Inspired by the Canadian Trucker Convoys, the UK ‘Freedom’ Conspiracy Convoy is setting off today from various places across the country with the aim of descending on London tomorrow..
What do they want? Who knows..
Some excitement building in a car park in Exeter.
Horns and a man waving as the Conspiracy Convoy sets off from Edinburgh. Police have told the freedom fighters that due to adverse weather they can’t fly flags out the windows of cars.. ⛔️ 🇬🇧
Some car and caravans honk horns as they arrive at an Extra in Leeds
One of the organisers, David, is having a lovely day.
A conspiracy convoy supporter has had a run in with a police officer in #Leicester. Not sure exactly what’s happening but looks like it’s something to do with the flags being hung off the bridge.
Piers Corbyn has joined the conspiracy convoy on their tour of the UK’s motorway service stations.
Send out a search party for the convoy. Last seen Occupying Little Chef.
Some of the conspiracy convoy has arrived in Embankment.
They’re being asked to move off the red route. Unfortunately the ‘crime number’ doesn’t count as a parking permit.
Currently the convoy in London consists of pedestrians standing in the cycle lane. A cyclist yells “go home’” as he rides by.
Wardens are attempting to issue a parking fine to a protestor.
Another protestor asks them to respect his personal space because he’s feeling uncomfortable.
Protestor vs protestor exchange continued
The UK Freedom Trucker Convoy is now outside 10 Downing Street. Less than 100 people listening to Piers Corbyn rant, without a Truck or even a pushbike in sight.
Members of the group are not getting on well
Cheering as the UK Freedom Convoy passes number 10. 1 hatchback and 4 vans.
Looks like the Occupation of the capital is coming to an end.
Bad news. Looks like the convoy will be regrouping at the South Mimms Services tonight.
Speaking is banned and silence encouraged - except for horns.
Supporter of the convoy throws object at police officers
Apologies, I missed it but this is what happened before the object was thrown.
Noticeable mood change from anti-vaxxer protest ringleader, Michael Chaves. Disillusioned with in-effective roadside protest. Now talking about taking protests to “murder factories” (hospitals) so they can be noticed by people who are “having their emergency situation”.
A group member comments that Hospitals are “now the killing fields”.
Gary suggests that it would be a better idea to go “where the people live” inc “MPs, Councillors, Doctors”. He wants to “step it up” and make it personal..

More: Police staff pull the shutters down. The anti-vaxxer says they’ll be back every week to attempt to get a running commentary (on an investigation that isn’t happening).
They’re convinced they have the right to do so because of a bogus ‘crime number’ that leads them to believe that there is an active investigation into #covid19 vaccines.

NEW:💉⛔️ #Antivaxxers attempt to have vaccine centre shut down. The police tell them that’s not going to happen. The antivaxxers then tell the police officers that they are under arrest 🤦🏽♂️
The #antivaxxers tell the police that they are “absolutely in the right” and that the police should be arrested by the police for “enabling” “mass genocide”.
No footage of the finale unfortunately but this is the red beret gentleman’s version of events..
