Crowds in the UK defy coronavirus warnings as they take part in Black Lives Matter demonstrations

Thousands of people have gathered in Parliament Square with some heading towards the Home Office, despite the warnings to stay at home.

During a minute's silence protesters went down on one knee while holding their fists in the air before chanting Mr Floyd's name. "Of course I completely understand people's to desire to express their views and have the right to protest but the fact of the matter is we are in a health pandemic across the UK, coronavirus is a deadly virus and I would say to those who want to protest, please don't," she said.

She said:"Now I appreciate that we have a very, very long history of people expressing themselves by assembling and waving placards and being in central London, and all those things are very dear to our history.

Spreading disease. It's important to be able to protest but at a time like this when it's so easy to pass on the virus to someone else?

Obviously they don’t matter that much.

BBCWorld It should not only Black Lives Matter! It should be 'Non White Ives is Matter!'

Just like people defied warnings for VE day?

BBCWorld Black lives matter

Youve got to admit though... Lockdown had already been fluffed by the govt. I live near a beach and it had been full of middle class holiday makers and their families. What's the difference? At least the protest is for a just cause not just selfish enjoyment. BlackLivesMatter

Lockdown has already been messed up and ruined by this government. Don't blame it on BlackLivesMatter . And if you are still replying AllLivesMatters - you've clearly missed the point. Please look Into this. I'm white and I've never been made to feel that my life doesn't mater

More gatherings of thestupid

THIS SUMMER: LOCKDOWN LEVEL 5 RETURNS. I hope we get to spend Christmas with family!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Guess they are simply responding to their instincts.

Black Lives obviously don't matter to Coronovirus wake up here is the second wave

If this is liberty I want out

Did Dominic cummings go?

Arseholes

Wankers go home

BBCWorld A bunch of fools

Crowds in ENGLAND. There’s been no protests in Scotland. wales or Northern Ireland as yet.

2-3 months of lockdown / wrecking the economy was a bit of a waste of time ay 😂

It’s all Dom Cummings fault that CV19 will rise again! Not! Theses Cretins have stuck two fingers up to the NHS. Hang your heads in shame. Protest yes but not in such a selfish way that could affect many thousands of lives and jobs.

It is not just about George Floyd; BBC.

Which is commendable... Except for the part of public gatherings... which part of airborne virus don't they understand? We don't really practice social distancing in S. Korea, but!!! we DO wear masks for our protection and others.. Our cases are NOT increasing ... Wonder why

They obviously don't matter

Where are the water cannons? ?

Not good yes every race matters If you go to theses gatherings you might get the virus, so you get to die and blame others For your stupidity of going to the demonstration

London will be in lockdown 2 weeks time, thanks rioters, all in name of violent criminal who held gun at stomach of pregnant woman but still should not have been knelt on.Police in US are racist but we are not the US. But carry on and infect your families because all lives matter

BBCWorld Wear masks 😷✌️✊

Why protest during a pandemic! Ffs why have we bothered with a lockdown!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Such an important cause but mass gatherings should not be taking place at a time when vulnerable people are self isolating, many people are following rules and not able to see family, jobs are being lost, and the NHS is under immense pressure. Hope this doesnt lead to 2nd wave.

Selfish bastards

So how many people are going to die as a result of the protests? Every life should matter regardless of colour, religion, beliefs or sexuality. What about protesting against those who are killing people. Oh sorry that would be the protestors themselves.

Well I can only say that, if any protesters get Covid then it’s down to them and I will not feel sorry for them, harsh I know but I would like to say thank you for upping the game, let’s hope NightingaleLDN are ready

It ironic demonstrating about the death of one person; trying to do the same thing. They are the privileged few that is mostly considered first. If we could have saved someone I feel we would have; even if they try to claim a Darwin Award or Lemmings no prejudices considered.

Absolute fucking animals.

BBCWorld Giving the corona virus another go. Imagine that. In October they may be locked down again. Let’s keep this one.

BBCWorld 😡

Disgusting! Totally ignoring the COVID-19 Implications of their utterly pointless Demonstration. It would have been PATHETIC in normal times. But now it’s potentially LETHAL to them, their loved ones, and everyone else they come into contact with. Crass Life Threatening Behaviour

All lives matter everyone shouting about black lives matter thousands and thousands of protesters all over Britain with a deadly virus about all protesters dont care about anyone kids cant go to school or play football but its ok for protesters to gather there thousands

Think you mean left wing organised riots.

It would have been better to do it online, it still has the same impact, no one gets hurt, no threat of a spread of Corona virus. We did it in Newcastle, you'd think that they could have done it in the Capital.

No social distancing here, they should all be fined.

Selfish people

Where is BorisJohnson ?

You mean blm riots BBC slight mistake there you're welcome.

Get the helicopters overhead. Spray them with blue dye that won’t come off for 14 days. We can then spot those wandering about in breach of the quarantine they all need to be in due to their action today.

Interesting you chose not to show any of the violence that has gone hand in hand with this, do people attacking police horses not fit in with your narrative?

BBCWorld That’s the R rate going over 1 then.

BBCWorld This demonstration is uncalled for and will have severe consequences because they are spreading Corona virus. When it will start killing them, they should blame themselves and not their government

I’d like to see the army step in and put idiots in their place. Riots is not the answer.

I bet George would absolutely hate this....

Social distancing? clapforracism

A very worthy cause unfortunately let down by the few as usual.

...dominic cummings proved that you cannot be unlawful during this epidemic...

Not demonstration but rioting scum attacking the police, throwing missiles at horses and defacing monuments.

Report the videos of Candace Owens. David J Harris junior and Terence K Williams 10 black children in USA killed by black gunmen all between 2 and 14. Highest homicide instances in USA Black on Black Every death is a tragedy Where is your impartiality?

The issue now is all about defying the warnings, not Floyd the Mason. No doubt this is an item on the Agenda to create/fabricate a spike so they can shut down large chunks of the country & impose control. Fascists are running the show disguised as Conservatives. 1922Committee

This is madness. Yes I agree to protest but risking more lives isn't the way, especially when it is known that ethnic minorities are more at risk. Think people.

ALL lives matter, including those put at Covid-19 risk, in different ways, by this behaviour. Yes, there are those involved in the demonstrations who genuinely, peacefully and quite rightly contest racism but there are many 'serial' protesters who actually don't give a damn 😠

secondspike coronavirusuk

Stay home , stay safe. What is so difficult to understand?

VE day was just as bad if not worse and the number of people rushing to local beauty spots because they're off work 🤷🏻‍♀️ meanwhile the NHS will be there for everybody regardless of if you're protesting for a worthwhile cause or enjoying the sun with your mates.

My uncle was on the beach during the d-day landings, he never spoke of it. The horror he went thru you can never imagine, yet, the eventual fredom won by his generation gives these people the right to protest, but also have zero understanding of how privileged they all are..

I hope they all get Covid-19 & die. How dare they desecrate OUR national monuments!

Ah yes, a gathering of no more than 6, and in your garden or park...! So , open up the football stadiums, rugby, motor racing etc as it would appear it’s acceptable for mass gatherings.

‘allowed’ to protest? what a joke.

blacklivesmatter I respect your rgt to protest, but this really wasn't the best of time to do so. Covid19 is affecting the BAMB communities plz go home to your love ones and I pray that you will not pass this dreadful virus onto them😢

For all the ThEReS A paNDemIC idiots! Zoom in and the majority of people in that picture are wearing face masks... then compare it to all the pictures of gatherings on the beaches and parks

It's OK. Dominic Cummings is there among them.

Nonsense.... racist slogan 'Black lives matter ' against racism. Should be 'All lives matter- stop racism ' .

Not a lot of SocialDistancing going on at all the BlackLivesMatterUK protests today. The irony is that the BAME population are complaining about how many of their people are dying with COVID19 and yet here they are putting themselves at risk of catching it or passing it on!🦠

Shameful angle to take on this.

Maybe the police should arrest the lot of em

IDIOTS

Fake news

The virus is serious. This don’t help. I’m sure they can protest so it’s remotely seen.People should have some respect for the NHS and everything they are doing in the current situation..

De Pfeffel gave the all clear wjen Cummings went to Durham

Absolutely diabolical behaviour!!! They were told not to but still did it because of something that occurred on the other side of the world!!! Revoke all access to the NHS for these sheep!!!

As did daytrippers & a certain Cominic Dummings

BBCWorld People should think about their safety,gathering in this way,can put others life on risk.🤔🤔🤔

No social distancing were fucked

Riots you mean

BBCWorld OH WOW! SEEING THE WORLD RIGHT NOW LIKE THIS? I DEFINITELY FEEL THE LOVE AND IT'S MAGICAL AND BEAUTIFUL!

Morons

They target the elderly, those they know are likely to die or with serious health problems. Covid19 is the biggest international scam. Why would a leader with a little brain cause unemployment to skyrocket over a virus that 99% can recover from without a treatment? Am baffled.

White lives matter also ,Lee Rigby for one. LEST WE FORGET

Put the whole UK on lockdown ffs

Interesting headline, nothing about defying warnings for VE Day or your reports for the beaches the weekend BEFORE restrictions were lifted.

Stunning and brave

Strange isn't it a short while ago the bame community were complaining they weren't being protected from covid 19 that now seems to have fallen by the wayside let's hope they don't regret there actions.

Remember social distancing will help save lives. What shame if we have a second spike.

So ALL lives don’t matter for these people🤔🤔🤔Anyone remember Covid 19😡😡

our police didnt kill the American so now like sheep they trying to fight with ours

And its these same crowds of people that will be moaning when the country is locked down again ! The second wave is going to hit at the same time as the flu season and we will see thousands more deaths !!

We get told we r positiv aftr a test only they can conduct. They decide who is sick among us, especially those with underlying illness, when one with the underlying illness dies after testin positive, it just adds up 2 d numbers of death from d virus. Things are not d same

When will blacks stop playing the victim....whites are abused too...makes my shit itch

We get told we after a test only they can conduct. They randomly from among us who is sick especially those with underlying illness, when one with the underlying illness dies after testing positive, it just adds up 2 d numbers of death from d virus. Things are not d same

And the BBC are wetting their panties? scumedia ScumMedia DefundTheBbc

BBCWorld Thank you!

Is Cummings there with his kid?

Complete morons don't they know there spreading coved

In the middle of this pandemic, the irony of people wearing masks and waving placards bearing the legend 'I Can't Breathe' seems to have escaped them! Maybe it might hit home when they or their families are on ventilators?

I remember a lady who raised up her daughter 2 believe she was terminally sick n unable 2 walk. Takes her to d doctor on wheel chair and get sympathy from the people. We we might just be going through the same in the hands of our Govt.

Met Police Commisionaire says protests are 'unlawful' so why are they happening?

BBCWorld Hope you all have said to your families that you may not be round long. Who knows who's not going to get through this virus. I would rather be alive as I can protest later. Moronic idiots. Here comes the second wave....

Oh look mediascum scumBBC condoning this disgusting behaviour from there vile humans . They say there doing the in memory crack head that threaten a pregnant and held a gun to her stomach . They all have no self worth or respect for themselves for defending this scum.

Anyone who has taken part in these demonstrations, as well as anyone else who has breached the lockdown should be refused NHS treatment if they get Coronavirus

why are they doing this.....is their no other way to make our point. any other time i would have been there, i need to live to protest another day.

Lives don't matter as Coronavirus with get you

give them all a fine morons

Covid doesnt discriminate. Prepare for LD2

Black life matters. In time of unrest somethings are more important.

These gatherings have got to stop , innocent people with underlining health issues will die what ever colour stop now.

So that’s a big 🖕🏻to all the people who’ve lost their lives. Disrespectful fucks.

Riots later.

Looking at some video clips, some were just there to cause trouble and attack the police. I hope these people get COVID19 and have a real problem with it.

These protests will likely do more to galvanise and promote racism than anything else ☹️

BBCWorld They will be the first ones to blame the government if more people from the BAME community die from COVID. Irony

wible1 Finally a spark of resistance

All lives matter - now stop this ludicrous behaviour and stop killing people by spreading the virus. Protesters are just contradicting their own words. Go home everyone.

Should the police not arrest ALL of them forbreaking coronavirus? Of course not - the coronavirus has been a HUGE CON as a test for ultimate social control.

They are testing their eyesight.

BBCWorld twats

Just watch the numbers in about 2 weeks 😔😔

BBCWorld The whole world should come along to protest this inhuman act. Stand together against White Supremacy. NoworNever

Why doesn’t your headache read “breach social distancing guidance”?!

this is the leftwaffe Army provided by the lefty liberal media. Nothing to do with anti racism but many with a new world order in favour of liberal ideologist . But people democracy will win at the end.

Omg see these protesters , what a bunch of loud mouth white hating racists

The BBC love a good left wing protest.

The bbc will love this. Guess you won’t be hounding for all them to get arrested like you did Cummings

Get ready for second wave

That’s a big BBQ!

BBCWorld

Morons

What do they hope to achieve? Most deaths of people in custody in the U.K. are white people anyway

Every life Matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It does not matter what colour you are, where you come from. Everyday people die all around the the world and suffer even from their own colour

I fully support the reason why people are protesting but are people forgetting that we are in the middle of a world wide pandemic? The only thing that's guaranteed from these protests is that the virus will spread!!

BBCWorld Racial discrimination / abuse needs to be stamped out full stop but this gathering is just what the virus needed. I fear for those who will be infected unintentionally by those who chose to attend

All those planks crying about black people standing up for themselves are the same ones who moan about muslim paedo gangs but chose to sit on their arses & simply go on social media blaming all muslims for it instead of organising and protesting.

So for the sake of one murder in another country, the UK now risks more deaths from covid-19 because of these pathetic none social distancing idiots. Reinstate a complete lockdown again BorisJohnson

This is just another excuse for these thugs to roam the streets with impunity being violent. Police are impotent and government are too PC to deal with it. How many other ethnic groups act like this - none!

BBCWorld Here we go round the Mulberry Bush...the Mulberry Bush...A CAN OF WORMS !

AllLivesMattter Everyone needs something to do at a weekend while the pubs and clubs are shut. Don't they?

Time for the water cannons and tear gas to be deployed,best way to disperse them.

Ironic

EVERY LIFE MATTERS STAY AT HOME , STOP SPREAD OF COVID 19

covid is spreading at an alarming rate through protesters. Whole 2 months lockdown wasted. What a complete bunch of morons. This needs to end now it’s putting the whole uk at risk.

There really is nothing to protest

Please don’t attend hospital for treatment of covid if you are in this crowd....from a frontline nurse 😡

Makes me so angry 🤬🤬🤬

Fucking knobs 🤦🏻‍♂️

This George Floyd

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Is there any other way to protest? Our bleeding efforts for months will be ruined... Many ppl have refrained to visit old parents living alone. No hospital visits. We had to fight against the virus all together, tho... Tragedies lead tragedies in the global crusis.

What time do you think it’s all going to go”balls up”.

Enjoy getting tested for Covid 19 England.

Taking a knee for a rapist

Jesus. I know it's a hot topic, black lives to matter, but this is how peaks fire up again and thousands of lives matter too. Though a racial topic it is also a US enforcement topic which also needs addressing. Get behind the movement but DO NOT risk more lives doing so.

BBCWorld Well it is one way of London testing whether the Covid Virus is under control in London. Only take 2 or 3 contagious people in crowd of well intentioned but ill timed attendees of meeting to start spread again....All lives matter & are effected by covid!

I wouldn’t blame BorisJohnson if he puts the whole country back in lockdown tomorrow.... Bunch of wreckless, selfish, naive people. Totally agree that BLM but we are but are in the midst of a global pandemic; one that is highly dangerous to BAME communities. STAY HOME!!!

BBCWorld Sure black live matter racism is the real pandemic in the world

Hypocrites!

Idiots

BBCWorld Happy corona👍

Why not Cummings did.

This is the biggest insult to the NHS.

They should be identified and barred from the using the NHS when it goes pear shaped for them. Thats why we need decent linked up surveillance linked to all government financed departments. Time we took a stand agains these numpties.

BBCWorld Absolute morons!

weAreTheWorld GeorgeFloyd

Idiots .....

What is wrong with these irresponsible people. There is a deadly virus out there and yet people continue to be so ignorant

Arrest the lot and fine them heavily

I’m so proud of you all❤️

BBCWorld Politically naive virtue signalling. This will add a couple of thousand to the death toll (particularly in the elderly black community) because 1 black guy was killed in Minneapolis. Completely illogical if Black Lives Matter.

Why did you never headline VE day celebrations or ClapForCarers or those massive crowds at the beaches as 'in defiance of coronavirus warnings?' (That's a rhetorical question: we all know why)

Selfish, yes lives matter but we are in the middle of a pandemic and these selfish people are putting other lives at risk by their actions

What did you expect?

turning into a bit of bandwagon, dayout 4 some the simply because, if infection rises, its the hospitals that will deal with it, there's prob vital services being used now, not thro malice, its just what happens in mass gatherings, stay safe stay true, look after each other,,1❤️

Selfish idiots. Here we come Lockdown number 2.

Second wave of Corvid-19........ within a month!

Foolish, alllivesmatter

Furlough. The devil makes work for idle hands.

Dominic Scummings said it was OK!

Machine gun the lot of em

BBCWorld Good luck NHS !

This doesn’t help people staying home to protect lives it defeats the object

Social Distance needs to be observed at all times - even if protesting. Maintain Social Distance at all cost.

Another brainwashed cult. And the funny thing is, this will just boost Boris and Trump’s popularity at the ballot box. All the left are good for is trashing shops and hurling abuse. Sad fucks.

40 thousand deaths how can these protest be allowed to happen in the capital SadiqKhan metpoliceuk

Entirely predictable from nothing about the damage of Sir Winston Churchills statue on the anniversary of D-Day,what a sick joke you lot are

Seen it was raining today as well. That’ll be the first wash some of them have had in a while!

They're all fantastic. Just wish I could join them.

We will all pay the price of this fcuking stupidy, some of us with our lives.

Keir_Starmer this is your lot!

If this shit leads to either riots or an increase in lock down levels everyone of these people need to be found arrested and locked up

The cause is right - but the protest is wrong. This will speed up the spread of COVID.

Perhaps Covid19 will ‘take a knee’ and miss this lot. Or maybe not.

...Sorry !! Coronavirus at demonstratings...i am not there.....MY LIVE MATTERS...!! .

Rubbish. Today is D Day Memorial Celebration. To the 4,000 Allied troops that lost their lives in the D-Day invasion. May their Souls Rest in Peace.

What time is the vandalism and looting starting you gang of half wits How about the world pandemic thats still around

Who side is the BBC on from no live streaming on any of its platforms of black lives matter protest In London Today.

When Cummings wasn’t sacked the gene was out of the bottle. Trust in the Government has evaporated. But this still a bad bad move for people to gather in large numbers as it will be their friends and family who may get infected. So please please stay at home.

In the middle of a pandemic. Absolute insanity.

How many clowns are out today unbelievable

FYI piersmorgan

I guess it’s d lockdown that has contributed to d mass gathering- pple have been eager to go out. if they gathered for a party, police will be called in, but it’s d ‘black lives matter’ protest, so no one will be arrested for not maintaining social distance😉

BBCWorld Cause is good but I believe all who have gone to these demonstrations should get Covid19 tests to check they not harbouring virus now and innocently spreading it to other people. Better maybe to use imagination and adopt online protest during a pandemic.

I understand that people want to protest but right now is not the right time otherwise there will be a second wave COVID 19 and I for one don’t want to be locked up for much longer I’ve had enough of not being able to sit in my Mum and Dad’s house and spend time with them.

Didn’t hear too much complaining when the parks and beaches were packed with people doing nothing important!

Of course speaking is good but this coronavirus man! Already America is struggling.... Don't repeat that here!

Who cares

BBCWorld 🇬🇧🇯🇲💕

Can we lockdown London please so we don't spread it all to the rest of the country.

Second wave here we come 🙀 LockdownExtention

Spurred on by BBC news. Second peak of Covid 19 is on you.

Trying to get more BAME people killed obviously.

BBCWorld Piers corbyn 'That's funny the police didn't get down on one knee for me'

So no law in uk now . Great . If you want to have a big family gathering, a funeral or a wedding just have a protest then your ok .

BBCWorld Tiananmen protesters more powerful than US protesters

Wonder what nhs staff think after what they been through

FuckTheNHS Protests

BBCWorld I guess piers corbyn must be scratching his head

Didn't think they'd heed a word Priti Patel was told to say.

Sky just interviewed a lefty teacher from London who had no idea why she was there ,except she has seen the news and she tried to put our police on the the same level as the usa police. This situation is a usa problem not ours. More black people kill black people than anyone.

Humbug.

Dear me.

Is there no Downing Street briefing today?

We were lost but now we’re found.

Southend

They'll probably blame the government after this when they get ill with Covid-19

So what will the tories have to say or do on this will any action be taken. Absolutely nothing

Now go home and spread the virus to all your friends and family...great result!!👍

This advice was issued in Australia. Should it apply in the UK ?

To all of you terrified by people 'not social distancing and spreading covid-19' when they protest against racism: Racism is a far more dangerous virus. It kills more people, it kills dreams and communities. And THAT is terrifying!

Again what are the protesters trying to achieve? What exactly is the point of this protest?

Where was this energy for Dominic Cummings and all the other Elite breaking lockdown? People who are LITERALLY PAID TO KNOW BETTER

Illuminati globalize gets for the rich white left wing elitists

Crowds defied corona virus last couple of weeks to go to the beach ffs

Very good social experiment 👍 let's wait and see if there will be a second wave.

Perhaps we should go to their houses and lay down in the road with signs saying you helped to kill people

Let’s hope it’s only their friends and family they infect and not innocent people they come into contact with who havnt stupidly gone on a protect during a killer pandemic!! Grow up people!!

I suspect the fact protesters were urinating on the statue of Winston Churchill will not appear on the BBC in any form. Why? It doesn't fit your broke woke narrative.

The police are just doing their jobs.

If you want to stop black people getting killed just stop getting into trouble or just stay at home and just behave very well.

spray all protesters with non toxic paint and refuse them entry to nhs. simple.

Make social distancing law ban large gatherings

The police officers in the video hopefully will get a long prison sentence for what they did but, I wonder what the black doctors and nurses who are fighting this virus on the front line think of this mass protest?

AllLivesMattter

Australia shut this bollocks down due to the overriding public health interest.

These should be banned has there a public health risk and if life's matter why would you be risking life's in these mass gathering and spreading a virus what as killed so many people and helping it kill many more what a bunch idiots

Good grief, so what they really mean is NoLivesMatter

Where was skynews and Channel4News.

Idiots everyone of them. When your relatives are dying of Covid-19 please be sure to thank the mindless c*nts that are protesting today.

Who cares about social distancing ?!

Bastards

Risking everyone's lives over a HABITUAL CRIMINAL who liked threatening, robbing and hitting single white women while armed with a gun.

This why the UK appears to have fared worse than other countries, no many not taking covid19 serious with gatherings going on since the start. coronavirus

Have you covered the vandalism of Churchill’s statue on DDay76 ? I guess not! We will wait on that with more hope than expectation. 76 years ago our greatest generation fought on DDay for our freedom. Twice this week so called protesters have vandalised its memory. shame

BBCWorld Fukcking idiots!

Idiots. Putting the rest of us at risk or further damage to the economic recovery.

won’t take long b4 trouble flares up..... And what’s happened to social distancing ? Just an excuse to demonstrate absolutely PATHETIC!

Really? We think they are gathering for a spot of rioting and looting...

A DEADLY NEW VIRUS.

Fuvking zombies 🖕

Oh dear

Let’s hope there’s enough ventilators to go round!

Only going because I’m worried my eyesight is still a bit weird and I thought I could go and count the amount of people protesting x

Beyond angry!!! 😡😡😡😡

bbc we have heard you. Time for seeing a beautiful sight to behold in the streets of London. Crowds, Festivities and bbc support . PortlandplaceLondonCNNAtalanta

BBCWorld He was a bbc legend.

stop being Conservatives by saying british citizens are breaking lockdown when your journalists,CummingsIsKaput&the Conservatives have broken lockdown rules!This racism from the UKmedia proves that you truly don't understand the importance of BlackLivesMatter

BBCWorld Justice For George Floyd BlackLiveMatter

blazelane01 For this..

I just checked the Tory Guide to Bending Rules and this looks like 1000 six person protests to me. Parliamentsquare

Anyone not social distancing should be told to go home and fined if they refuse - just like any other gathering that breaks the rules. Lives of all races are at risk in this pandemic and now is not the time for this.

Outbreak 2 on its way

Police done sod all

I thought this said cowards in the uk take part..the great unwashed, cowardly, lawless, troublemakers. It will die down after 30 June

Where are the influential BAME voices in this? People like Stormzy, sterling7 KensingtonRoyal? Don’t they see the irony in the BLM protests and the increased risk to BAME lives from Covid?

BBCWorld Rawmaish

Yes let the woke brigade congregate, contract covid and spread it to the rest of us - they will be chanting ‘I can’t breathe’ - they should be careful what they wish for. wearedoomed

Turns out we’ve just wasted 3 fucking months. Ripped up our relationships, lives and livelihoods. For nothing. Great job.

Grovelling 'guilt-mentality' 'taking the knee' to virulant 'victim-mentality'. Cowardly abdication bows to hate-filled usurpation. Whitelivesmatter BlackLivesMatter EQUALLY!

Do tell me why the slogan is Black Lives Matter? - watch what the American cops did to Tony Timpa in 2016 - didn't his life matter too? Every bit as bad.

All because someone got killed who was in jail or 7 times and held a innocent pregnant woman at gunpoint

Selfish bastards! BorisJohnson metpoliceuk is this a joke!? Get tough, we are told we can't hug family but you are Allowing this to happen!

OMG BBC reporting on something that’s actually happening! I’m shocked but pleased! Let’s hope you show all the violence that follows later

Protesters clash with police as they demand justice for George FloydFor more than a week people have rallied outside US embassies to demand justice for George Floyd - the man who gasped 'I can't breathe' when a white police officer knelt on his neck in Minneapolis. Thanks for the misrepresentation of what is, for vast majority, an entirely peaceful protest. You dangerous, hate baiting snakes. So bloody predictable. then they should go to america to protest ,or protest at the us ambassy . so why did they riot instead?

Opinion: George Floyd protesters are expressing real concerns that British police cannot ignoreThe UK has a strong – and very different – system of accountability to that in the United States, but the police service must be open to change The nationwide GeorgeFloyd protests need a tangible goal. Without such a goal, the oppressive system will continue to survive, and people will face a worsening situation. There is a tangible goal: break up the United States and make your own prosperous country. Calexit The UK and US media are not mentioning that the black 'victim' had multiple felony charges, prison record for armed robbery, and was a meth addict who used counterfeit money? Murder is despicable, but so is distorting the truth for political purposes! So true. They are effective and can respond to matters bringing justice.
