Anti Lockdown Demo.

[piggynose]

Isn´t this ugly?

[burlyshirley]

YES ! That man who tried to kick a police officer, I wonder if he's proud of himself today ?? The police were outnumbered with only a baton for protection. I don't know what else I can say really, except that the world has gone mad, but I've said that before ..

shoulda kept the water cannon.

Shame we can't dispatch them to Australia as in the 19thC - or we could consider S.Georgia - with Prince Andrew to be the Governor.

[bednobs]

If i didnt agree with a government policy, the last thing i'd do i go and kick the police. Honestly, sometimes i'm ashamed to be human!
Also - we are coming out of lockdown, so what exactly are they protesting about?

//Trouble flared after thousands of people marched through London to protest against continued coronavirus restrictions and the use of face masks.//

They're probably just professional agitators rather that protesting about anything in particular. However, if I was part of the protest, I would be protesting that 8,000 mainly unmasked people can go to a football match and hug and shout (plenty of pictures available) whereas only 30 people can attend a funeral service and have to sit six feet apart (also plenty of pictures available).

More than that police chiefs were negligent in that they allowed the event to be policed by officers with no riot gear. They did this, it seems, as they did not want them to appear "confrontational." That seemed to work well.

Those two women coppers stood behind the fence flapping their batons limply at thin air on 30 secs, are on the same money as the blokes, because we're all equal aren't we?

[youngmafbog]

What the copper wielding the baton at unarmed civilians?

The Police, due to their own actions, have totally lost the respect of the public and in particular these 'professional' agitators.

And given Johnson's continual lies, U-turns and collapsing of the economy for many I'm surprised there is not more violence as in other countries.

[anneasquith]

So many stupid people , it’s frightening.

[Ellipsis]

The very opposite of "Social Distancing" ... "Antisocial Gathering" ...

[emmie]

appalling, what are they protesting about, we are out of lockdown, soon we will be free of mask wearing, i am ashamed of my fellow countrymen and women lashing out at the police. No wonder that ordinary folk like me for one, don't go anywhere near the centre of London.

[naomi24]

They're not protesting. They're out to cause trouble. Should be ashamed of themselves... but they're not.

[Bobbisox1]

The lunatics are taking over the asylum ,the courts should be in session for the time it takes to charge them, if I have to abide by the rules, then so should they !

[ToraToraTora]

damn savages should be thrashed to within an inch of their worthless lives.

[ladybirder]

bluemoon1 just take a look at the link in EdmundD's post at 15.50!

is South Georgia ours? still

or is the answer - no - that is why I want to send all of them there
( ter daah !)

There are always a few 'thugs' who break out and attach to any demo.. The vast majority of these marchers were well-behaved as far as I can see. It certainly shows the strength of feeling against vaccine certification - and I'm pleased about that because it has been swept under the carpet. A shame that the appalling behaviour of the very few have grabbed the headlines.
