Thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters including singer Liam Payne and actor John Boyega gathered in London today as a show of force against the death of George Floyd in the US.

Huge crowds gathered in Hyde Park this afternoon despite ongoing social distancing rules as many campaigners wore face coverings and held signs with messages such as 'Please, I can't breathe', 'BLM' and 'Colour ≠ Crime'.

The rally comes as global demonstrations gather pace following the death of 46-year-old black man Mr Floyd who died after white police officer Derek Chauvin put his knee on his neck for nine minutes in Minneapolis on May 25.

Today, Star Wars star Boyega told the crowd: 'Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important. We have always meant something. We have always succeeded regardless. And now is the time. I ain't waiting.'

Police were generally keeping in the background of the protest while their helicopters circled above. Banners included 'Enough is Enough', 'Remember Smiley Culture', 'Remember Cherry Groce', and 'UK is not innocent'.

One protester wore a Colin Kaepernick shirt after the black American footballer who started the knee protest in the US. Thousands of demonstrators at times went down on one knee chanting 'George Floyd, George Floyd.'

It comes after UK chief constables joined forces to say they were 'appalled and horrified' by the death and called for 'justice and accountability', while warning those attending protests to do so while maintaining a safe distance. 

Separately, anti-racism campaign group Stand Up to Racism is urging Britons to 'take the knee' on their doorsteps at 6pm tonight for a protest against discrimination which is also backing the Black Lives Matter movement.

The cultural marxists and hard left are craving a heavy handed response. The authorities here can't fall into their trap.

The bill for policing this nonsense must be astronomical, never mind all of the other issues with it.

Has anyone figured exactly out what their tangible demands are as yet? Never mind whether they can be met. Or why 'protesting' last Wednesday and yesterday already doesn't satisfy their 'need' to protest (not withstanding the fact they are technically illegal at this point).

We can't be blind to the specific dynamics of this. They are not peaceful in the normal sense. Yes quite a few are along for the ride and social media profile. Some want to legitimately show solidarity with the protests in the US (from their perspective). Many of them are angry people, raised to believe white people are the enemy and spoiling for a fight. I don't envy the decision makers. If the protests were actually banned and actively prevented as you suggest, not only would there be a lot of violence to police that anyway, the mainstream media narrative would be that this is just the oppressed black voices being silenced again by the (white) people in power. Let's be clear, the antagonists here won't rest until they get the fight with the authorities they want.

The police officer injured after falling off her horse at yesterday’s Black Lives Matter protest suffered a broken collar bone, broken ribs and a collapsed lung, MailOnline can reveal.

The mounted officer is still receiving treatment in hospital but is likely to be off duty for four months while she recovers, the Metropolitan Police Federation revealed.

She was flung violently into traffic lights outside Downing Street in central London after a protester hurled a bike and other missiles at her horse, causing the animal to bolt riderless back down Whitehall.

I have to agree with this sentiment and I am normally a Labour voter.

I do think this is an attempt by the Liberal Left to try and get some traction. They have not been able to through the normal democratic means, a general election, and for most of the Left, the whole Brexit thing has been a bit of a killer. They really thought all those large marches in London would win it back for them, disregarding the thoughts of the silent majority. Their only weapon is this identity politics. The privilege white argument being only its latest instalment.

Of course, the looters do them no favours, so the strategy is to downplay all that, as it doesn’t fit the narrative. Throw in the already split tensions across US society, helped in no small way by Trump, a terrible killing of someone being arrested, and you have your latest cause celebre.
