Pritti Patel is telling the Black Lives Matter protesters to go back to their houses instead of carrying out demonstrations this weekend.
She implores the public to see reason, as the Home Secretary fears for a massive breakout event if the protests were to be carried out as it the whole era of coronavirus ‘remains a real threat’ She wrote on Twitter: ‘Please for the safety of all of us, do not attend large gatherings – including protests – of more than six people this weekend. ‘As Matt Hancock said, coronavirus remains a real threat and people must protect themselves and their families from this horrific disease.’
The quoted Mr Hancock told the daily Downing Street briefing on Friday he could understand why people were ‘deeply upset’, but said people in the UK should not attend large gatherings.
He added: ‘Like so many I am appalled by the death of George Floyd and I understand why people are deeply upset but we are still facing a health crisis and coronavirus remains a real threat. The reason that it is vital that people stick to the rules this weekend is to protect themselves and their family from this horrific disease.
So please, for the safety of your loved ones, do not attend large gatherings including demonstrations of more than six people.’
The double warnings from the respective Secretaries of the Tory Cabinet of the HMQ’s government precedes the expected demonstrations set to happen in Parliament Square in London on Saturday, and near the US Embassy also at latter the following day.
4000 people have been projected to take part in the events at Bristol, including their march crossing the whole perimeter of the city until Castle PArk on Sunday, according to Avon and Somerset police.
People got down on one knee for an anti-racism protest in London’s Trafalgar Square despite police warning that such mass demonstrations could be viewed as unlawful.
Those who took part in the tribute to Floyd knelt two metres apart in the shadow of Nelson’s Column, wore masks and carried homemade placards which condemned racism and brutality, according to the local media. The protests are now spreading like wildfire across the European continent, as well as taking place in Canada and elsewhere in the Americas as well.
