"Thousands gather in London for ‘Unite for Freedom’ rally, demanding ‘back to normal now’"

"Crowds of lockdown-weary Brits gathered in London at a ‘Unite for Freedom’ rally to protest the Covid-19 measures, an event quickly dubbed a gathering of 'conspiracy loons' for its strong message against restrictions and mandates.

People began gathering in London’s Trafalgar Square around noon and then marched to the Houses of Parliament to show opposition to the ongoing shutdowns, introduced as part of the UK’s response to the pandemic.

The rally, called under the slogans of 'No More Lockdowns – No Social Distancing – No Masks,' among others, attracted more than 10,000 people aghast at the looming prospect of another lockdown being introduced, as talk of pandemic’s 'second wave' dominates the media.

Footage showed demonstrators, many of whom did not wear masks, holding signs saying... 'Covid-1984,' while others outright blasted the virus as a 'hoax.'

Even Britain’s deputy chief medical officer said this week that evidence that masks protect from Covid-19 is 'not very strong,' despite the mandates in place.

A similar protest in Berlin was disbanded by police on Saturday after they deemed demonstrators were failing to adhere to social distancing measures. Around 3,000 officers were deployed to police the crowd of 18,000."
