Pensioner's naked protest

Pensioners stage a naked protest

WORKERS who lost their pensions when firms went bust stripped off outside the Labour Party conference to highlight their "naked desperation".

The men stripped down to their underwear and staged a noisy demonstration.

It was the fourth year that members of the Pensions Action Group protested, saying the government had a "callous disregard" for their campaign.

Meanwhile, in nearby St Peter's Square, around 50 peace protesters, including members of CND, were heavily outnumbered by police, who made two arrests.
