More than a thousand people gathered in central London on Saturday to protest against lockdown measures aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus, before the event was broken up by police.

The protest, which led to 32 arrests, came as Prime Minister Boris Johnson is considering whether to reimpose some lockdown restrictions across England.

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. Under laws introduced to slow the spread of infection, people in England are not allowed to gather in groups of more than six. There are exemptions for political protests, but only if organisers follow guidelines to reduce the risk of the disease spreading.Some of the protesters at Saturday’s event voiced opposition to compulsory vaccines, as well as more general mistrust of the government, the media and the World Health Organization.

ACAB 🐖

are the english so stupid? Worse than the Americans? You don't have to be a genius to understand that the virus must be stopped!

Great, now England.

The public still does not understand the gravity of the threat of coronavirus. Even with these lockdowns and masks, it could still go on to be just as bad as the Spanish Flu that killed tens of millions.

Surprise Surprise 💣💥💥💥💥💥💥🌚🖤

Destroying your economy ... That is what they want. The only ppl who've benefited are the wealthy. Ppl have lost everything they worked for while the few corporations have taken over.

People are frustrated with Lockdown, little do they know that every nation has implemented lockdown to break the chain of dreaded virus. A disease is not some instant noodles to get cooked in just few minutes.

Why clash. lockdownUK is to save people from COVID__19. Thanks to BorisJohnson .

In the states, it’s the opposite. Police protect the anti-maskers and racists

Ignorance is ignorant of its ignorance

So how many got locked up for protesting the lock down?
