Today's the biggest day yet for the UK QAnon movement. 15 "Save Our Children" rallies were held in London, Birmingham, Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Bristol, Dundee, Glasgow, Halifax, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle and Newport. Over 20 UK towns/cities have now had one of these rallies
The London one began early. They marched from Hyde Park towards Buckingham Palace and then Trafalgar Square. Once again, most of the people attending were women. The numbers were definitely smaller compared to the last two marches, probably because it was early in the morning
The London "Save Our Children" crowd then joined the bigger march against Covid-19 restrictions at Trafalgar Square, which was attended by hundreds. Kate Shemirani and Mark Steele (and a few others) spoke at the rally
Here's the one in Birmingham. Doesn't seem like it was attended by anything more than a few dozen people. Note the #WWG1WGA sign on the banner behind the lady speaking
Save Our Children gatherings in Newport and Manchester today. Once again, a few doezn seem to have attended. Interestingly, one person attending the Leeds rally was asking people whether they should avoid "the adrenochrome/pizzagate stuff" on their banners and signs
A video from the Glasgow rally. Glasgow is one of the cities that has hosted every single Save Our Children rally that's been scheduled there since August. If you saw one of these rallies in your town or city today, please send me a DM or email (in my bio)
For those who have not been following the UK QAnon movement, it was established in July off the back of a similar movement in the US. Two major series of nationwide rallies have so far been held, this is the third one. Q UK Facebook groups now have tens of thousands of members
Seems like the Newcastle rally was cancelled today because the organiser(s) did not turn up. All the other marches seem to have gone ahead as planned
Apparently these two ladies were the only ones who turned up at Newcastle, h/t @gkersplunkski
Looking at their banner, all the famous QAnon slogans are there: Adrenochrome, pizzagate, WWG1WGA, the alleged child abuse symbol, etc. One of the ladies is also wearing a Q shirt

BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes".
Satellite imagery by @planet shows at least five buildings with visible craters and black scorch marks in the area.
"[It] seems it was intentional to hit the area," a satellite analyst said, adding: "But we don't know what they intended to strike."
@planet Two videos filmed in the immediate aftermath of the attack show multiple plumes of smoke within an IRGC base and medical clinic near the school, as well as the school's top floor.
The location of smoke plumes in videos correspond to visible damage in satellite imagery.
THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 28 February
This video, viewed over five million times, claims to show Iranian ballisitic missiles over Dubai.
But the clip is old. It was filmed in October 2024, showing Iranian missiles fired towards Tel Aviv at the time.
This viral video, viewed 4.5 million times, claims to show a location on fire in Saudi Arabia during the exchange of fire between Iran, Israel and the US.
But the video is from July 2024, and shows Israeli strikes on Yemen's Hudaydah port.
This video, viewed over a million times, claims to show a building in Tel Aviv on fire after Iranian strikes.
In reality, it dates back to October 2024 and shows a building on Korkidi Street in Tel Aviv engulfed in flames.
