Following yesterday’s massive anti-lockdown protests in Central London the Police have now issued a statement.
Gold Commander of the operation, Chief Superintendent Karen Findlay said: “There were a number of demonstrations throughout London today all of which have now come to a conclusion.
“Officers have been proactive throughout the week in the lead in to today’s events to engage, and this has continued throughout the course of today with both protest organisers, demonstrators and local communities to minimise disruption to Londoners.
“The significant majority of those protesting today engaged in a positive manner with our officers.
“We did experience small pockets of antisocial behaviour in Whitehall which involved missiles being thrown at officers, but these were dealt with quickly and effectively.
“Three arrests were made in total for breach of the peace, assault on police and an individual being wanted for a previous assault.
“Three officers received minor injuries through the course of the day but all remain fit and well. I am grateful to the command team, all our officers and those who attended to protest in central London for achieving a positive outcome”.
There has been considerable criticism of the mainstream media for highlighting the protests as a ‘wide variety’ of demonstrations when in fact the vast bulk of attendees were demonstrating against lockdowns.
