to protest the cost of living in the capital of UK, London. The demonstrators demanded an increase in their income from the government to fight the rising inflation.
The demonstrations started the protest in Central London and ended it in Trafalgar Square after passing in front of the Prime Minister’s Office. Police detained 4 amongst the demonstrators.
