Policing the anti-vaxxers: The road to nowhere?

BY CHRIS HOBBS

Photos by Chris Hobbs - taken at Clapham Common where the anti-vaxxers ended their march.

Just months ago, tens of thousands of protesters who had left Hyde Park Corner and were headed towards Speakers Corner, looked to their left into the park itself and saw tens of thousands more heading across the park to join those still queueing to leave. It was a remarkable sight; I know because I used my now notorious lack of photographic skill to capture the scene.

Last Saturday, saw yet another protest. The themes are complex and ever-changing and, broadly, seem to have moved from Covid is a hoax, to anti-Lockdown, to anti-vaccine and now, given that the overwhelming majority of the adult populace have been ‘jabbed,’ to opposing children being vaccinated. Mixed in with these themes are others, such as 5G ‘radiation,’ a Global establishment conspiracy, Bill Gates and QAnon satanic child abuse.

Three out of four adults are calling for improved safety procedures in bars, pubs and nightclubs following the recent national publicity around the safety of women and girls, according to a YouGov survey. With safety defined as ‘where efforts have been made to prevent crime, reduce harm and where staff will support you if you are feeling vulnerable’, 5,050 adults in England aged 18-45, were asked whether they agreed with the statement that ‘recent publicity around the safety of women and girls has made it more important for licensed premises to improve their safety procedures’.
