UK Uncut throws street party at deputy PM Nick Clegg's home - London
Around two hundred UK Uncut, and Occupy LSX activists congregated in the leafy streets of Putney and held an impromptu street party outside the family home of deputy prime minister Nick Clegg to protest against the government's austerity cuts.
Assembling initially at four different london locations - Parliament Square, University College Hospital on Gower Street, London Bridge and the concourse in Waterloo Station and representing four distinct protest 'blocs' (NHS cuts, Welfare cuts, cuts to Women's services and the worsening state of democracy in the UK), around two hundred UK Uncut, Occupy LSX and Disabled People Against Cuts activists met up at Waterloo Station and embarked en-mass on the overground train to Putney where they headed off to throw an impromptu street party - complete with bunting, cakes, sandwiches, bubbles, samba drummers and a band - outside the London home of deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, watched and prevented from getting right outside his front door by a large number of police and under the disapproving glares of Mr. Clegg's neighbours, who were generally appalled at this invasion of their leafy sanctuary by cuts protesters.
