London: Massive Anti-cuts Protest, Anarchists Vow to Unleash Hell

MAIL ONLINE: Anarchist groups are threatening to ‘release all hell’ today at a trade unions march to be addressed by Labour leader Ed Miliband.

Police fear scores of violent anti-capitalist demonstrators could hijack the anti-cuts demonstration and cause chaos in London’s West End.

Up to 250,000 people are expected to join the march, with organisers saying it will be the largest since up to a million took to the streets in 2003 to oppose the war in Iraq.

Mr Miliband has hailed it as a ‘march of the mainstream’ and urged people to take to the streets to demand ‘an alternative, to save our services, to show the cuts are going too deep and too fast’.

The Labour leader is expected to address crowds in Hyde Park at the end of the rally. His appearance is risky, because he will be blamed by opponents if the event ends in violence.
