Thousands of Brits have descended on London in protest against lockdown restrictions.

Demonstrations have been organized by groups including 'Take a Stand London', 'Save our Rights' and 'The Great Reopening'.

The groups gathered in Westminster, London, where Omicron cases are soaring - with seven people who have now died from the variant.

Police officers are said to have suffered "minor injuries" during "scuffles" in the protests.

The demos come as London Mayor Sadiq Khan declared a major incident in the capital this afternoon due to the rapid spread of the Covid.

The UK's eight worst Covid hotspots are now in London, where the variant has become the dominant strain, causing the overall cases to double in just a week.

The protest is bolstered by an umbrella movement called the "Together Declaration", with 170,000 signatures including business, religious and campaign leaders, as well as MPs.

The movement campaigns against mandatory vaccinations as well as an end to vaccine passports and mass testing.

Together Declaration also argues mandating NHS staff to be double-jabbed is “completely immoral”.

The group says: “Implementing vaccine mandates for NHS front line staff will significantly impact patient care.

"The NHS is already understaffed and many of those front line staff worked tirelessly through the last 20 months under intense pressure. To treat them in this way is completely immoral.

“Our next campaign aims to support NHS staff in opposing mandatory covid vaccines with legal and practical advice and also to support employees in other industries as vaccine mandates may be imposed on other sectors.

“In Europe and the US, vaccine mandates have been implemented for public and private sector organizations resulting in huge job losses, and we must not let that happen in the UK.

“Once this dangerous precedent has been set, it can be expanded at will.”

Police officers were injured while attempting to escort a police motorcyclist through the area at around 12.30 pm, the Met said in a statement.

Video footage from the protest posted on social media shows protesters shouting abuse at officers and throwing flares in their direction.

Later at around 3 pm, a group of protesters stopped outside a shop on Regents Street, police said.

They began "directing abuse" at people inside and egging the shop until police intervened, ending the incident. No injuries were reported

Officers are said to be "closely monitoring" the demonstration.

The Met added that no arrests have been made.

London has seen 65,525 new confirmed Covid cases in the past seven days, and 26,418 cases reported in the last 24 hour period alone – the highest number since the start of the pandemic.

Declaring the major incident, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “The surge in cases of the Omicron variant across our capital is hugely concerning, so we are once again declaring a major incident because of the threat of COVID-19 to our city.

“The Omicron variant has quickly become dominant with cases increasing rapidly and the number of patients in our hospitals with COVID-19 on the rise again.

"We are already feeling the impact across the capital and while we are still learning about this variant, it’s right that London’s key agencies work closely together to minimize the impact on our city, including helping to protect the vital vaccination program.

“We know that the vaccine offers our best defense against the virus. There are now more clinics in London delivering vaccines than at any point during the pandemic.

"I urge all Londoners to book their appointment or to go to one of the many walk-in centers across the capital as soon as you can.”

Back in January 2021, Khan took the same decision as the rapid spread of the virus and the increase of Covid cases in hospitals were putting the NHS at risk of being overwhelmed.

Georgia Gould, Chair of London Councils, said: “The rapid spread of Omicron across our city is of huge concern.

"Local councils have stepped up and played a vital role in supporting their communities through the pandemic, I know they will continue with these efforts but we cannot do this alone.

"Vaccines offer the best protection against the virus and now more than ever it’s important that Londoners take up the offer to get a booster as soon as possible.

"If you’ve not had your first and second dose yet, please do come forward and protect yourselves and others around you. Together we must do all we can to defeat this virus.”

WHO and WHAT is behind it all ? : >

The bottom line is for the people to regain their original, moral principles, which have intentionally been watered out over the past generations by our press, TV, and other media owned by the Illuminati/Bilderberger Group, corrupting our morals by making misbehavior acceptable to our society. Only in this way shall we conquer this oncoming wave of evil.
