Hundreds inspired by yellow vest movement rally in London

Hundreds of protesters inspired by France's yellow vest movement rallied Saturday in Britain, drawing attention to government austerity programs that have hit the poor hard.

Wearing yellow vests with slogans such as “Britain is Broken” written on the back, the demonstrators marched in London to demand that politicians pay attention to their plight rather than being endlessly diverted by the spectacle surrounding Britain's departure from the European Union.

They also wanted to show solidarity with protesters who returned to the streets of Paris again Saturday.
