Thousands gather in Trafalgar Square ready to march against a newly proposed police, crime, sentencing and courts bill on May Day (or Labour Day). Numerous social movements have united to protest against the bill, which they say would place significant curbs on freedom of speech and assembly, by giving police powers to curb protests, among other measures.
