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

While Elon Musk recommends sending around X posts so people can "learn the truth", here's a thread of viral misinformation on X about Hurricane Milton.
Alex Jones baselessly claims hurricanes Milton and Helene were deliberately started by the US government as "weather weapons".
This post by one of X's most prominent conspiracy theorists, viewed 4.8 million times, suggests without any evidence that Hurricane Milton is a result of geo-engineering.
Conspiracy theorist Stew Peters claims Hurricane Milton was pre-planned to directly hit Tampa Bay, in a post viewed 4 million times.
Obviously, Hurricane Milton is not pre-planned. No-one can plan to create hurricanes.
A Russia-based disinformation network run by a former Florida cop has published a new fabricated story on a fake news website called "Seattle Tribune".
It baselessly claims Ukrainain President Zelensky has secretly purchased a Mercedes 770 used by Hitler. It's nonsense.
The story refers to this doctored picture of a Mercedes 770 near the presidential office in Kyiv, posted on Telegram.
But that Telegram channel has never posted the pic, and the Mercedes in it has been lifted from the image on the right. Note the same reflections on both cars.
As is often the case with the network of fake news websites posing as local news outlets run by Moscow-based John Mark Dougan, the "Seattle Tribune" website was set up only five days ago, specifically to post this fake story.
There's no record of such a news outlet in Seattle.
Immediately after the Southport attack, baseless rumours began spreading online.
The main source of rumours has been a report by an obscure US "news" website that falsely claims the suspect is an "asylum seeker" named "Ali Al-Shakati", who "arrived in the UK by boat last year".
Merseyside Police has confirmed that the suspect was born in Cardiff, and has yet to identify the 17-year-old.
The report also adds that the suspect was "on MI6 watch list", despite the fact that it is MI5, not MI6, that deals with domestic counter-terrorism cases.
The name "Ali Al-Shakati" has since been widely shared online in misleading posts viewed by millions.
Some other outlets, including Russia's RT news channel, have also reported this name, citing the US-based website.
Pro-Kremlin influencers claim the captain of the Dali ship is a Ukrainian.
But online records show a Ukrainian man was the Dali's captain from March to July 2016. The ship that hit the bridge reportedly had an all-Indian crew.
Claims by influencers such as Alex Jones and Andrew Tate that the Baltimore Bridge collapsed due to a "cyber-attack" have been viewed millions of times.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has said the early investigation points to an accident, with "no evidence of a terrorist attack".
This video, viewed 1.4 million times, claims to show evidence of pre-installed explosives causing the Baltimore Bridge collapse.
What the video shows is not explosives, but most likely electrical wires catching sparks.
