London mayoral candidate and actor Laurence Fox spoke to OANN about the media's failure to accurately report the sizable number of attendees at an anti-lockdown march in the UK's capital on Monday.

Speaking on Natalie Harp's show, Fox said that there "were a few more people than the hundreds that the BBC falsely reported, as the government propaganda department they are."

"It was the biggest demonstration that I've ever seen in my life since the Iraq War demonstrations," said Fox.

Fox also noted the discrepancy in media reports between right-wing and left-wing protests: "It's funny how leftist demonstrations always have a million people there who are sensible."

Fox later said that the anti-lockdown protests resembled "the sort of romantic version of what people think Woodstock was. That was peace and love. That was normal, working people outside saying 'you've got to let us be free.'"

"In England, we made a huge mistake in giving the government our liberty. We lent our liberty for three weeks to flatten the curve in the United Kingdom and they consistently abused our trust, lied to us and misled us," added Fox.

"People are realizing that they're being lied to by the media," Fox concluded.

Fox announced his candidacy for London mayor in March, running on the Reclaim Party ticket, a political movement that he launched in October, 2020. His proposal is to "offer a voice to those who are being dominated into silence."

In a campaign video posted to social media, Fox discussed the difficulties of the past year, particularly the suppression of freedoms. He appeals to people regardless of their political stripes, speaking of the current conditions as regards citizens' relinquishing of freedoms "in the name of the common good."

"I want to reclaim your freedom," he said, "I want to reclaim your freedom to work... your freedom to move, to be whoever you want to be with... your fundamental human need to be together... and to never take that freedom away again."
