Thousands of anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine<\/a> protesters gathered in central London<\/a> for a “Worldwide rally for freedom” – five days after restrictions were lifted in England.<\/p>\n

Conspiracy theorists David Icke, Gillian McKeith<\/a> and Piers Corbyn<\/a>, the brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, were among the speakers at the demonstration in Trafalgar Square.<\/p>\n

The event also attracted far-right commentator Katie Hopkins<\/a>, who was deported from Australia earlier this week after boasting about her intention to break quarantine rules.<\/p>\n

During his speech from the main stage, Mr Corbyn attempted to lead the crowd in a chant telling the government to “Ping Off” – a reference to the NHS app’s notifications to users to self-isolate.<\/p>\n

A former nurse also urged her supporters to take down the names of medical staff.<\/p>\n

Kate Shemirani, who was struck off by the Nursing and Midwifery Council last month for spreading Covid misinformation, said: \u201cGet their names. Email them to me. With a group of lawyers, we are collecting all that. At the Nuremburg Trials the doctors and nurses stood trial and they hung. If you are a doctor or a nurse, now is the time to get off that bus… and stand with us the people.”<\/p>\n

London major Sadiq Khan described her comments as \u201cutterly appalling\u201d. He tweeted: \u201cI have raised it directly with the Met Police. Our NHS staff are the heroes of this pandemic and Londoners from across this city roundly reject this hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the rally, protesters marched from Trafalgar Square along Whitehall to Parliament Square.<\/p>\n
