The Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has warned that “there will be more violence” at Black Lives Matter protests set to descend on the US Embassy in London today.
Mr Farage also questions if the protests should be allowed to take place after the violent scenes witnessed against police officers as BLM protests turned into riots.
Writing to his over 1.5 million Twitter followers Mr Farage said: “There will be more violence in London at the US Embassy today. Should Boris Johnson and Sadiq Khan allow another protest to go ahead?”

Mr Farage also known by some as Mr Brexit also posted footage of police officers being attacked and one mounted officer being dismounted in the chaos, he wrote: “Shocking and awful scenes. It is total chaos out there. Where are you @BorisJohnson?”
Members of the public shared Mr Farage’s concerns with @Centaur_UK on Twitter writing: “Protest should not be allowed to go ahead. Police came down like a ton of bricks on anyone who protested against lockdown, but they’re allowing this BLM protest to go on. The hypocrisy from police, government and the news media is staggering!”

Ban the riot before it happens. 10 police were hospitalised yesterday and the police woman who came off the horse was lucky to survive. Use troops if we have to. In the meantime we get this crap from fools like Owen Jones”.
Others warned that the government is failing to recognise how angry the British people are, @askeyj_56 on Twitter responded to Mr Farage saying: “No, yesterdays should not have gone ahead either. To desecrate war memorials on D day is a disgrace. Government has no idea how angry people are. London is gone.”
