Photo taken at Hyde Park yesterday. Just to head off the 'thAt DoEsnT lOok liKe sOcial dIstaNcIng' comments. Protesters felt they had to come despite the pandemic, despite the risk. That's how desperate they feel about this issue
I'm not white. But I'm severely annoyed at this. I have friends and family who are BME working in healthcare on the front line. This kind of shit is going to kill them. And going to kill more BME people than the US cops could this year. It's the height of stupidity
Im sick of the people who say "this is more important than covid" when 2 weeks ago the same people were telling everyone who took a step outside they were killers for spreading the disease and mad about people wanting to work so their lives weren't ruined.
Like yes blm is important movement. Is it worth going out in streets though without social distancing when thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions could die?!?!? That's what everyone was yelling just two weeks ago but now it doesn't matter at all?!?!

Ah man. I’m totally with the protestors in spirit, but...coronavirus.
I’m a healthcare professional. It’s known that there was a higher COVID19 death rate in healthcare professionals of black/minority ethnic background.
Not intentional, but yes, this could well contribute to a second wave.
