to the reporters, alleged a ploy of the establishment to mute their voices by terming them as conspiracy theorists. They claimed to represent 99 percent of the working class who wants the

restrictions to be lifted, which will allow them to earn livelihoods. Among the protesters spotted at the Trafalgar Square was Piers Corbyn, the brother of former Labour Party chief Jeremy

Corbyn. He has been a strong votary of removing the curbs imposed to prevent COVID-19 transmission. The fresh protests were triggered in response to the "rule of six" imposed by

Johnson, which prevents more than six people being gathered at a public place -- protests are an exception. The government also announced the imposition of curbs each night after 10 pm,

which would bar restaurants and bars to operate. _(The above story first appeared on LatestLY on Sep 26, 2020 06:12 PM IST. For more news and updates on politics, world, sports,
