Hundreds of anti-mask activists march on London’s Hyde Park to protest against mandatory face coverings
Hundreds of activists have descended on Hyde Park in central London to protest against the wearing of face coverings, which will become compulsory in shops and supermarkets from Thursday. Demonstrators raised signs reading ‘I will not be masked, tested, tracked’ and ‘no mask’ as they gathered for the Keep Britain Free march from 1pm. The movement was founded by Simon Dolan, an aviation tycoon worth around £200million, who earlier this month lost a High Court bid to overturn the government’s lockdown rules – Mail
