Covid19 and the great reset

https://fullfact.org/online/fake-bbc-screenshot/

Several posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter claim that the BBC lied about the size of the anti-lockdown march in London on 29 May 2021. Altogether these posts were shared thousands of times.

In fact, the posts themselves contain a fabrication, because they base their claim on a fake image.

The posts compare two images. The first shows a large crowd in central London, which is either said or implied to be the anti-lockdown protest that took place on Saturday.

Different posts use different crowd photographs, which we have not yet been able to trace to their sources. According to the Guardian, “tens of thousands” people did attend the protest, but we cannot verify that estimate.

The second image is a screenshot showing the BBC News presenter Victoria Derbyshire above what appears to be a caption from the broadcaster which reads: “An estimated 350 people marched through London today in protest over Covid restrictions and vaccines”.

This caption is a crude fake that has been added afterwards. The original screenshot comes from a news report on 29 April 2020 about the birth of Boris Johnson’s youngest son.

The fake version is clearly not authentic, because the image of Ms Derbyshire is more than a year old. The text in the caption also uses the wrong typeface and has been centred on the screen, which is not the visual style of BBC News.

Ms Derbyshire has also said that the image is fake and that she wasn’t working on Saturday 29 May 2021.

fake news, clearly. :D
 
No i'm not in North Korea.

Like the million plus in London that day I'm concerned that basic rights are going to be taken away for people who choose not to have a medical procedure they don't want or need and is by no means safe or effective.

I'm concerned that when over a million men women and children exercise their right to peaceful protest they are demonised as a few hundred anti vaxxers and conspiracy nutters attacking a shopping centre.

Why wouldn't I be.

Only there weren't a million plus exercising their rights to perform a peaceful protest in London. It didn't get coverage because it didn't happen.

Give us a laugh and tell us where you get your 'facts' from. I love a good tin-foil hat site.

You're getting confused by the numbers. Conspiracy theorists are quoting millions whereas it's probably a few confused stragglers looking at Big Ben.
