The problem is, these protestors are not just putting their own lives at risk by ignoring social distancing. They have families who they will return home to and pass on the virus to. As a teacher, I shall go back to work tomorrow to face a room full of 15 children. We can't social distance properly in a small classroom. Were any of their parents or siblings at the protests? The same can be said for lots of people being exposed to the virus in workplaces around the country.

Whereas I feel strongly that racism in all forms is abhorrent, it is not clear to me what these protestors want. They shout lots of slogans picked up on social media, but what are they actually protesting for? To raise awareness? I'd suggest that the very sight of thousands of people ignoring government warnings and putting people at risk is just adding fuel to a racist's fire. They won't change a racist's viewpoint in this way.

They only way to make change is to vote for politicians who care. How many of the people protesting in the streets voted for Johnson and his racist friends? We put a known racist in power.

If people want change...vote for it next time.
