It’s the last Saturday of the month, and that means the angry (and growing) crowd of Lockdown sceptics march on major cities to make their voices heard.

Protests are planned for cities all around the globe in what’s being called the “Worldwide Rally for Freedom”:

In France, over 175 events are planned all across the country:

France, already the country least-trusting of vaccines in Europe, and coming off over a year of Gilets Jaunes protests over the economy and civil rights, is reeling from Emmanuel Macron’s announcement that vaccination would be mandatory for healthcare workers, and vaccine passes would be required for most business and public areas.

Macron was forced to dial back his position somewhat following massive protests over Bastille Day weekend…

But that is unlikely to appease an angry country, where some hospital staff have already walked out and there is talk of large-scale strikes.

Yesterday, in Israel, protests outside the Prime Ministers residence were violently halted by Israeli security forces:


The protest was a response to a shocking speech made by the PM earlier that day, blaming the unvaccinated for putting “freedom and lives at risk”, and introducing what can only be described as official segregation:


Huge crowds took to the streets of Sydney in protest against the stay-at-home orders in place.

The biggest protest may well be in London, where Boris Johnson’s plan for “vaccine passes” doesn’t even include the “or a negative test” rider so common in other countries. Essentially making vaccines mandatory for any kind of normal life.

UPDATE: The original live stream of the protest in Trafalgar Square has been taken down and removed from YouTube. We’ve replace it with the recorded live stream of the Paris protest.

Many other cities all across the world have seen protests today.

In the UK:

France:

Italy:

Ireland:

Australia:

Finland:

Greece:

The Netherlands:
