Here are some more images from cities around the UK, where protesters have gathered to express their anger followingIn central London, police had to close roads around Parliament Square as protesters rallied in defiance of UKAlthough there were no official road closures, the number of protesters compelled police to cordon off some streets around London's Parliament Square.
Image caption: The cold, wet weather has not deterred protesters. Organisers asked people to maintain a 2m distance from each other and were handing out face masks. Many used their outfits to make clear their sense of injustice over George Floyd's death.The majority of the demonstrators in Parliament Square were wearing masks and face coverings. One organiser told the crowds: "We are not here for violence. Today is sheer positivity.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This man is a serious criminal and now a hero? I’m all for no racism but there’s more to this!!
Vote November 3, 2020
Is this not now causing more division than there ever was before?
Shame that this will have a limited effect. BorisJohnson has little or no respect for race & equality. notmyprimeminister
Can I ask why on your BBC news channel you have a lot of people speaking on their issues as POC to further drive home this divisive narrative? Black, White, Brown ALL people experience racism... I think we know why... leftwingmedia
dustybin33 And the BBC are there egging them on.
The people who told us last week that the law applies equally to everyone are now flouting Covid 19 regulations
night should be good on Monday if maitlis is presenting - she'll have lots to say about the mass breaking of social distancing rules and risk to public health from the illegal gatherings. Oh wait...
Nothing about the violence then or attacks in the police in London ukprotests
Still no mention of the violence? A bloke goes for a 30 mile drive in a car and you call it a scandal, but illegal gatherings that risk spiking the Covid-19 epidemic and erupt into violence are portrayed as righteous and peaceful demonstrations. Unbelievable, literally.
I'll update for you
All these gatherings are goning to fuck my wedding up weather it be going to the beach or protesting
You seem to have gone quiet now that things have turned ugly !!! What's the matter, doesn't it fit the narrative that you want to put across...?
Poor and Selfish people!!! Such a bunch of idiots protesting at this time of crisis!!!
This may interest you...
These are SUICIDAL Marches towards deadly Coronavirus..sorry, I am there ..My Live Matters..!
Show the policeOfficer being thrown from their horse because of the baying crowds . Show the abuse of our BravePolice show the damage to our cities show the injured PoliceOfficers Media who’ve caused this outrage AllLivesMatter EvenOurPolice Respect ShameOnYou
Few of these people actually support the cause. Just an excuse to loot steel smash stuff and be violent. Shameful. Looking fwd to next week when this is all forgotten about and the sudden spike in covid positive cases returns. 🙄
Really black lives matter.. in support of... or just an excuse to riot and be thugs...
When will you be covering the violence and attacks against the mounted police? When will you start acting as a news agency and cover the news accurately? There was violence and rioting in London yet no coverage from you. Why is that? ScumMedia
Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
are you covering the trouble in London, nothing to do with a protest on equality, just scum attacking the police and authorities THEY also rely on to keep us safe!! bloody disgrace
You're not reporting the violence.
What percentage of these “people” clapped on doorsteps for 10 weeks or lambasted others on social media to stay at home
Racism is wrong, but feel sorry for the police being exposed to the virus because of the protests..
Are you going to report on the violence these “peaceful” protesters have caused today corruptBBC
Vandalism and gathering in crowds during a pandemic does not mean that you are not a racist. Most people are not racist. This is divisive bullshit.
Was it really a racist attack or an aggressive arrest ? Was there any racist comments made
So what would you say about this ? 🙄
Completely the wrong time, the water canons should be deployed to disperse the Covid idiots, some of us are commited to the lockdown, this makes me think why bother!
Have all your reporters gone home? Or is it you don't want to cover the violent scenes in London at the moment? I'm sure there are loads that would love to see this not peaceful protest
An absolute disgrace that people choose to put lives at risk and come out onto the streets to protest. There is a time and place for everything and this is most certainly not the right time !!
Need to up their art game
Now a days protest has become full time activity. It seems some are waiting for an opportunity to protest. Remove media coverage and you shall find 90% of the protestors would not turn up.
So only those under 20 appear to be protesting? This is rent a crowd - not genuine protest. Kids on bikes ? There is a significant minority here just looking for trouble.
All of this for a man convicted of armed robbery, pointing a gun at a pregnant woman and being involved in various drugs charges
What happened to social distancing. What a shame if there is a second spike.
During COVID19 mass gatherings and violence are unforgivable.If you want to protest it should be been done distanced apart from one another & peaceful.Makes a mockery of what your supposedly protesting against.When the next wave comes the blame will be with all these people😡
Kneeling is sybolic murder and therefore racist.
Thugs...
RIOTS, not marches RIOTS.
The same protesters who turn a blind eye on knife crime
Scum
uk police are nothing like Americas yes every country has some bad police but protesting against violence then some idoits are doing same our police its ridiculous behaviour all this going do put u back on lockdown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🖕🖕
Why was there not this much outrage over the rape of 19000 British girls by Muslim immigrants.
JiovaniJemndi I see you
Outrageous ..why is there nothing on BBC about the police being attacked by protesters an the Churchill statue being defaced..it is the main headlines now on Sky news..
Violent covidiot thugs 2nd wavers
👍👍
This is the pay masters of the BBC staff.
How about a bit of coverage of the white farmers in South Africa being killed every day with no mention from the BBC.
Clowns
Somebody grab me a new telly when the looting starts!
It's a shame our NHS staff will have to suffer more shitty days because of these selfish idiots.
Few details of police ignoring racial& domestic violence Ive been tweeting.This a few years ago,but I raise everytime I speak or write to MET on crimes I'm still fighting justice for.They remain silent,I hav the emails+letters.Crimes were rec. by MET blacklivematter georgefloyd
Any list of demands yet? What are they hoping to achieve?
All idiots. 2nd Covid19UK Spike ahead of us.
Absolute scumbags attacking police
Every person on the planet should be free to protest and speak their mind on any issue. I'm not sure how defacing a monument of Churchill will help win hearts and minds though. The MSM could help to calm the situation....they won't
And undone 11 weeks of lockdown....well done
Great idea in the middle of a pandemic! Idiots!
BBCPolitics Clearly it's a case of no lives matter to this bunch of selfish morons. All totally disregarding other people's safety during a pandemic. Thick just doesn't cover their IQ.
Racism has no place in the UK. Stand up to hatred & wise up to those who seek to divide us. Stand up to the 1% and the globalist tyrants that attempt to set us up against each other. We must unite peacefully.
Your cause is irrelevant. If you promote mass protest during a pandemic, you are wrong. Dangerous and damaging to the common good.
steverichards14 On a Saturday?
Why is the MSM media covering this so much? Whilst the man should not have died in such a manner, he was no angel.
This riot your promoting will up those numbers shortly and you'll get exactly what your asking for
And they deface Churchill's statue on D Day and tell obscenities. They break social distancing rules, so when we are put back into severe lockdown next week, we know who to blame, don't we?
Dossers
Is there no briefing today? When was that announced?
Idiots
Looks like the virus has taken a rest & being put on hold!
Hello second wave!
Humbug.
Really BBC, the Far-Left MSM pulling the wool over peoples eyes. Truth goes out the window when it comes to the Far-Left. ...
Spreading the love...oh I mean the virus
No mention on BBC News about Churchills statue being vandalised. Today of all days. Disgraceful. nofuckingidea
Any deaths from today in London will be at the door of those who allowed these demonstrations to take place
Is anybody EVER going to hold this government to account? 😡
Hose them with disinfectant.
Lockdown is officially over 👍 nice one 😁
Scum
Complete idiots the lot of them. Not half a brain cell between them. When they all get Covid next week I hope there are no complaints. They cannot blame the government for the second spike which will happen as this will we all down to these protesting morons!
Social distancing ya bunch of twats. Let’s protest and spread covid-19. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Are we still 2 weeks behind Italy does anyone know?
No point wearing a mask if you cant wear it properly.
They all have coronavirus
Not that exemplary, law abiding citizen who pointed a gun at the pregnant woman? We could not match for the D Day landings, but metpoliceuk and SadiqKhan allowed this. Hypocrisy.
the lefties & anarchist will bring flames, looting and violence to the UK & a deadly second wave of coronavirus, pray for heavy rain.🙏
☹️ The situation is a disaster, we got same deaths than last week,it means that we haven’t gone onwards anything yet. The government is liar also really shit, so we will be like this until vaccine get found,Unbelievable and shameful 😔
Anthony joshua joining in the protests in watford 🤦♂️🤦♂️ my god has this guy got a screw loose? And people see him as a positive role model 🤔🤔🤔
So Black Lives Matter? How many from a BAME background may suffer this virus and pay the ultimate price? No-one,I hope, but....?
Look up Brandon Tatum guys he has it just about right.
....Kamikaze Marches...!!
So let me get this right.......idiots are gathering in large numbers not respecting social distancing rules supposedly in support of black people and in doing so spreading a virus that disproportionately affects black people more than white😂😂 Irony Covidiot SecondWave
Just wiped out any good 11 weeks in lockdown did.
Think the Nazi in blue sneaked in to your picture
My sister wrote this, I honestly couldn’t of put this into truer words.
Social distancing at its finest
Look at all those scruffs, no idea what they are marching for, they are doing it just to cause havoc. I would say 80% youths.
That's not a protest, its organised terrorism and should be dealt with as such
Idiots.
I wanna ask all media in every countries : Is there any positive value in your (daily) report of death toll? I'm kind of fed up with such reports, becoz it brings us nothing positive.
Test figures?
This moment is long overdue but came to fruition because so many ppl all over the world are not working due to covid and have time to focus on a huge issue that affects millions of ppl. Finally
Little social distancing do I see here, don't black lives matter enough to also take care and prevent contagion?
OldLivesDontMatter FucktheNHS
Dumb fools
Brilliant, this will spread ththe virus and kill more ethnic people, how brilliant these far left idiots are. Notice most are white, probably radicalised students, radicalised you guessed by far left educators which will include teachers and lecturers.
BBCWalesNews And how many have fully recovered and gone home?
Should all be sprayed and when they show up at hospital in two weeks they can be turned away.If it was one of mine they wouldn’t get in the house feckin idiots.
If the country goes back into lock down these dins will be the first to cry.
To all the key workers working in central London and around the UK needing to share public transport with protesters - please stay safe!!
For those who say the UK don't have a racism problem, allow me to remind you: The Windrush Scandal Nigel Farage Britain First Katie Hopkins Theresa May's GO HOME bus Tommy Robinson Grenfell Boris fucking Johnson BlackLivesMatterUK 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿
I wonder how many of the 'I am very intelligent' brigade criticising these protests are in favour of kids going back to school and were pissed up doing a conga on VE day? Rather a lot, I would think.
Thank god there not a pandemic on......oh wait...
Covid-19 most prevalent in BAME communities, R number goes over 1, mass unemployment, govt gets blame. 🤔
Where’s the tears of fury and hate Now, BBC? Two weeks ago a minor breach of lockdown was a hanging offence, and you provoked the mob every day. And now silence because this is a liberal left protest. Hypocrites.
Great contribution to coronavirus, don’t forget self isolation after March.
They look like a lot of thugs
Thank you, but wear your masks come on ... you’re not on the beaches or in the parks or at a picnic or driving to ...
3 weeks and there will be a huge coronavirus spike. Solidarity over a horrendous death and against ingrained persecution is a fantastic thing in normal circumstances , but risking other lives during a pandemic ?
Wonderful news, perhaps if we had lock down, stopped people coming into the Uak apart from UK citizens returning, who could have been isolated for 14 days. Might have saved many many lives,well done BJ and his clan👎🇬🇧
Will be more after black live matter protest.
BBCWalesNews Any proof that all these deaths are actually the virus or you continuously spreading fake news again
Last week I swear it was officially 50,000, and that's excluding care home deaths
Well over 1000 people die every day in the UK from all causes but it's only newsworthy if it's covid-related
I don't know whether to cheer or cry... Thanks MattHancock and BorisJohnson ...Murderers
Give it 2 weeks 😭😢
Not going down?
That figure doesn’t of course include those now demonstrating in London at around the UK. What a total f..k up the government has turned this into.
Please use the more accurate figures from the FT More like 65,000 unnecessary deaths. Why have you not mentioned we are the worst country IN THE WORLD?
This is on you BorisJohnson
When will the govt be held to account for this. They're so damned pleased with themselves and keep saying how well they're doing. We are the second country in the world to exceed 40k deaths, behind America with its huge population, little tiny us. I'm raging 🤬🤬🤬
Disgraceful
BBCPolitics Hadn't heard this before. Worrying for longer term health impacts.
Does this mean we won't have to sit through the BBC news programme beforehand........whoopi
Is there a daily update today? Please state somewhere!
Shocking
Thanks to all the Tory voters. Congratulations on voting for a PM who’s chosen money over people.
BBCPolitics Where are the headlines about the mass breaking of lockdown rules? You spent the last two weeks on a witch hunt against one man because you don't like his politics, but when it's a demonstration for a right-on cause that you approve of? Almost nothing. All good.
40000 deaths that could have been much less if the government had ordered the lockdown 2 weeks earlier, when they knew what was going to happen here.
Is there no Downing Street briefing today?
Are these UK Covid deaths including Covid deaths in nursing/ care homes or just in hospitals
BBCPolitics remember when traders were given bonuses in 2008, because their banks only lost 10 billion instead of 12; its the same here. Johnson has already said it could have been 100000 deaths !
BBCPolitics I think you should stop reporting the daily death toll. Every life lost is a tragedy, but constant focus on the numbers only adds to the anxiety and fear about coronavirus.
It’s going to be a lot more in a few weeks after all those morons have finished their demo’s...
How many had underlying health issues?
Wow! 40 000 deaths and people don't seem to care?
