It seems they have cottoned on to what many have been stating for almost a fortnight now: That, like so many other noble causes from environmentalism to human rights, the Black Lives Matter movement is fast being hijacked by Left-wing extremists who now wish to use it to advance a rackety and in many ways dangerous political agenda. The Army has come round to this view. While several police forces asked officers to ‘take the knee’ at protests last month, defence officials this week banned servicemen from making the gesture because they deemed it too political. To understand why, one need only visit the crowdfunding website GoFundMe, where Black Lives Matter UK has solicited more than £1million in donations.
Most of the 34,000 donors were doubtless motivated by a well-meaning desire to help eradicate racial inequality. However, for readers who look hard enough, the page reveals they are giving to an organisation whose stated aims are also to ‘dismantle’ capitalism. Buried in the small print is another odd revelation: @UKBLM intends to spend some of their cash on ‘strategies for the abolition of police’.
