Social distance

If Boris was Mayor he’d have the water cannon out. Sadly the sort touch no interest in London that is the current mayor encourages this sort of thing. A few mindless idiots could ruin the end of lockdown and challenge the economy even further. Absolute morons

When the 2nd wave doesn't arrive, will people realise there was no pandemic?

Absolutely outrageous.....he just fell to the ground of his own volition.

Why are they demonstrating, the police offices have all been charged. I thought they wanted justice

infecting each other in the process,they havent got a brain between then obviously,someone needs to tell these selfish people thst there is a potentially killer virus about!!!!!

It seems to them, no life's matter, we are in the middle of a deadly virus, and they all fail to social distance

BlackLivesMatter & Antifa have literally killed x3 more unarmed Black people in the past 2 weeks than the US police officer's have all year! FactsMatter

Let’s hope they meet the full force of the law. How is this riot allowed?

Brin that flag 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡🤡🤡🤡💩💩💩💩

I’m soooofucking bored of this shit

why no mention of DavidDorn that was killed by the looters? AntifaDomesticTerrorists

What do these imbeciles think they’re achieving? And have they forgot we’re in a pandemic? Blood will be on their hands!🤡🤡

I see that social distancing is over then?

Why are they rioting in London?!

£1,000 fine for each and every one of them to contribute towards the NHS, whom they will no doubt strain in the coming weeks. Why are these virtue-signalling nobheads allowed to protest over a made up issue whereas I've not been able to see my family for 3 months? ScumMedia

Morons

Nike town Oxford Circus next

If u still think this is about George Floyd then ur delusional...

Covid wave 2 spreading like wildfire

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

1 brain cell, 2 brain cells, 3 brain cells........

Sounding orgasmic again Shy!
