Thousands of people are expected to gather in central London on Saturday afternoon for an anti-lockdown protest, as police said they could again take action to disperse crowds if coronavirus regulations were not followed.
With anger brewing at the perceived unfairness of local lockdowns and increasing disagreement over the effectiveness of restrictions and the science of the pandemic, people are expected to travel from across the country to attend the capital’s fourth mass protest against the government’s coronavirus measures.
