Thousands have taken to the streets, prompting concerns about risks of breaking lockdown rules

It was the week that Britain’s young people stood up against racial injustice after watching the brutal killing of George Floyd, declaring in their thousands that Black Lives Matter via a succession of passionate and largely peaceful protests that show no sign of abating.

Would Americans do it for us? No.

I am a black woman, and, I am cringing like hell. This is stoking racism. This is getting really creepy. It's like some kind of mass hysteria or cult thing. All LIVES MATTER, including BABIES LIVES.

SadiqKhan MayorofLondon MOPACLdn SophieKLinden CommonsHomeAffs metpoliceuk SouthwarkLabour BorisJohnson DavidOlusoga Today's Guardian expresses the sentiments I have been tweeting all week. Black people are most disproportionately by Covid 19. They want to be heard.

Racial tensions in the UK aren’t in the same league as the US, but its almost like the protesters are ‘jealous’. We do least have hate crime laws where you can literally report someone for looking at you funny & that will be chalked up as a hate crime

the sickening melodrama of victimhood culture

yessssssss!!! already gone the corona fuck the health the most important and manifest against racism.... stupid people!!!

This is not antiracism. This mass Mass manipulation. Everything is a stage to promote the distruction of Nations.

Imagine having a history where you incinerated millions of people inside ovens just 75yrs ago. The U.K. on its own ended slave trade 213 years ago. This is a selfish movement which shuts out the rest of the world including the black community. “Why are WE racist to THEM?”

You guys call Muslims Asians? Wtf? Like for a few years now I’m over here like an asshole thinking where tf are all these Chinese rape gangs and murderers popping up in England all of a sudden, and it was Muslim rapist and murderers the whole time! Does everyone know this?

Sorry to be boring but I couldn't put it better. Get a life groniard minions and stop playing this divisive indenty, race politics.

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

What happened to social distancing?

Thousands join George Floyd protest in BirminghamThe demonstration is one of many held globally in the wake of the 46-year-old's death. One man's sad death could lead to another coronavirus lock down. The WHO knows herd immunity is essential to life. So they engineered a fake protest for the youth. ( they are easily lead). Then they can continue on culling the elderly. They will refuse the elderly necessities to life; companionship , fresh air and the basic of healthcare. Haven’t read any of the replies to this tweet, but what are the chances it’s full of people talking about a second wave of coronavirus in about two weeks time and gobbing off on here about the lack of social distancing? Quite high.

Avoid George Floyd protests, UK public urgedHealth Secretary Matt Hancock urges people in UK not to breach lockdown rules to take part in mass demonstrations following death of George Floyd He is correct. It is beyond stupid. Can't take government/MPs serious, one of the MPs that called out Cummings about breaking the lockdown rules broke them to protest and then video himself doing it 😂 the MSM reported on those at the beach but it was ok for thousands to protest, it was a joke from the beginning Don’t normally agree with anything Matt Hancock says but he’s right this time, even for a good cause like this
