Britain, Spain amid several EU countries’ people march in G20 protests

LONDON: Tens of thousands of people in several European countries including Britain and Spain took to the streets in their capital cities ahead of Thursday G20 summit to express their anger at the human cost of the financial crisis. Demonstrators also marched in other European capitals as politicians appealed for calm during Thursday's Group of 20 gathering in London, due to be attended by world leaders including US President Barack Obama. The protesters waved banners with slogans such as "We won't pay for the crisis," "Plan it with the planet in mind" and "Capitalism always leads to death." One anti-capitalism group marched behind the head of a devil plastered with dollar bills.
