On ‘freedom day’ there were anti-lockdown protests in central London, which left many confused.
Fast forward to Saturday and there were even more protestors, this time at Trafalgar Square. It was called the “World Wide Rally for Freedom”, which they claimed would take place in more than 180 cities across the globe.
Similar demonstrations were held in Belfast, Birmingham, Manchester, and Dublin. In France the police used water-canons to disperse the crowds.
Back in London a woman, understood to be conspiracy theorist Kate Shemirani, stood on the steps of Trafalgar Square to speak to the protestors.
As you would expect David Icke, Gillian McKeith and Piers Corbyn were also among the speakers.
Shemirani is an ex-health worker who was struck off the nursing register last month for denying the existence of Covid.
In her speech, the mother-of-four turned against members of her former profession, comparing NHS staff to those in Nazi Germany who were hung for their crimes.
She told the angry crowd: “Ask those that are giving [the Covid vaccine], has there been any deaths?
“Ask them what is in it. Ask them, get their names, you email them to me… with a group of lawyers we are collating all that.
“At the Nuremberg trials, the doctors and nurses stood trial and they hung.”
Many in the crowd whistled and cheered, she added: “If you are a doctor or a nurse, now is the time to get off that bus, get off and stand with us, the people.”
The hashtag “#gotyourbackNHS” was one of the platform’s top trends on Saturday evening and Sunday morning after ICU doctor Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden tweeted:
