Demonstrations have been ongoing every day across the US following the death of George Floyd as police forces have been embroiled in allegations of police brutality against people of colour. Mr Floyd died after a white officer held him down by pressing a knee into his neck in Minneapolis on May 25, sparking days of protest. These scenes have now crossed the Atlantic as British protesters blocked the Park Lane road by Hyde Park, stopping traffic including at least 10 double-decker buses before heading south. Many protesters climbed onto sculptures and phone boxes, while others climbed on top of a cafe in Speakers’ Corner. I mean, what gives these people the right to deface our sculptures? They want to Destroy our History that’s why. It’s Antifa, they’ve Hijacked the BLM and it’s all about Destruction.
