Shortly after the Black Lives Matter protests which have been taking place worldwide, and in London this week, the Right wing have assembled to protect the statues and the monuments that are held dear to the UK, in Central London.
Right wing claim to be protesting for the protection of the monuments and statues held here during the black lives matter protests, but as the black lives matter official protest has been cancelled for Saturday 13th June, questions are raised , was cancelling the protests the right thing to do? Are Right wing protesting for what they claim to be?

As we have witnessed world wide, recent protests for black lives matter has incited in the arrests of many violent, and none violent protesters. In the video we can see how violently aggressive Right wing protesters are being towards the police. Will things get handled the same way?
Anti racism protesters have met with the Right wing, even despite the efforts made by police to prevent happening, which created tension as small groups broke out into fights, eventually being handled by police.
Efforts are being made by the police to contain the protests and limit the amount of violence in the city, and a section 60 has been opened, which covers a large area of Central London, from Hyde Park to Battersea, to Vauxhall and Soho.
