Round 2 of Covid-19, not as if the NHS are over worked or anything

These are not peaceful protests, just have a look at the pictures, mostly whites, all tree hugging shit c**ts.time to get the water cannon out.

Did any march for Lee Rigby ?

Why don’t you mention the attacks on the police that absolutely soiled the meaning of this so called protest

Democracy couldn't Denounce Races down and freedom

But you do not mention, that they were not peaceful or that it was illegal.

absolutely shocking, complete disregard for the vulnerable and the NHS, not to mention the violence seen against the key workers as the day progressed!

Debilism😨

So let's get this straight...I don't need to say I'm driving to a castle and testing my eyes to go out anymore?

10,000 lemmings can't all be wrong.

Good for Social Distancing....... WELCOME SPIKE No.1 :(

Yes the nhs as been forgotten by these people same old...🥊

Any labour MPs that called for Cummings to be sacked Gonna say all these here should be sacked too. Not essential trip. No 2 metre social distancing. The issue is paramount to society improving - but covid spreading equal no society for anyone.

2nd wave en route due to these idiots not socially distancing! Obviously not very bright are they.

The Social Distancing is clearly yesterday's News. 10 days was it?

To achieve what exactly other than to give the middle finger to all the work the NHS has done and selfishly take a virus back home to their families. Every single person there is a pathetic attention seeking idiot including those celebs desperate for a mention in the press.

Nothing to do with the UK. bandwagon

Who knew mass gatherings cured Covid. 🤷‍♂️

Covid-19. Welcome back

I despair.
