Bruce Kent’s embassy demo

Veteran peace campaigner Bruce Kent led a protest voicing support for the NHS as debate continues in the US on healthcare reform.

A group of about 50 waved banners outside the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square saying "Go for it America — Our National Health Service is a blessing for all".

Mr Kent, right, says the NHS saved his life in 2001 when he had prostate cancer. He said: "The NHS is being badly abused in the US, on utterly unreasonable grounds."
