Parliament Square protesters clash with police on Bonfire Night

"Hundreds of anti-establishment activists have clashed with police in central London on Bonfire Night.

Eight officers were injured and 12 people arrested on Friday, the Metropolitan Police said.

Protesters wearing Guy Fawkes-style masks gathered at Trafalgar Square, with some throwing fireworks at police."

And

"Many of the demonstrators held signs protesting against the coronavirus lockdown, while some were seen setting off fireworks and using laser pointers.

One, who gave his name only as Richard, from London, said the protest, which has taken place on 5 November for several years, was a "continuation" of the "anti-Covid" marches.

"It's basically a continuation of the anti-Covid marches that we've been on since the beginning of the year," he said."."



Ah, anti-covid too. What a surprise. At least some of them were wearing masks but probably not for covid reasons. Wonder if they carry some form of disclaimer, making clear that they are not wearing masks for covid reasons.
