I would imagine so. It’s a show of support and solidarity for the protesters in the US, and the more people objecting to this disgusting police brutality we see time and again, the better.

In that case, I would like there to be world wide protests for this cause.

There are protests in France, Australia that I know of for sure. Like the UK, you wouldn't have to dig down very far to find institutionalised racism.

Demonstrate but not with violence. March but peacefully. Throwing missiles at police and mounted police. Not the way forward.

Police but without killing unarmed civilians. Apply the law, but fairly and with respect. Shooting unarmed citizens and kneeling on their necks. Not the way forward.

Never an excuse for violence.

what i read there wasnt any trouble on the protest / march, it was after, the hardcore tried to get into downing street after the main protest had dispersed

agree with the sentiment behind the protest totally.

 

very worried about the massive grouping of people.

 

hope some of the protestors arent complaining about ministers and aides travelling to second homes whilst grouping in hundreds.

Many of those protesters in London will be crammed into a tube Monday to Friday, where, for another week, nobody has to wear masks.

 

But lockdown finished in the lovely sunny weather last week. Aparently social distancing was in place today but i didnt see much evidence of it.
