Over 2,000 Occupy Westminster Bridge in U.K. to Protest Planned Cuts, Privatization 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Britain, more than 2,000 people staged a sit-down protest on the
Westminster Bridge Sunday to protest planned cuts and privatization at
the National Health Service. The protest was organized by health workers
and the group, U.K. Uncut. Protesters held a "general assembly" in the
middle of the bridge, similar to those organized by protesters on Wall
Street in New York City.
