Thousands of demonstrators marched through London’s streets on Saturday in protest of
CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus restrictions and “vaccine passports.”
Demonstrators gathered at Parliament Square before moving through areas in central London including Oxford Street, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, and Hyde Park. The protest was largely peaceful but police said that “a small minority” of protestors threw objects at officers and a group of demonstrators briefly occupied Westfield Shopping Centre.
The “United For Freedom” March on Saturday was bigger than the previous protests against pandemic restrictions. Many have travelled from outside of London, with one group telling NTD News that they left home at 3 a.m. to join the rally.

Demonstrators chanted slogans such as “freedom” and “stand up” as they walked through central London for hours on end. Their placards ranged from “no to vaccine passports” and “our children deserve a future,” to “experimental COVID ‘vaccines’ kill” and “resist the great reset.”
“All the people here don’t necessarily say the COVID doesn’t exist. I know it exists,” a protester named Donna told NTD, referring to the disease caused by the virus. “I just don’t believe or agree with what the government is doing.”
Donna disagrees with the measures used to fight the pandemic, such as restrictive lockdowns and the rolling out of vaccines she believes haven’t been sufficiently tested.
Heritage Party leader and former London mayoral candidate David Kurten told NTD that in his opinion, the government didn’t have the right to impose lockdowns.
