5:05 pm
that many are saying it's not just a phenomenon in the u.s. it's worldwide and it's also here in the u.k. . these protests taking place not only against the backdrop of racism but that people are protesting indeed out there but also of the covert 19 pandemic which has hit the u.k. terribly hard hasn't it. yes for sure the u.k. has a box the highest number of deaths in europe and officially the u.k. is still in some look and so gatherings like this not really allowed however the police and the all thirty's and you've had boris johnson that have decided to take a step back because they are very felt that the feeling about people is very high and the people really want to have this out and they want to meet up and they all thirty's from what i can see are doing their best to keep it peaceful deescalate and allow people to have as much distance. between each other as possible
