‘Leftist middle class anarchists’ in London attempt to justify violence

The London protests were full of “middle class, leftist, university educated anarchists” who were excusing and justifying the looting seen across the US according to Spiked editor Brendan O’Neill.

Thousands of Londoners took to the streets on Sunday in solidarity with the ongoing US protests over the death of unarmed African American George Floyd.

Demonstrators in the city could be heard chanting “black lives matter” and “say my name George Floyd” in the central London squares.

“They claim they’re offering solidarity to George Floyd and to legitimate protests in America, but what they’re also doing is excusing or even justifying some of the looting that we’ve seen,” Mr O’Neill.

Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt the protesters in London are “offering these convoluted justifications for what is an incredibly destructive form of behaviour”.

He pointed to the similarities in “police tactics” currently used in the US to those of French police during the Yellow vests movements, while “these people in London didn’t get off their couches and didn’t protest”.

“Police violence or police brutality or police excess is bad in Trump’s America but absolutely fine in Macron’s France”.
