A man protesting against rising living costs has suspended himself upside down in central London.

Security worker Herbert Crossman, from Harrow, north-west London, hung from a crane for two hours in Trafalgar Square.

He was attached by the ankles to the crane with a bungee rope, reports the BBC.

Money fell from his pockets into buckets below. He said the money signified how British people are "haemorrhaging money".

Speaking about his protest he said: "Everything is going up - gas, electricity, the congestion charge, parking, petrol - everything.

"It's our money the government is spending and wasting, not their fat-cat salaries.

"If I was doing what they are in my business I'd be out of work by now."
