Tensions flare as far-right thugs and football hooligans front up to riot police at Cenotaph as pro-statue activists surround Churchill memorial after Black Lives Matter called for it to be removed on day of protests at 13 UK towns

Hundreds of hooligans have rushed up to the police blockade outside the Cenotaph during a fierce counter-protest to today's Black Lives Matter rally in London. Riot squads armed with batons and shields are holding a line in the middle of Westminster to prevent the two groups from clashing. Crowds of pro-statue campaigners surrounded the monument of Winston Churchill, which has been boarded up by Sadiq Khan for fear of it becoming a 'flashpoint' of far-right violence.

If defending one's culture and history makes one a "hooligan" then I am a hooligan.

Just like in school, the teacher punishes the kid for hitting back after the bully has already given him a swirly.

I love how the people who are simply trying to put up a defense from having their culture destroyed are attacked as far right hooligans.

The leftists are “activists” and “protestors” but the right-wing are “hooligans” and “louts”.

More of the marxist/muslim alliance’s erasure of the hosts identity, heritage and history.
It’s an enemy attack on the host culture and the host needs to respond to survive or it can continue to be eroded until it’s gone

Goes to show that BLM is not only international but out to destroy Western Civ. Seems to me that many BLM members must be muslims and this would be another tactic to be used were ISIS failed.

Observe the different way the UK Daily Mail treats the “far right” - hooligans, thugs, goons - as opposed to the “largely peaceful demonstrators” of last week. You know, that would be the BLM/ Antifa crowd that attacked and attempted to kill police, assaulted civilians, destroyed anything they could reach...yeah, that sounds pretty peaceful to me.

The article is nauseating.

So the pesky black looters and arsonists and killers are “peaceful protesters” yet a bunch of white youth out protecting the statues of Winston Churchill are “ far right thugs and hooligans”?
Only in the Orwellian Daily Mail.
I remember back in the day when the Daily Mail the was a real newspaper instead of a Pravda wannabe.

Yup.
Just went and threw up after reading it.
And the Antifa/BLM didn't merely attempt to kill police officers, weren't two cops murdered the other day somewhere in California?
And wasn't David Dorn (ex police captain) shot dead in cold blood by a bunch of BLM looters?

BLM coordinators have formally scrapped today’s demonstration for fear of clashes

Well we’ve all been writing off Blighty and Oz as too far gone to help but the “hooligans, lots and far right thugs have stepped up where we have not...so there’s that. ..

The Brits are victims of the lying fake news just as we are. Notice how they call those defending Churchill thugs and hooligans.

As opposed to “far left” thugs of blm trying to destroy history. I know, I know. The blmers will say it’s not them doing it but some other community service group. Doesn’t the taliban also destroy history?

The hundreds of thousands(?) of PROtesters are YUGELY outnumbered by tens(hundreds?) of millions of folks that are totally disgusted with this entire debacle. But are they/we even considered? Probably too busy maintaining their households and paying bills and trying to do some meaningful activity.

Yellow journalism at it's finest. What a POS for an author.

I see violence in our future.

Only in today’s media would someone who doesn’t want a statue of Winston Churchill being torn down is “Far Right”

The UK will get their own “Fine People” Hoax in the next week, I’m sure.
