- Story Text:Around 120 anti-racism campaigners demonstrated outside the US embassy in London on Wednesday night (November 9) in protest at the surprise election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States.
Chanting "hey ho, Donald Trump has got to go" they waved placards reading "No to racism. No to Trump" and depicting the president-elect as Hitler.
"He has achieved one thing though, he's put somebody dumber than George Bush in the White House and that is himself," one of the organisers from Say No To Racism told the crowd.
Another speaker urged Londoners to stand in solidarity with those in America campaigning against Trump's pledge to build a wall between the US and Mexico and to ban Muslims from entering the States. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
