Cities across Europe have been ravaged by Black Lives Matter protests and riots, ostensibly in support of protests over the death of George Floyd, a citizen of the United States in the city of Minneapolis.
Activist groups across the European continent and in the United Kingdom have used the death of Mr Floyd to stage large scale protests in clear defiance of national lockdown regulations imposed on regular citizens during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Leftist groups have taken the opportunity to link instances of police violence in the United States with the situation faced by illegal migrants in Europe.

In Berlin, agitators threw stones and bottles at officers, resulting in the injury of a police officer and a press photographer, who suffered a blow to the head.
The Black Lives Matter protests in Hamburg saw 47 people arrested for breaching the peace and some for violating the Explosives Act.
The protestors shouted slogans such as “No to racism! Together we are strong”, while proclaiming their “solidarity” with the wider protest movement against racism, the black community, and migrant refugees in Germany, according to the German newspaper Die Welt.
The Hamburg police said that they were forced to use pepper spray against the “aggressive and disguised” mob during the BLM protest, saying: “with all understanding for emotions: attacks on police officers are...
