The PM's spokesman said Mr Johnson"absolutely understands the strength of feeling" but if people wanted the statue removed, there are"democratic routes" which can be followed.
Ms Patel told the Daily Mail the"vandals" responsible for the desecration of Churchill's statue were"repulsive criminals who I want to see brought to justice immediately". Chief Constable Andy Marsh defended the decision taken by commanders on the ground not to intervene when the statue was torn down and dumped in the harbour.
Ms Simpson, the director of the Voice, one of Britain's leading black newspapers, said people had a"legitimate right" to protest issues that have"reached boiling point", but urged people"to restrain themselves" and to try to"contain" their emotions.Addressing protesters, she said:"We know that you're angry, we know that you're in pain, we know that the you feel there's no other route to express yourself.

Funny, I didn’t hear pritipatel indignation with Dominic Cummings violation of Government Public Health Guidelines. Maybe I was distracted. Can someone here post her video showing her indignation towards Dominic Cummings behavior and demanding his resignation? Thank you
And she is right
Does that include police officers who beak the law with their own violence
Yet she works for a PM who has a reputation for saying racist things!! Speaks volumes !!
Will she sue the government?
Where is the balanced oppising view to this statement? ;-)
So she CAN make a speech without smirking... Who knew.
This the UK...
Let's face it Priti, you belong to a high caste in Hindu society - a Patel, and within that will probably have township castes too. Your double standards cannot be used to try and understand 'racism'. Think about what I am saying, don't pretend... Please!
Does this include the vile agitators in Hoddeson?
Time pritipatel realised it's people like her that are the problem.
Glad Pritpatel is behind the arrest of the Bullingdon thugs for smashing up restaurants. One of them has already made a confession but don’t look at Downing Street for him, best to make arrest in Parliament tomorrow unless the thug in chief tells him to do a runner.
It’s just a shitty piece of metal that should never have been erected
Says a government who got elected on lies & deceit , sells arms that kills thousands of innocent people and a leader (PM) with an appalling record of racism.
Contrast this with the Bristol Police Chief who had to take a pragmatic tactical response to the situation based on his local knowledge, and empathy, of the lead up to this event. There appears to be a complete disconnect between policy and reality on the pandemic and black 1/
Worst kind of person
As speeches go in the HoC she’s up there with the best pritipatel
Priti by name, willfully ignorant by nature PritiPatel is a HostileEnvironment ToryRacism 101
And yet UK supports the violence against HK police officers from the violent protestors/terrorist? What a hypocritical British is showing!
PritiPatel declares she’s faced racism in her life.The same Priti Patel who wanted foreigners deported,the same Priti Patel who is Home Sec and still hasn’t sorted out the Windrush scandal! The lady doth protest too about actually doing your job properly
Whack.
BBCPolitics
“Black Lives Matter but” is the new “I’m not racist but” Priti Patel is the but.
I don’t blame you If you’re criticising people for dumping a statue of a slave owner in the very river where his slave ships used to dock. It’s really not your fault that your parents were not any good at being parents BlackLivesMatterUK
Did we prosecute those that took down sadam Hussain statue?... oh no... it’s ok to do it to brown bad people but not white ones?
Can we have a different subject on the News tomorrow - starting with Breakfast News - you could cover D-Day about people sacrificing their lives for other people, or other much more positive stuff, we've all been through a lot recently, and cannot bear any more negative stuff?
I thought she understood racism and its effects?
oh please!!! lets not forget windrush you better sit down mate cuz your government have surely played their part in the systematic racism we are against👊🏿
‘Quiet’? You mean cowards
More balls than Boris Johnson next PM
All Lives Matter.
I luv what she said today least she showed some passion unlike rest of Tory government
Wonder when the U.K. police will arrest the U.K. for the deaths of 60,000 covid 19 victims.
AllLivesMatter DefundTheBBC
So as the WORLD EMBRACES ALL LIFE MATTERS REMEMBER THE GENOCIDE THAT GAVE YOU FREEDOM AND PRIVILEGES
Police Brutality is the fault of a faulty racist leader who does not value lives and apparently neither does the UK . between you and US You’re guilty of genocide
I'm sick of this 'BUT'..Black lives matter but....we get why they're protesting but... people are mad about other things including the removal of a statue but not angry about the injustice that Black and other ethnic minorities face daily.
BBC we are sheep no more welcome to the great awakening
What about her bullying her staff? Has she not seen what the police have up to recently?
She still doesn’t get that it’s not just about police brutality in the US. What planet is pritipatel on?
DickFbpe Perhaps this statue should also come down DefundBBC is the only way to get rid of your bias.
Think you lost quite a few people at “but”
If you want to avoid protests, better stop being a racist, Priti 'smirk' Patel!
There is no connection with the British police. Besides, 'police brutality in the United States' is a result of conditioning, not logic.
“Black lives matter but...” This has been the problem all along, always an excuse, always a “but”. STOP with the excuses and bullshit, BlackLivesMatter FULL STOP! EndRacismNow
“Black lives matter, but”
Priti deporting black Britons. She is the biggest racist.
‘Racism had no place in our society’, apart from Windrush and Grenfell? Hollow words spin
the protest is more than police brutality in the USA dear, its the last straw on the camels back from a millennia of oppression! she really is so out of touch with humanity! so short sighted and demented!
Destroying a SLAVE Trader Statute is not an OFFENCE🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why hasn't the BBC or any other news outlets reported on Anthony Joshua's speech? Telling blacks to boycott white owned shops.
Vicious lying nonsense. Sack and Try Patel.
Good on you priti. All they have done in these riots is cause more division and put the police in a no win situation.
Ms. Patel after all is a child of Indians who for generations abused and exploited Africans in Africa on behalf of their British Master, until Idi Amin threw them out of Africa. That is why she finds the destruction of the symbol of Cruel and Inhuman Slave Trade DISGUSTING!
pritipatel loves slavery
Can this woman just fk off already.
How did this woman come to power? It’s incomprehensible
What happened to bullying allegations? Why is she still in cabinet?
Pritiuseles
“Black lives matter but-“, great start to the sentence there, well done
All color lives matter at all. Someone should try to teach that to the US police officers. Cops feel almighty
ALL LIVES MATTER 😡😡😡😡
“black lives matter BUT” is the new “i’m not racist, but”
How about we just make the 'minority' the majority?
Did she just say there is no police brutality in the UK? How about we find a solution
bbc5live She's ok with Slave traders.
BBCPolitics How is this woman still a thing.
I love her 👏👏👏
BBCPolitics Priti Patel declaring that the statue-topplers should be ashamed of themselves: no-one does irony and breathtaking hypocrisy like a Tory. As for the statue-topplers themselves: in terms of symbolism, surely on a par with the Iraqis who brought down the likeness of Saddam Hussein.
Echos of trump, using same language, disgraceful!
3000 dead since 1969 in uk custody, shut up priti they want you in a zoo mate.
What does she mean the violence 'subverted' the movement? The movement is entirely based on a violent thug named George Floyd.
What about Cummings?
Talk is cheap, actions count. DO SOMETHING POSOTIVE WOMAN
If black lives matter so much, how about stop gathering during a pandemic that black people are THREE times more likely to die from?
government needs to be more forceful towards those who commit criminal damage and any other crime.
Don't forget the BBC, Who were putting out Fake reports, Surely it's time that they were Privatised?
pritipatel So says the most arrogant empathyless woman to walk in Thatcher's footsteps. statuesmattermore
Isn't it a shame that the Home Secretary 'never faced justice' when she had secret talks about using our overseas aid budget to fund the Israeli army, I think the world treason springs to mind..
Well she’s clearly not smart. Because it’s not just about police brutality in the US.
Can someone tell this lady it's not about police brutality only it's about the system. .. Britain avoiding to be number one Slaves trader to United states .
piquesghost Slap wrists or proper punishment?
Good. It was never a race issue, it was a police brutality issue twisted into another agenda. Hope they all get arrested who attacked the poor people doing their jobs and the defenceless horses. Revolting behaviour.
Shut this awful creature up.
👏👏👏
Shrieking wokists and leftists now in a bind. They can't call her out for being white, so some serious head scratching going on.
If the aim is to create a completely fair and just society then surely we should stand behind 'All lives matter'
Does that mean we can arrest the government then?
Pity she too Corrupt Bully
'Black lives matter but...' Not really a great start to ant statement
someone who knows about rule breaking and being regarded for it by American sympatheters eh pritipatel BorisJohnson theresa_may
Dear priti- when are you going to sort out the windrush scandal pritipatel - that is a really legitimate to ask of you
I can't state enough how distasteful I find this woman. When she looks in the mirror she sees Becky. Girl, tut tut
“Black lives matter BUT” “I’m not racist BUT” Listen to this absolute white supremacy JOKE from the BBC and the fascist barbie, who openly lobbies for another country while being paid by the UK ( don’t me, everyone knows)
How is it that thousands of people protesting with no social distancing, but you cannot go to funerals or weddings 🤨🤧😎
What if they were testing their eyesight at the same time?
There is a lowering of intelligence & self awareness & an increase in self obsession among protesters. Social media fed narcissistic personality disorder with aggression & attention seeking is the order of the day. Their assessment of society's faults & police is false & stupid..
Is Boris a racist?
pritipatel Why is she not getting it? It is no more about Floyd’s murder, police brutality in the US etc etc. It is now about racial inequalities in the UK which are equally glaring as in the US. Protestors are angry about that. Jesus, she is dumb & so incompetent
To be fair to the government, it is a lot easier to concentrate on the 135 people who were arrested for causing trouble, than bother to do anything about the systemic racism that millions of people were peacefully protesting about.
She obviously hasn't grasped why the situation in the US has triggered protest here. It's not about police brutality. It's about a mindset.
Britain invented racism, they’re not as vocal about it as other countries but they have a far deeper running hatred of coloured folk. If it wasn’t illegal they’d Lynch you. They’re hypocritical too, happy to watch protests in HK but want them stamped out by force here.
Complete failure to recognise this isn’t about George Floyd alone. Not justification for violence against police but she really needs to learn some context around BlackLivesMatterUK
You'll note Priti said attending mass protests during lockdown is against the law, contrary to BBCSimonMcCoy saying today that the vast majority of protesters were law abiding. They weren't, every one of them broke the law and put lives at risk and the BBC has a duty to say so.
Does she think it’s all about one man’s death? And just police brutality? Does she not think it’s about the wider problems that Floyd’s death is a symptom of? So out of touch. No wonder BAME communities are pissed off. No fucker listens, or even wants to listen.
These rioters should be facing rubber bullets not justice.
Yes you plebs, sit down and shut up. Is that what the traitor means?
Would you pritipatel have preferred the statue of a murderer slave trader stay up as no one had taken it down and there has been plenty of time and partitions over the years. No compassion
bbc5live It's ok, just say you were with Dominic Cummings and you can get away with anything. I heard he pulled down a statue in Bristol yesterday.
pritipatel Send in the army to quell the riots and the gun boats to stop the channel invaders. Do your bloody job or resign if you’re afraid of upsetting the minority
I think most would say , being black and functioning in a world built on & favoring systematic institutional racism is brave.
bbc5live Name and shame each of the uneducated violent 'protesters' and let's see who they are. This should follow them so everyone knows the type of person they are. They have let us all down and should be ashamed.
the risk is forgetting the murder of Mr Floyd to be overtaken by opportunism pulling statues down and attacking police.
Has our government formally condemned that police brutality yet and their President's tacit support of it?
We have police brutality here! This isn’t an American problem ffs! It’s a humanity problem!
Excellent
Come down heavy on these transgressors! Their mass gatherings may have compromised the entire lockdown, which many, law abiding citizens adhered to!
That’s you, that is.
Oohh look at her all scary and that. Like we give a fuck anymore. We are all acting on instinct and doing what we believe to be right for a family and children. You will not bully us. We do what we want Prime minister Cummings set us free.
This govt is so racist, pritipatel now calling protests unlawful because of the amount of people...yet people could pack out beaches and not a peep comes out her mouth She can piss right off
pritipatel How will they face justice when the police ran away from them or stood by?
“Black lives matter but” AGAIN. But removes the meaning from the first clause in the sentence.
bbc5live Sister Tom Patel we get it!!! Attacking the police is entirely wrong but bringing down the slaver is JOY.
Ask her to cry more. She is a bully.
She's essentially saying, we can protest BlackLivesMatterUK as much as we like, but as long as there are politicians like herself in power they will continue to entrench the system and make things worse.
Hopefully they’ll track down this waste of oxygen.
Funny i heard the Chinese saying the exact same thing 2 weeks ago,but the mps then were backing the protesters, how many faces has Priti Patel got?
The black mayor of Bristol says everyone else should of taken the statue down he has only been in the job 4 years Muppet
What a shit show the BBC are, we have to listen to this tory water speak her propaganda drivel and as soon as the opposition began their right of reply they went back to the studio. As soon as she came back on they went back live. The BBC is a piss poor tory rag.
bbc5live BBC needs to be brought down too. ScumMedia
