Re: Black Lives Matter
Quote:
Quote from The Sun: A figurehead of the Black Lives Matter movement who has given speeches alongside Star Wars actor John Boyega believes the campaign has been "hijacked" by a group of far-Left activists.
Imarn Ayton, 29, said she organised the Black Lives Matter protest in London's Parliament Square on June 6 and a peaceful rally in Hyde Park on June 20.
In an outspoken attack, she vented her fury at Black Lives Matter UK, the campaign group that has attracted more than £1m in donations.
Black Lives Matter UK has supported defunding the police, overthrowing capitalism and "targeted sanctions against Israel's apartheid regime".
Actress Imarn told the Mail on Sunday: "The Black Lives Matter movement is a separate entity to Black Lives Matter UK. I have no contact with Black Lives Matter UK and they have not been on the ground once.
"A lot of people assume they were the driving force behind the protest when in actual fact they just support the protests.
"The issue with BLM UK is they have not revealed themselves, they have not been transparent. They are abolitionists, they believe in the removal of prisons, smashing capitalism and abolishing the police."
Black Lives Matter UK was formed in 2016 but rose to prominence this year after the death of George Floyd in the US and a campaign in Britain to tear down statues of figures linked to slavery or colonialism.
A crowdfunding campaign launched by the group on June 2 has raised £1.1 million.
