Tens of thousands protest in London over cuts

LONDON — Tens of thousands of Britons are expected to protest against the coalition government's austerity measures on Saturday in the biggest demonstration in the capital since the Iraq War in 2003.
Union leaders say more than 200,000 people could join the demonstration, angry at deep public spending cuts, rising unemployment, tax rises and pension reforms against a backdrop of falling or frozen wages and higher prices.
The Conservative-led government is pushing ahead with a tough debt-reduction program to virtually eliminate a budget deficit, currently running at about 10 percent of GDP, by 2015 in order to protect Britain's triple-A credit rating.
However, unions argue the measures go too far, too fast and are both economically unsound — putting future growth at risk — and are also causing misery to millions of ordinary Britons, with unemployment at its highest level since 1994.
