I AM NOT MAN!
Posted in Covid-19
There were some anti-lockdown protests in Hyde Park, London. (There was similar in Glasgow, but only a handful of people.)
And the result of these protests in London? The trending on UK Twitter of : “I AM A FREE” and “I AM NOT MAN”- based on this protestor’s sign.

If you don’t know, this sign is meant to be a reference to a famous line from the 1960s allegorical TV drama “The Prisoner”. Only done in the wrong order. And further messed up by inept typographical skills. It should read “I am not a number, I’m a free man!”. (2:49 into this clip.)
… And the cherry on the cake? He got arrested.
He's the one that got nicked, so he's not even a free pic.twitter.com/r9u5iH8CNI
