Protesters at a central London anti-lockdown rally scuffled with the police on Saturday as officers tried to break up the demonstration because it had failed to follow social distancing rules.
Chanting “Freedom” and carrying banners saying “We Do Not Consent” and “COVID 1984”, thousands of people had crammed into Trafalgar Square to protest against the coronavirus pandemic restrictions.The police, who said some officers had been hurt, ordered the protest to disperse because demonstrators had failed to socially distance or wear masks, meaning it was no longer exempt from the national rules that limit gatherings to six people.
“We want to be clear, this protest is no longer exempt from the regulations,’’ the Metropolitan Police said on Twitter.“Sadly, some officers have been injured while engaging with people.’’Saturday’s demonstration followed a similar event last weekend when 32 people were arrested for offences, including violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker.
Oh yes, a picture of police officers from 2005.
