Demonstrators block Westminster Bridge over controversial bill

Описание: Demonstrators in the United Kingdom have blocked Westminster Bridge as they rally against a controversial bill which would give police more powers to clamp down on protests.

Crowds are growing outside the House of Commons as MPs debate the legislation.

Some protesters have turned out for a second night after the brutal crackdown on a vigil for murdered woman Sarah Everard.

Officers said they were responding to a breach of COVID-19 restrictions after thousands ignored health advice to attend.

Labour is opposing the bill saying it does not do enough on women’s safety and goes too far on demonstrations.
