Westminster Bridge, Sunday 9th October, 13.00 to 16.00.

UK Uncut to shut down Westminster Bridge in protest over NHS bill

Thousands expected to occupy one of London's most iconic landmarks on 9th October in last-ditch attempt to defeat bill condemned by doctors as 'undermining all that is precious about the NHS'

UK Uncut has announced that it is planning a spectacular act of mass civil disobedience in a last-ditch attempt to defeat the government's Health and Social Care bill [1]. The anti-austerity direct action group will bring traffic to a halt by blocking Westminster Bridge at 1pm on Sunday 9th October, days before the bill is debated in the House of Lords.
