This is the second demonstration that has taken place in London in the last few months against the planned privatisation of the NHS. On the 9th of March a 'Day X for the NHS' saw over 500 people demonstrating from the Royal London Hospital to St Bartholomew's Hospital, the oldest hospital in the country [See photos here and here] On that evening, as the march was passing the City, unrepentant Deutsche Bank workers waved money from the windows whilst heckling the demosntarionss with 'get a job'.
