⁍ More than a thousand people gathered in central London on Saturday to protest against lockdown measures.
⁍ Demonstrators carried banners saying ‘Covid is a hoax’ and ‘My body, my choice: No to mandatory masks’
Police said protesters were ordered to leave Trafalgar Square on the grounds that the demonstration was putting those taking part and other members of the public at risk.
– At least 32 people were arrested in London yesterday after an anti-locksdown protest turned violent, Reuters reports. More than 1,000 people gathered in Trafalgar Square to protest against the “Covid” virus, which has killed more than 41,000 people in Europe so far. The protesters chanted, “Choose your side,” and carried signs that said, “Covid is a hoax,” “My body, my choice: No to mandatory masks,” and “Covid is a hoax.” Police broke up the protest by telling protesters to leave, citing “pockets of hostility and outbreaks of violence towards officers.” Protesters had been told they couldn’t gather in groups of more than six people.
