Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters have taken to the streets across the UK calling for an end to institutionalised racism. Demonstrators marched as, across the Atlantic, the four officers charged over George Floyd’s death went on trial. Participants said they were determined to show that previous BLM demonstrations were not just “a moment”. Mass protests were staged across the world in May and June after footage emerged of police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Mr Floyd’s neck. Chauvin and three of his now former colleagues are charged over the death but it is understood they will push for separate trials in order to diminish their roles in the incident. Socially distanced events took place outside the US embassy in London as well as in Manchester and Leeds on Friday. Those involved were encouraged to “take the knee”, which has become a symbol of solidarity with the BLM movement and a memorial to Mr Floyd. Around 40 people gathered outside the embassy in Vauxhall, south London, where the flag was flown at half mast to mark the anniversary of 9/11. Protesters carried placards bearing slogans including “Racism is not born, it is taught. End systemic racism,” while passing motorists sounded their horns in solidarity. Brian Richardson, a barrister and member of the Stand Up To Racism steering committee, said that racism in the UK also needed to be “called out”. I would argue the Hypocrisy of BLM needs to be called out. They continuously look for a problem in our Society when there ain’t one, or should I say, they are so Divisive they end with leaving a problem that wasn’t there in the first place. The vast majority of the people of the UK have had enough of their antics and the police need to, instead of taking a knee, they need to grow a pair and deliver the law and start arresting these people.
