Hundreds of people have gathered for Black Lives Matter protests in cities across England. Protests took place in London, Coventry and Newcastle – the latest in a series of anti-racism demonstrations in recent weeks. The gatherings are in breach of coronavirus lockdown rules and few in the crowds wore masks and observed social distancing guidance. The government has previously warned against protesting during the pandemic. In London protesters assembled at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park amid a heavy police presence. Another group of people marched from Vauxhall to Parliament Square. This is all a total insult to all who are observing the Covid restrictions, the police need to arrest who are breaking the law, and that is all at protests.
