Blackpool Gazette

These were the scenes as protesters moved from the Metropole Hotel up to St John's Square in Blackpool.  One member of the public tells Lucinda Herbert that he is hoping the protest is peaceful, as he tries to get home through the blocked-off promenade.   The demonstration moved up to St John's Square, where the annual Rebellion Punk Festival was also taking place.

00:00I like everybody, black or white. However, if you have a leaking roof, you don't mop

00:17the floor all the time. What you do is just stop the benefits, give them trillions of

00:21pounds and help them in their own country. And that is my opinion. Good luck to them

00:26and I wish them all the best. Are you here for a peaceful protest? Absolutely. I'm trying

00:32to go home. I'm just walking. Where's home for you? I can't get through so I need to

00:40go walk somewhere else. Have a good day and I hope it's a peaceful day. Thank you.
