FEARS are growing over the "perfect storm" of far-right extremists and football hooligans clashing with Black Lives Matters supporters.

Football firms and far-right thugs have vowed to defend the nation's war memorials and statues, sparking concerns of violence on Britain's streets.

There are now concerns the anti-racist protests could spiral into even more clashes.

Ken Marsh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: “There’s an awful lot of preparation going on. I have been very critical of the way this has been managed. “We have got the perfect storm ahead of us this weekend, we have got planned protests and now Tommy Robinson and his agitators.”

The Democratic Football Lads Alliance, a network founded in 2017 that claims to oppose terrorism has told members to defend statues and war memorials. Anti-fascist organisation Hope Not Hate warned of violence on British streets, claiming the group were using the protests as cover.

Chief executive  Nick Lowles said: “While the group’s stated intention of protecting the war memorials might attract the sympathy of some, let us be in no doubt about their real objective — violence."

Tommy Robinson released an irate video last night about protestors defacing the statue of Winston Churchill in Westminster.

“If you’re a lad or you call yourself a lad, and you’re a football lad and you go to football and you give a **** at all about our country, our history, our culture, our identity. I expect you are going to be in London next Saturday.”

Scared

Why don't they just ban all protests in London for the next three months. I am sure the police the mayor and the government can get together and act in the public interest

Odds on Khan to come out with basically "I think it's disgusting that these men are trying to stop a moronic extremist mob tearing our landmarks and historical monuments down, we must allow this to happen, in the name of progressive diversity blah blah"...

BTW I can't remember it being mentioned on here, do people on here know (there is video evidence of this) that last weekend some guys were protecting the Churchill monument, the Police came in forc eand marched THEM away, then the monument got vandalised?

Whose side are they on?

Can we expect more of the same this weekend?

TheGoldenVision, they have used violence aplenty so far, Police running away. Let's see how violent they are against members of the public majority. My guess is they will hide behind the very people they attacked last week.

Most news channels stress again and again and again and again how the BLM protests are 'mainly peaceful'.

When people like TR do 'mainly peaceful' protests it always seems to be described in the media in a different manner.

Other groups like BLM of course do not raise funds?

Donations to Black Lives Matter UK and other groups top £1m

Black Lives Matter UK has said it is touched by people’s generosity after donations towards combating the causes and consequences of racism reached more than £1m.

By Tuesday afternoon, six days after launching a fundraising drive, Black Lives Matter UK (BLMUK) had raised more than £750,000. Money pledged to other groups, including organisations helping black people with their mental health, providing legal assistance for protesters and holding memorials for loved ones who have died from Covid-19, took the total figure to more than £1m.

The fake news is unbearable. The call is to protect and not protest. It’s not a demo, it’s a show of force to protect Churchill, the Cenotaph etc out of RESPECT.

TR has made NO call to arms. This is a call to stand. I shall be there and will do just that. No histrionics. It’s very sad that the old bill can’t be trusted to do their job Sad
