Two huge demonstrations have taken place against government money-saving plans.

Over 20 thousand off-duty police officers - including 200 from Dorset - have marched through London in protest against proposed 20 percent cuts.

The local Police Federation claims 300 officers could go here - impacting on public safety.

Meanwhile - services including airports, courts, and the NHS have been hit by strikes by public sector workers over pension reforms.

The coordinated walkouts are taking place across the country with workers also protesting in the capital.
