Read our privacy policy Home secretary Priti Patel has condemned acts of “unacceptable thuggery” by anti-Black Lives Matter protesters who have clashed with police in London. Hundreds of mostly white men descended on Parliament Square on Saturday after far-right groups, such as Britain First, called on supporters to guard statues of historical figures. Mr Khan said the Metropolitan Police had obtained intelligence which showed far-right groups were planning to come to the capital to damage monuments of black and Asian historical figures. BLM organisers had urged supporters to avoid anti-racism rallies in central London this weekend due to safety fears over the potential for violent clashes with far-right groups.
