Thousands of bikers to protest in London against soldier's Bloody Sunday prosecution

Thousands of bikers will gather in London next week to protest against the prosecution of a British soldier over Bloody Sunday.
'Soldier F' is to be charged with murdering two people after troops opened fire on civil rights demonstrators in Derry in 1972.
The organiser of the 'Rolling Thunder' event, Harry Wragg, said the British government should not have allowed the prosecution.
"Our ride is not directed at the victims, it is directed at the British Government," he said.
"Our argument is with the Government, not the victims of Bloody Sunday or any other event."
He added: "Where are they pulling the evidence from, why are the British Government allowing this to happen?"

Participants in the demonstration on Friday April 12 are due to travel from across the UK, including the Lake District and Wales.
Mr Wragg said: "The plan is, we ride through with 4,000 motorcyclists.
"That is rolling thunder."
They had planned to travel to Westminster but that date coincides with the new no-deal Brexit date.
It is uncertain whether they will be allowed to proceed to Parliament, the organiser said.
Plans for a separate motorcycle ride in east Belfast on April 12 in support of Soldier F had been lodged with the Parades Commission but have since been withdrawn.
Supporters of the British army’s Parachute Regiment have also organised a “mass rally” in Belfast next month.
The ‘Paras Fight Back’ rally is expected to take place outside Belfast City Hall on April 27.
Thirteen civil rights demonstrators were shot dead on Bloody Sunday on January 30 1972, on one of the most notorious days of the Troubles.
Soldier F will face charges for the murders of James Wray and William McKinney and the attempted murders of Joseph Friel, Michael Quinn, Joe Mahon and Patrick O'Donnell, the Public Prosecution Service has said.
