In total 11 arrests were made, according to reports.
Footage of the protests was even censored from social media, prompting one outlet to suggest that the ‘conspiracy theorists might be right’.

In addition, the government indicated that the system would be expanded to apply not only to venues, but in workplaces, including offices.
The London protests follow similar scenes in France and Greece, where the government have announced plans to exclude the unvaccinated from society.
French President Emmanuel Macron has been forced to back down on imposing mandatory vaccine passports for entry to shopping malls after several volatile nationwide protests.
As we previously noted, while the UK government has claimed to have lifted restrictions, the use of masks and social distancing continues, as does government tracking and forced quarantines, along with the aforementioned introduction of vaccine passports.
It’s the complete antithesis of freedom.
