Black Lives Matter And Far-Right Protesters Clash With Each Other And Police Over Statues In London



Daily Mail: Far-right thugs attack police and fight running battles with violent BLM supporters in London as Boris Johnson condemns 'racist thuggery' in clashes driven by 1,000 troublemakers - while other huge anti-racism protests pass peacefully

* Hooligan groups and Black Lives Matter protesters descended on London today, leading to scenes of violence
* Far right fans and thugs clashed with police and BLM in Trafalgar & Parliament Squares and Charing Cross
* People were seen punching and kicking officers, and cops doled out their own punishment with batons
* Violence broke out between members of the two sides who managed to break the police's barricades
* Police chiefs imposed a 5pm curfew on all demonstrations in a bid to quell the unrest seen throughout the day
* Around 1,000 protesters ignored requests to go, instead staying in Trafalgar square as officers watched

Clashes between far-right thugs, Black Lives Matter supporters and riot police erupted in Trafalgar Square today and at Waterloo station as approximately 1,300 troublemakers remained in central London tonight after a 5pm curfew set by police.

Police chiefs imposed the 5pm curfew on all demonstrations in a bid to quell the unrest seen throughout the day as the anti-racist rally and a pro-statue counter-protest descended into hooliganism driven by a hard core of violent activists on both sides.

Videos from the protest showed hooligans who had joined the pro-statue demonstration attacking police, before clashes broke out between BLM activists and the far-right faction in Trafalgar Square.

Churchill wasn't perfect. He did not want India to leave the Empire. I have read that is what do him kicked to the curb until WW2.

So if that is what put him in the Wilderness then most people in his party or Parliament were for Indian independence.

For nations who are proudly to consider themselves be "free", trowing down slavers statue is more correct than the statue of Marx and Lenin, who were against slavery.

Capitalist and right side are pleased by the trashing down of those statue, and now we are pleased by the trashing down of these.
Except for Cristoforo Colombo, who are an explorer, first of all.

India as suffered most under British Empire than in other times. And for information, Italians of the Left are not proud of the massacre and genocides made by Roman Empire, even if we knows that were different times, with another common morality, even pagans know love, piety, empathy, hospitality and tolerance.
But now conservatives want a correct debate on that matter? So far for his hypocrisy: no such a debate is passed through their minds without these protests!

Young Communist,

Are you a fucking idiot?

Well, you may be that, but you are also a liar.

"And for information, Italians of the Left are not proud of the massacre and genocides made by Roman Empire"

Italy invaded Abyssinian on on 15 December 1894.

Italy invaded Libya on September 29, 1911

Italy invaded Albania 4 June 1920.

Italy invaded Abyssinian on 3 October 1935. Why is it called the Second Italo-Ethiopian War? Because Italy had tried invading in 1890?

Italy invaded Albania 7 April 1940. You like invading Albania for some reason. Maybe because it is tiny?

Italy invaded Greece on 28 October 1940 and the Russians Thank you for invading Greece.

Six invasions in 50 years. That must be some sort of record.

Fun Fact. Young Communist's house is built out of tombstones that Gadaffi sent back from Libya.
