This is what BLM U.K. say they are about.

Who we are.
Black Lives Matter UK (BLMUK) is a coalition of black activists and organisers across the UK. We’ve been organising since 2016 for justice in our communities.
We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures that disproportionately harm black people in Britain and around the world. We build deep relationships across the diaspora and strategise to challenge the rise of the authoritarian right-wing across the world, from Brazil to Britain.
We’re developing new and exciting ways of organising that centre transparency, accountability, safety and healing for our organisers and our communities. BLMUK organises in the black radical tradition, using political education, direct action and political leadership toward black liberation.
Our commitment to all black lives means that we lift up the experiences of the most marginalised in our communities, including but not limited to working class queer, trans, undocumented, disabled, Muslim, sex workers, women/non-binary, HIV+ people.

The day we can't protest peacefully, as the vast majority do, is the day we can say goodbye to the UK.

And that is the key words.
But also where is the social distancing as that was non existent.

So basically they just hate White, straight, Men - that's me out then.
This is a just a group that has appropriated the title BLM from the american movement.
And I continue to be consistent in my appraisal of them.
They should call themselves British Blacks hate British White straight men - that fits better with their mission statement and they are nothing to do with the the american movement.

oh the bastion of the middle ground David Lammy, has already used the Cummings excuse this morning for that one.
and that this is a much too an important higher cause , than to worry about a piffling thing such as Social Distancing - perfectly fine.

There were no excuses for Cummings and likewise that same sentiment applies to David Lammy this morning either.

Re: Black Lives Matter
It doesn't say they hate anyone - it says they want to lift up marginalised groups it doesn't say they want to kick you down.
White brings us to the crux of English nationalism - it sees these concepts as a threat. Any group, proud of who they are, or their own identity and who aspires to equality is seen as a threat.

Sadly some in this country just don't get that.

Pierre said that, they didn't. It's telling that both of you see their language as a threat.
