Protesters shout 'paedophile' as they gather outside Buckingham Palace

Protesters shout 'paedophile' as they gather outside Buckingham Palace

Footage showing a group shouting ‘paedophile’ at the gates of Buckingham Palace has gone viral on social media.

More than three million people have watched the clip recorded at a protest ‘against child trafficking’ at the weekend.

It appears the event has links with controversial anti-mask group Stand Up X, who have been responsible for anti-lockdown protests across the UK, including shouting at shoppers in a branch of Morrisons Supermarket.

The group’s logo appeared on early flyers for the event, which was officially organised by a group calling itself ‘Freedom For Children UK’.

It said the march was intended to ‘bring awareness to the current reality of child exploitation within our own communities and around the world.’

Similar demonstrations were taking place in cities across the world at the same time, according to organisers.



Anger in London appeared to be directed at the Queen’s son, Prince Andrew, who has consistently denied allegations he had sex with Virginia Giuffre on three separate occasions when she was 17. He stepped down from royal public life in November last year.

Ms Guiffre was allegedly trafficked by billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a former associate of the Duke of York.

He was convicted of procuring an underage girl for prostitution in 2008 and killed himself in August last year while awaiting trial over fresh trafficking charges.

Andrew was also friends with British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently facing charges of the sex trafficking of children. She has denied the charges against her.

Saturday’s protest saw demonstrators walk from the London Eye to the palace and Parliament Square. There was later a planned meditation in Green Park.


Demonstrations were taking place across the world


The group claimed that eight million children, including 200,000 in the UK, are going missing every year. Speaking in a YouTube clip, one of the organisers, Laura Ward said she thought it was part of an ‘evil plan’ and the children were being ‘abused, tortured and raped.’

The Facebook page for the event on Saturday said: ‘We hope to encourage our judiciary systems to provide proper representation to survivors who have been impacted by child exploitation and to serve maximum sentencing to perpetrators of this issue.’

Ms Ward has previously expressed anti-masks sentiments on her Facebook page, saying there was ‘no f***ing way she would wear one, adding: ‘If you don’t think something suspicious is going on, why not? There is so much at stake here.’

Stand Up X held rallies across the UK last weekend. At the event in Birmingham, speakers told protestors that ‘Covid 19 is a smokescreen for a bigger agenda.’

Attendees were recommended that people should not comply with track and trace efforts and instead tell restaurants they were ‘Mickey Mouse.’
