Johnson in saying it didn’t matter about Cummings began something very dangerous. I don’t condone this – no one in their right mind should – but respect for the rule of law has to come from the top. pic.twitter.com/LWjsRwpKXK

The media told us to cheer at the toppling of statues of Lenin in 1989, of Saddam in 2003. There was no talk of an ‘act of vandalism’ by Britain’s Home Secretary then.

Even by the standards of the history of colonialism Leopold's treatment of the Congo (which he held as a personal fiefdom) stands out as stunningly cruel. Adam Hochschild's "King Leopold's Ghost" is one of the most shocking, brilliant history books ever written. https://t.co/k86FJIwHt0

There are difficult trade-offs in protesting racial injustice versus staying at home amid a pandemic, & we can discuss that with good faith arguments.

But if you were calling to “liberate” America amid social distancing so that you could get a fucking hair cut, sit this one out.

This is what 99% of the black lives matter protests for George Floyd in London today looked like.
