Boris Johnson said the emotions triggered by the death of George Floyd in the US could not be ignored, and the British government had to do more to fight prejudice towards people from black and minority ethnic groups. The death of Floyd, an unarmed African-American, has sparked demonstrations around the world over police brutality. Referencing demonstrations across the UK, Johnson warned those who attacked public property or the police would ‘face the full force of the law’, and said he did not support ‘those who flout the rules on social distancing’.
