Signs reading ‘leave our DNA alone’, ‘unity is freedom’ and ‘it’s not a pandemic, it’s an IQ test’ were among the most noticeable of many being held aloft by protestors.
‘Hang Traitors’ read a sign held by a woman wearing a tank top reading ‘conspiracy realist’ while another sign compared the government to that of Nazi Germany.
According to Metro, reasons for protesting varied amongst those present. Some were there to protest Covid-related fines, others the vaccine and some were calling for the arrest of Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The crowd reportedly shouted “shame on police” and “arrest Boris” as authorities arrived. One angry protestor even demanded to be let into Parliament as paying taxes make it his land to enter into.
