such ugly scenes. :(
Irony of Nazi salutes in front of the Cenotaph, etc.

Is there lots of beer drinking at BLM events?

Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
BLM are strict on no alcohol or drugs at their events. This is from last weekend - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/06/now-is-the-time-londons-black-lives-matter-rally-looks-like-a-turning-point
" The loose network of Black Lives Matter activists who have coordinated last week’s protests across the UK did their best to mitigate the risks in the crowd. They came equipped here with stocks of free masks and sanitiser. Imarn Ayton, 29, one of those coordinators, kicked off proceedings through a loudhailer: “We are not here for violence. If you commit violence today you are not for the cause. I don’t want to see no alcohol. I don’t want to see no weed. This is not a carnival. And keep your distance. You don’t need me to say that coronavirus is killing black people.” "
This is just racist idiots going out for a fight under the guise of a protest/"defending our monuments" because the pubs are shut and the football is off and they want an excuse for a fight.
BLM cancelled their event in London on hearing about the far rights plans as frankly it'd have been a bloodbath, detracted from the message completely and just led to a lot of "both sides as bad as each other".
The London anti-fascist assembly rescinded their call out for opposition to the event in response to the BLM statement. Understandable but worryingly emboldening for the far right IMO and they shouldn't be allowed to "demonstrate" unopposed in future. This will unfortunately lead to some massive civil unrest but frankly anyone thinking they can seig heil anywhere (let alone the fucking cenotaph) deserves to have the shit kicked out of them.

So no violence, just civil disobedience, vandalism and criminal damage.

No beer or weed ?
