WATCH: Laurence Fox joins thousands protesting in London this weekend

Leader of the Reclaim Party, Laurence Fox

Laurence Fox has joined thousands at protests scheduled for this weekend in London.

Anti-lockdown protesters, anti-austerity activists and environmental campaigners have all planned protests across the capital for the whole weekend.

Speaking to talkRadio, Fox said: “We have had our liberties taken away from us.

“The government don’t even obey their own rules. We are stuck here watching Matt Hancock fondling some young lassie while you’re not allowed to hug your mum and dad.

“We are here to demand a full, final and permanent return of our liberty. That’s why we are here and we are not gonna stop until we get it back.”

Reactions

James Melville said: “Hundreds of thousands of people are marching to reclaim normal life and when even Matt Hancock doesn’t play by the rules, it’s time to say #EnoughIsEnough”

And talkRADIO presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer has also joined the protest, and posted photos showing crowds not socially distancing and not wearing masks, with the hashtags #freedommarch #imdone.

Extinction Rebellion UK tweeted: “Four crooks control our press and spread lies and division. We’re here to sound the alarm and tell the truth.

“Politics is broken. A tiny clique of corrupt politicians are destroying our society. Time for Citizens Assemblies to get us out of this mess. #londonprotest #NotFitToGovern”
