People of faith have been on the streets of London over the weekend, as an act of prophecy against the greatest attack on the vulnerable in society for the last 50 years, says David Haslam. Those from many different belief backgrounds, including Christians, joined the 'March for the Alternative' - for good spiritual and theological reasons.

Protesters, police, reporters and commentators are in disagreement about claims and counterclaims over violent clashes in central London last night.

Thousands of Christians have joined with people of many religions and of none to demonstrate their opposition to the UK government's cuts agenda.

A new YouGov poll published on 26 March 2011 shows the majority of people in the UK back the aims of the huge March for the Alternative.
