TUC condemns post-rally violence in central London

Signs of the protest are still evident in London

Violence which followed a day of anti-spending cuts protests in London has been condemned by union leaders.

Hours after a peaceful march to Hyde Park, there were clashes between police and protesters in Trafalgar Square.
The TUC said the activities of a few hundred people should not detract from the main message of the official protest, which it said was attended by "between 250,000 and 500,000 people".
Police said a total of 201 arrests had been made during the day.
Business Secretary Vince Cable has said the government will not change its economic strategy as a result of the protest.
He told the BBC's Politics Show: "Certainly we're listening. I talk regularly to the trade union movement, I think it's important we have a dialogue with them but we're not going to change the basic economic strategy.
"No government - coalition, Labour or other - would change its fundamental economic policy simply in response to a demonstration of that kind."
Clock attack Saturday's arrests were largely for a variety of public order offences, they said. In addition, 66 people were reported to have been injured, including at least 31 police officers, 11 of whom required hospital treatment. The injuries were described as relatively minor.
