Demonstrations in London now, this is no longer a protest at a genuinely awful event but a chance to cause trouble. Imho.

Didn’t realise there had been riots in Trafalgar Square! That’s a shame.

I’d mistakenly assumed it was just another excuse to break the social distancing rules and not anarchists reaping havoc

Still laughing at Trump watching last evening's lift off to the Village People's 'Macho Man'.

D'y'think he knows....?

I reckon he’d look the part in leathers and a moustache - sadly I don’t think he could grow bumfluff

Riots?
Very peaceful wasn’t it? Certainly haven’t seen anything to suggest riots

On that basis-
Germany invades Poland- nah nothing to do with us.....

Iraq goes a bit crazy with its citizens - nah nothing to do with is..


You get the drift.

I guess the upshot is people around the world don’t necessarily agree with racism or police brutality

Hardly the same is it? One bloke killed by another. Something that happens multiple times every day in America.

Ok we get it - you don’t think the killing of a black man by a white cop over and over again is relevant to your life.
Let’s leave it there.
Doesn’t affect you- so why comment if not to provoke a row

Why would black lives matter be kicking off in London causing hassle and spreading the virus?

If Germany nvade Polamd why would UK citizens take to the streets and attack our Police Force?

I bet it causes less hassle than some neo-Nazi demo lead by Yaxley-Lennon in a small provisional town

Never heard you complain about that

Mr Mercury predicted it, so SAD jumps on the bandwagon

No idea about this Neo Nazi demo you’re referring to?

Are you sure it wasn’t a demo about grooming gangs?

Genuinely interested to find out

Tbf we don't really see the full picture of what happened before the police acted. Some folk need a good slapping. Not that I condone police brutality, of course.

And the second vid, there's blokes with caps and bandanas around their faces...who were told to get inside and they just ignored the request.

I don’t think it’s relevant to this country. An important difference.

I’ll leave it just where I like thank you. Not sure why you should want to censor debate on here but if so the internet isn’t for you.

It's not relevant to most people but to some it's a show of solidarity. It's not that long ago that we had the kick off after the Mark Duggan incident.

I’m sitting in my Ivory Tower but I can imagine it resonates with some people.

Resonating is one thing - and for the record it was a disgraceful incident and I hope he's punished appropriately - thinking that shouting '**** the police' at the end of Downing Street is anything other than attention seeking is another.

Those people in London are melts, and it will turn nasty. As it has in the States, the looting and violence over there is embarrassing and isn’t being done in the name of George, and is being done by people who don’t really care and see just looking to cause chaos and get some new clobber hiding behind some social injustice equal rights rubbish. These are scrubbers and anyone trying to justify it is a melt as well. There’s ways and means, they aren’t it

The US police on the other hands..wow..talk about fanning the flames..they are not helping themselves. Some of the videos on social media of how they are acting is illegal, scary and will cause a civil war if they aren’t careful. A serious reform of policing over there is needed as they could lose control.

America has to be one of the most backward places on Earth..despite its obvious wealth. The comments on social media by the majority in response to videos from all sides of the argument are scary, they are so blinded and thick it’s scary, and you can see why some crazy things happen over there, including them electing Trump!
