Rats at the protest, Trafalgar Square, London, 29.08.2020

I was just trying to find some footage of these rats at the protest and found it. One good thing about smartphones nowadays is that anyone can record something and post in online.  LOL

While watching these short clips you can see in the background (literary all the way back) when the old guy from that famous twitter image starts unfolding the flag so they can take their picture.

@Mitochondrial Eve Hey Eve. Do you know if that clock on The Trafalgar St. James London building is accurate? It shows 12:15 I believe?

Hey metak - thanks for the detective work. I would say that the time on that clock is accurate.

 

This video was definitely recorded at the beginning of the rally before the speakers got on stage. When I arrived at the square just after 12pm, I could hardly hear Kate Shemirani - this is because she was, at that stage, using a megaphone and this is what the video shows. It wasn't until later that the stage was properly set up with microphones and sound equipment - then the speakers started and I could hear things a lot better.

 

Also the photos with the fascist flag don't appear to have been taken during the peak of the rally but rather at a less crowded time - I would suggest that this also lends credence to the flag being on display at the beginning of the rally around 12.15pm before the square became completely packed out.

Based on what I saw you are right. In another video you can see that old guy putting out that flag while shortly afterwards he takes it back and puts it out again.

This happens before the truck with the big screen arrives and the woman on the stage is using the megaphone, you can barely hear her.
