kropotkindersurprise: June 13 2020 - A planned Black Lives Matter demonstration in London was cancelled by the organization after far-right groups announced they would also be coming, ostensibly to “protect the statues“, but of course actually to look for a fight. Several hundred militants from London Black Revs, Malcolm X Movement and other local antiracist and antifascist groups decided to show up anyway, determined not to be intimidated by the far right. Thousands of drunk right-wingers showed up, drinking beer, giving Hitler salutes, fighting police and one of the drunks being filmed while pissing on a memrial he was claiming to be protecting. Some far-right groups managed to slip by police and attack the BLM crowd, and promptly got their asses handed to them. One of the far-right attackers was pictured being carried to an ambulance by BLM protesters after he lost the fight he instigated. Here’s a good reportback from the day.
