Several thousand people gathered on London's Trafalgar Square to protest against the so called new normal which the crowd perceives as a society controlled by coronavirus restrictions which are attacking their freedoms. Majority of the protesters believe that COVID-19 either doesn't exist at all, or it is man-made 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. The crowd was joined by Britain's hard nationalists who were the first in line to face police that several times attempted to step in and enforce the coronavirus regulations. Officially, gatherings of groups of more than 6 are prohibited in the UK. At around 16:00 the police came in force and dispersed the crowd. Several protesters were reported injured.
