Right Said Fred ruthlessly trolled after joining anti-lockdown protest in London

Right Said Fred stars Fred and Richard Fairbrass attended an anti-lockdown protest in London this weekend and shared a picture of demonstrators holding up signs calling the coronavirus pandemic a 'lie' and a 'hoax'

The stars of Right Said Fred have been ruthlessly trolled after joining the anti-lockdown protests in London this weekend.

Pop brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass came under fire after sharing a picture from the demonstration in the capital on Saturday.

In the snap, protesters were seen holding up signs with slogans including "A hug a day keeps the Covid away" and "The pandemic is a lie".

Another sign referenced far-right conspiracy theory QAnon and branded the WHO the "World Hoax Organisation".

They shared the picture on their Right Said Fred Twitter page, writing: "There was a really good atmosphere in Trafalgar Square today".

The post sparked a fierce backlash with followers accusing the pop stars of supporting coronavirus conspiracy theorists.

One wrote: "Can 2020 get any more weird? Right said Fred 'HOLD.MY.BEER!'"

Another added: "Since Right Said Fred have gone over to the dumb side... They're Too stupid to wear masks Too stupid to wear masks Its too big an ask!"

A third tweeted: "Aw no, not #RightSaidFred too?! Childhood faves but oh well, deleting off my Apple Music then.

"I don’t want a single penny of steaming revenue going to anyone promoting s**t that’s killing people. Bye bye."

One more added: "Alt Right Said Fred already taken? Either way there's more puns there than you've had singles these past 2 decades."

Another referenced recently social media posts by pop group Jedward, who recently tweeted urging the government to give out free masks and hand sanitiser to those that can't afford them.

The Twitter user wrote: "If you'd have told me last year that 2020 was basically Right Said Fred vs Jedward, and that Jedward were the voice of all reason, I think I'd have took myself off to Bedlam."

The furious brothers hit out at the haters in a scathing tweet as they went on a blocking spree.

They tweeted: "If the best you’ve got is Far Right Said Fred, Deeply S**tty, Too Sexy For my Mask, Bald C**ts or t**ts then don’t be surprised if you’re blocked for being predictable and boring."

They then added: "We forgot Wrong Said Fred...that’s some clever f**king word play right there."

When one followers called them out over the Q Anon sign in the picture, they replied: "That’s the foundation of free speech, allowing people to express themselves.

"It’s irrelevant who we agree with or disagree with."
