Here's an article about how the Bristol BLM protest was organised (hint: it wasn't by BLM US or BLM UK):

You're right there, it was Momentum Bristol, I saw the tweets.

They attended, but they didn't organise it.

If this because they tweeted a video of the statue being toppled?

My mate also posted a video of that, but he didn't organise it either.

It's more of a grassroots thing, different protests are organised by different people and do not need to be affiliated to the BLM US or BLM UK organisations.

The fact a co-founder of an organisation identifies as Marxist doesn't mean the BLM movement is Marxist. If he had identified as a toy-train collector it wouldn't mean the organisation was about toy trains either. This is something else people have trouble realising. No political movements are created to represent every belief of the founder, they have a more specific purpose that is ultimately determined by the wider body of supporters. Organisation just helps create a common identity, like branding, that local spin-offs (or the Premier league) that share the primary objectives of the moment are free to use.

I would have been classed as a EDL supporting extreme right wing racist.

Good enough excuse?

Not really
You could have organised a demonstration with the aim of protecting those abused children but you didn't for fear of your own standing being affected so don't hide behind that excuse because it certainly ain't good enough
