This morning, there have already been scuffles between police and protesters in Glasgow as crowds have marched on George Square.

Videos have emerged this morning of protesters clashing with officers, who have now started to kettle people in the square.

Greater Glasgow police also announced this morning they have temporarily imposed powers that allow them to search any person or vehicle in the greater area of the city.

Saturday 19th June 2020

Black Lives Matter protestors are preparing to march on UK cities for the fourth consecutive weekend as scuffles break out in Glasgow.

Police are expecting crowds of anti-racism demonstrators to take to the streets in London as well as cities including Birmingham.


Organisers said the Say No to Racism event is aimed at 'sending a positive anti-racist message from Glasgow's George Square to the world on World Refugee Day'.

Supporters include Stand Up To Racism, Glasgow Campaign to Welcome Refugees, Positive Action in Housing, Afghan Human Rights Foundation and unions.


Arrivals included members of the Green Brigade, linked to Celtic ultras.

Forces have warned against violence and urged crowds to follow social distancing rules introduced at the height of the pandemic.

Twenty-four people have been charged with offences in connection with the BLM protests and far-Right counter-demonstrations across the UK. Ten have been charged in relation to protests in London over the past three weekends.



Attendees were asked to wear masks, adhere to two-metre distancing rules and not to travel farther than public health advice allows.

On Friday night, Police Scotland, Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf and the head of Glasgow City Council called on the public not to gather at the location.

Clashes have broken out over recent weeks at the square, including violent scenes from a far-Right group on Wednesday.

Chief Superintendent Hazel Hendren of Greater Glasgow said: 'The disgraceful scenes we have witnessed in George Square are completely unacceptable and a robust policing response is in place for anyone intent on causing violent disruption.'

'Please do not come to George Square tomorrow.'

At least six people were arrested on Wednesday following scenes labelled 'disgraceful' by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Met Police Commander for Specialist Crime Alex Murray revealed that over 100 officers have been assaulted since the end of May.


Assistant chief constable Bernard Higgins said Police Scotland is 'absolutely committed to respecting people's rights to freely and peacefully express their views'.

Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken said: 'Please do not come to George Square tomorrow - you will put yourself and others at risk.

'We are at a crucial point in our journey out of lockdown and it remains the case that it is still not safe to gather in large crowds.

'I understand that many will want to make their voices heard. But, for now, I urge you to find alternative means of doing so.'

It comes as Met Police Commander for Specialist Crime, Alex Murray, revealed that over 100 officers have been assaulted since the end of May.

Police have also urged people not to protest during the pandemic, while lockdown rules still prevent mass gatherings in England.

Ahead of protests in London today, Commander Murray said: 'I really hope we're not going to see what we saw last weekend or the weekend before.

'We don't have any information there's anyone from the Right wing attending but we have got information that large crowds of people will be attending.'

In the UK capital, monuments including the statue of Winston Churchill were boarded up after his plinth was defaced.

Though the covers have been removed, police have no plans to position large numbers of officers around them to protect them.

Commander Murray added: 'We won't have pre-prepared cordons around statues, but we will act on intelligence and information and if we hear something like that is planned then we would act as the public would expect us to.

'The police have never asked for those statues to be protected.

'That's a matter for the local authority. Our focus is on reducing violence and protecting the public, protecting citizens.

'But we will also investigate if criminal damage takes place. So we will prevent violence and we'll also try to prevent criminal damage.'

A peaceful protest is understandable ( but not with virus still very active) but the more these moronic, anti establishment anarchists riot, destroy, vandalised and assault (black & white) they lose all public support from law abiding Joe public hence achieving nothing and creating a bigger wedge in society. Police need to get heavy handed.

Clearly no lessons learned by either side, i.e. the virus-spreading protestors or the inept Government seemingly too scared to simply enforce the ban already in place! :(

Not saying the basis of the protest (lives matter) isn't relevant but as I've said elsewhere, timing is everything and they've got this massively wrong :(

They dont even know who is running the campaign and where the money is going

Searching ‘Black Lives Matter UK’ on GoFundMe reveals more than 200 separate appeals in addition to the one that has raised £1 million, so vetting every one of them may take some time.

So who is behind the group? And how were those who dreamt up its policy goals appointed?

Bizarrely, Black Lives Matter UK is entirely anonymous, offering no transparency on who controls it or where its money will be spent.

Despite having existed since July 2016, when its Twitter and Facebook accounts were created, it has no physical address or website. It has no formal governing structure or constitution, no chief executive, chairman or board of trustees. It is not registered as a charity or as a non-profit organisation. It has never filed accounts and its spending has never been audited.

That's interesting from the daily mail report

Very wrong timing I agree

Protest in normal times peacefully, fine

But in a pandemic with thousands upon thousands of ordinary folk losing there lives (black, white & brown)

Is a shameful, not caring thumbs up to the system, ordinary folk act of utter shame and disregard for others

Folk were unable to hug loved ones in there last moments, NHS lives lost trying to help

Yet these anarchists, as for me a majority of them are can group up, protest, hurt officers

And very soon the NHS staff, who they seem to have zero respect for

may well be the ones trying to save there lives if the virus spreads to them

NHS putting there own lives at risk, and at risk because of these clowns

But moreso, the blame has to be with the government and there pathetic weakness in being strong

And shutting all these protests down

Boris, wake up you dithering buffoon,

And sort it.

For anyone that wants to deny BLM are overtly Marxist organisation that are using an anti-racism narrative to sneak in their ideology of political revolt just take 40 seconds to listen to the founder BLM Patrisse Cullors.

Short clip of this interview (36 seconds long) is @ https://www.reddit.com/r/CensoredTV/com ... _marxists/

For those that can access the link...

"We actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alyssia [the other co-founder] in particular are trained organisers, we are trained marxists, we are super versed on ideological theories and what we are trying to do is build a movement that could be utilised by many, many black folk."

"We don't necessarily want to be the vanguard of this movement we have tried to put out a political frame that is about centreing who we think are the most vulnerable in the black community and we do have some clear direction in where we want to take this movement."

"Black to me is both about race that has been constructed but it is also a political statement and a political framework and I think it is important."

"We have to hold blackness as a broader framework than the colour skin we are in but as a political statement"

They are playing us for fools. Fanning the flames of a non-existent race war to tear us apart and get us at each others throats. Of course prejudice exists. It is a default of human nature but none of the statistics anywhere would point to the UK being a racist country. Nor the US for that matter.

They are literally using our own empathy and compassion to turn us on each other. We are being manipulated for insidious reasons. Please don't let them.

Full interview is @ https://youtu.be/kCghDx5qN4s

Note: This interview has already been unlisted. The link still works but it is uncertain how this will stay up for.

This is my last post on this topic as it is seriously eating away at me. Gonna unplug and just hope the world sorts its shit out. My wife reckons it'll blow over. I'm not so sure, but either way there's not a lot I can do.

Here's hoping for a City win tomorrow at least to get a smile on our faces.

I see these lawbreakers are out in force again today.

Ignoring lockdown measures advice

Selfish morons.

Pity the hard working NHS staff that must be aghast at these clowns and although doing above and beyond to save Covid suffers, they must now prepare themselves for a probable spike.

Thank you BLM. Pathetic excuse to push your misguided and dangerous agenda

Trained artists who just happen to be super versed in ideological theories? She says it herself literally in the next breath.

Maybe I'm going mad and your right. Just seemed fairly clear message to me.

Ladies and Gents and others, may I introduce you to a Mr David Wilks-Carmichael, he is the sole Director listed on Companies House of Black Lives Matter Ltd, it's not a registered charity but a normal limited company. I imagine the idiots that have funded BLM on go fund me are paying directly to this company, he can therefore pay himself from the proceeds. Can't tell if the funds go to this company, but either way if not, I imagine this joker is setting up something similar by way of a funding page. This company by the way was set up rather enterprisingly on the 8th June, just as things were warming up in full swing for BLM

Interesting also is that BLM being avowed anti white boy capitalism in general should have someone like Mr Wilks Carmichael needing a limited company, and that this same fellow has at various times had 17 differently Directorships of different companies, you can see them here if you want to verify:
https://beta.companieshouse...

From what I can see none of these 17 companies has ever filed accounts, and therefore presumably no tax returns, so whatever money has come into these, he's likely scarpered off with. I think he's dissolving these companies right at the point of filing dates.

Odder still is that such an anti capitalist lists his occupation in many of these companies as a 'Venture Capital Consultant', how street can you get.

May be wrong but I think Patrick Hutchinson,

a gammon from BLM mob, once worked for
his venture capital company.

BLM website takes you to BluDems if you are donating. If you follow the links all the way to payment in very small print it says BluDems is the campaign funding of American Democrats. This is on the USA site and I suspect also on every other BLM website.

For those who care to look into it, it seems Ferguson's brother in the US has raised millions through subscriptions aside from what's going to the Dems.
