Anti-lockdown protest in London ends with 12 arrests

Police arrested twelve anti-lockdown protesters in south London earlier Saturday.

Although gathering to protest against the lockdown regulations is against the rules, it is thought that around 30 people attended the protest in Clapham Common yesterday.

Officers attended the scene of several chanting and shouting individuals who were not wearing masks nor socially distanced, reports suggest.

The event was live-streamed on YouTube where protesters continued to call the police "fascists" and said they were exercising their freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

This comes as England enters it's third national lockdown and other areas of the UK are currently under similar lockdown restrictions.
