UK: Farmers to protest and march in central London Dec. 11

Organized farmers with Save British Farming from across the UK plan to stage a protest and a march through central London from 10:00 Dec. 11. The event will reportedly start at Whitehall and proceed to Parliament Square before circling down Millbank Street, turning back to Parliament Square from B323 and Victoria Street. Organizers of the march plan to bring tractors to the march. The purpose of the protest is to demand a decrease of taxation for farmers and inherited farming assets. Several thousand participants are likely to attend the event.

Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Localized road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites and march route. Limited confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be excluded.
