Tory scum off our streets, Nazi scum off our streets! shouted left-wing protesters in central London.
Around a thousand demonstrators, many masked and holding antifa symbols, poured onto the streets of the British capital to protest the U.K.s election results. The Conservatives won in a landslide election the day before, likely guaranteeing Britains withdrawal from the EU at the end of next month.
The British capital descended into chaos as the Met Police struggled to contain protesters connected to antifa, socialist and communist groups. They had shut down the streets in and around Westminster. They demanded a revolution and the ousting of the Conservatives.
Protesters disobeyed police orders and shoved officers who attempted to block them from certain routes. At one point, officers brandished batons at the crowd to get them to comply.
The protesters held anti-Boris Johnson signs distributed by the Socialist Workers Party. Others, wearing masks, brandished antifa flags.
The ongoing chaotic protest echoes left-wing demonstrations-turned-riots in the U.S. after Donald Trumps electoral win in November 2016.
Coming to America in 11 months....
Yup, years ago cops would crack skulls with nightsticks. Today, they sooth the violent snowflakes.
These thugs need to learn what a democracy is.
And that is exactly how we conservatives reacted when Obama won......not. Ah. It appears that the barbarians were always within the gates.
As soon as I heard of riots in London, I knew it was their SWP. At least they put their name on posters and banners. The American version holds their protests in an outhouse t house with room left over for visitors.
I was in the heart of London, just outside of 10 Downing Street. Didn’t see anything like that at all.
