@thetimes: The Green Party has urged people “inspired by the protests in France” to join a demonstration in London. Violence and mass looting gripped French cities over the weekend, bringing the worst civil unrest in years. About 2,400 people have been arrested and hundreds injured after rioters clashed with police, stormed public buildings and set a historic city hall on fire. On Sunday the Hackney Greens shared a post encouraging those “inspired” by the scenes to join a march against austerity planned for next week. Florence Schechter, a Green councillor and cabinet member at Hackney council, urged activists to follow the French example at the March against Austerity, which will take place in central London next Tuesday #green #politics #riot #france #hackney
