Thousands of people gathered on London's Trafalgar Square to protest against COVID-19 regulations which they feel are attacking their freedoms. Majority of the protesters believe that COVID-19 either doesn't exist at all, or it is manmade or it is caused by 5G networks. Many also oppose vaccination and believe in a conspiracy seeing mankind as controlled via chips operated into bodies. Police let the protest go on despite government regulations requiring social distancing and curbing number of people allowed to meet to six. But after few hours officers and riot squad charged in to confiscate the PA system and caused aggravation amongs the protesters. Large group then marched to Hyde Park, where more fights and arrests took place.
