London Pride is a protest

Thousands of people attended London Pride last Saturday. 

Organisers hailed this year’s event as the city’s biggest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender celebration for more than a decade.

There were union banners from the CWU, GMB, RMT and Prospect. 

Anti-fascists who had been protesting against the English Defence League (EDL) in Hyde Park joined the demonstration after the tiny numbers of EDL dispersed.
