Remember all the fuss about protests supposedly being banned, yet London is still one giant protest every week.

They missed a trick not doing a cover version with Jim for charity!

They're too late. The dinosaurs got there first and placed their flag to claim it.

Side note. They missed out on the artistic talent didn't they. I think a toddler group could come up with a better designed flyer.

Sorry but whether you agree with the march today or not I seriously can’t believe there are posters on this thread who are saying “we aren’t in lockdown anymore, what freedoms don’t we currently have?, the restrictions are lifted, it’s almost like normal” having restrictions on where you can travel abroad, mask wearing, legal limits on how many people you can have in your own home, businesses not able to operate at full capacity so unable to turn a profit, being legally forced to isolate for 10 days just because you may have come into contact with someone with covid, the government having emergency powers to close schools and businesses whenever they feel like it, none of this is normal and is a huge erosion of freedoms. Just because you can go to the pub again or go shopping certainly doesn’t mean our freedoms have been returned!

It’s right that people are expressing their concerns they aren’t conspiracy theorists or anti vaxers there are some people who are genuinely concerned about what is happening and the level of control the government/ unelected scientists have at the moment.

Grin Someone should do that! It could raise money for the Covax scheme?

Sorry I was wrong. It was elephants, not dinosaurs.

Just personal opinion but I think the elephants are a more attractive group. They're very well turned out.

Parker231 · 29/05/2021 18:55

The current restrictions in place mirror the position we are with managing the virus. I don’t see this as an erosion of our freedoms. There is no alternative until the latest variant is monitored and more people get vaccinated.

vera99 · 29/05/2021 18:58

Here they are they are lucky to live in a tolerant democracy.I would like to give them a good smacking.

Tealightsandd · 29/05/2021 18:58

We have never had complete freedom. There are many things people want to do that are banned and against the law.

And sometimes one persons wants clash with someone else's needs.

Pieceofpurplesky · 29/05/2021 18:59

There are some corkers out there ...

Freedom march today.
Tealightsandd · 29/05/2021 19:00

I wonder if they would support your freedom to do that?
