Protests over the American anti-Islam film that has sparked chaos across the Muslim world continued in London yesterday as thousands of demonstrators marched on the offices of Google. More than 3,500 British Muslims, some from as far afield as Glasgow, waved banners and chanted slogans outside the search engine’s UK headquarters to demand the company removes the film from the internet.

A spokesman for the company said: ‘We work hard to create a community everyone can enjoy and which also enables people to express different opinions.
