Thousands attend anti-lockdown protest with more planned this weekend
Evening Standard/UK, Jun 26, 2021

Thousands of people descended on London’s Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon in the latest round of protests against Covid lockdown measures.

The crowds marched through Oxford Street before gathering at Hyde Park while holding banners, placards and flags.

Demonstrators also made their way to Downing Street, with crowds setting off flares and chanting loudly with people heard shouting "shame on you" and pointing towards Number 10, followed by prolonged booing.

Shirley Jones, a librarian from Crystal Palace, said: "I'd rather be doing something else with my weekend but I'm going to keep coming on these protests because I don't trust what the Government is doing.

"I don't believe in wearing masks and I don't believe in the vaccine, especially given my Caribbean heritage and the history of slavery.

London In Revolt: Brits Take to the Streets by the Tens of Thousands to Protest Latest Lockdowns



On Saturday the citizens of London came out in full force to protest COVID lockdowns, in the face of a new variant that may be making its way across Europe.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under fire after delaying his nation’s full reopening. So-called ‘Freedom Day’ had been scheduled for June 21st, but Johnson retracted the date just days before, saying the Delta variant that has been ripping across other parts of the globe may become a threat — if the island nation were to let down its guard too soon.

Brits anxiously awaiting the ability to resume business were understandably upset, but received yet another slap in the face when a high-level official was caught in his very own “French Laundry” type scandal.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been a huge proponent of draconian lockdowns. The UK has been much more strict about lockdown enforcement than American officials are allowed to be in a constitutional republic. British citizens have not even been allowed to visit friends or family, with Hancock regularly delivering lectures about the irresponsibility of leaving home to socialize, as the country continues to battle COVID. But the final straw came for many when Hancock was caught visiting with and smooching his married mistress, in a clear violation of his own COVID restrictions.
