June 2020. Tens of thousands of people attended protests across the UK on Sunday – including one where a statue of a slave trader was pulled down – after a week in which growing numbers defied calls from politicians and police to avoid mass gatherings to rally against racial injustice. In London, thousands gathered outside the US embassy in south London in solidarity with demonstrators in the United States, where protests against police violence and systemic racism sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis continued into a second weekend. Later, an anti-racism protest was held at Parliament Square in Westminster. Among those present was the rapper Stormzy. He did not speak, but listened as speakers talked about the struggle for equality. The Protests are a total Insult to the Essential Workers during the Pandemic and it’s a Threat to the UK Culture.
