At least 22 people have today been arrested after anti-lockdown protesters clashed with police when hundreds took to the streets in an ongoing fight against coronavirus restrictions.
Rallies were held in Bournemouth, London and Liverpool, where a growing crowd chanted ‘freedom’ as they marched through the city centre in the rain this afternoon.

The group in Merseyside were shepherded by police, who later moved in to make arrests, with some demonstrators seen being pepper sprayed as they grappled with officers on the ground.
It is thought that the protest began at 1pm and started with around 100 people gathered on Church Street before the group grew significantly in size.
At least 13 people were arrested during the demonstration in Liverpool, Merseyside Police confirmed.
Among those detained was a 36-year-old man from Kirkby, who was arrested on suspicion of assault of an emergency worker after an officer was pushed to the chest on Church Street.
Rallies were also held in London, where the Metropolitan Police confirmed four were arrested for breach of Covid-19 regulations after gathering at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park.
Officers confirmed those detained remained in custody this afternoon while the ‘remainder of the crowd have been dispersed’.
Michael Walsh, of the Central West Command Unit, said: ‘We take reports of breaches of Covid-19 restrictions seriously. We are still in a pandemic and it is extremely selfish of a small minority of people to carry on without regard for the regulations.’
There were similar scenes on the south coast, with social distancing nowhere to be seen as activists marched through the seaside town of Bournemouth, holding placards reading ‘freedom’ and ‘the pandemic is over’.
Dorset Police confirmed two men were arrested on suspicion of breaching Covid-19 regulations amid the demonstration. Officers added the crowd of around 100 people was dispersed at The Square at 2.45pm, two hours after the rally began.
It comes as Britain today recorded 391 new hospital deaths in the highest Saturday increase since May – up 21 since last Saturday.
One thing clearly noticeable is the cops aren’t dressed in riot gear as they so often are. This suggests the government isn’t as confident about its position as it would have us believe, and so doesn’t want riot police to inflame the situation. Riot gear reinforces impressions of a police state, and they know the crowds aren’t all working-class strikers and a few eco-lefties. For those crowds they let the police crack a few heads.
What we have here even if we don’t see it, is people from every walk of life including Tory voters. Most people who put in the work and invest or borrow money to run their own business don’t remain working class for long, so as businesses fail the numbers of middle-class protesters will certainly increase.
Yes Sirree, the police are very good at these kind of things. Crime solving however is their weak point, but assaulting and pepper spraying the normally law abiding civilian population, world wide, they excel at that. Like politics, the police force seems to attract those who feel special, those picked on at school for acting special, know it alls who seem to have difficulty with reasoned thought.
HOWEVER, they’re not all bad, some do a good job, and I would suggest that these guys distance themselves from these arseholes, as if it keeps going, I suspect that there will be retributions.
Any cop who is willing to police a police state who then has to live in that police state (with his family) is beyond moronic.
All Victorian Australians should know that these cops are their enemy. As is any locksmith or plumber who does work on their premises. They have squandered the last vestiges of goodwill they had with the public, who see them for what they are: contemptible corporate cretins. All for Danno the Marrano, skulking behind them with his free-mason goyim prod.
Let them lie in their piss.
Just say “No, Hell no!” to (((central banking elites))) mRNA/nanoHydrogel “vaccines”.
Almost nobody is dying in any country.
The PCR tests are ALL false positives for RNA and DNA debris found in all nasal mucosa, and the polymerase chain reaction is run 35 – 45 cycles, giving almost anyone tested a positive result. More tests = more cases.
The so called Covid-19 virus genome has NEVER been isolated.
This “pandemic” with global lockdown and the mandatory “vaccines” is a 100% hoax.
Tyranny through gradualism.
First social distancing optional, then social distancing recommended, finally social distancing mandated.
First masks optional, then masks recommended, finally masks mandated.
First testing optional, then testing recommended, finally testing mandated.
First “vaccinations” optional, then “vaccinations” recommended, finally “vaccinations” mandated.
The Portugese supreme court found PCR testing of “Covid-19” unreliable and thereby outlawed all measures based on the unscientific test results.
The (((central banking elites))) are boiling frogs so to speak around the world.
Hop out of the pot before you and your family die.
Seriously.
Absolute minimum: Say “No, Hell no!” to mandatory mRNA/nanoHydrogel “vaccines”.
Peace and love
