People who clashed with police in London are “common criminals”, the MP for Lichfield and Burntwood has said.

Footage of a Black Lives Matter protest on social media saw missiles hurled at officers on horseback.

The incident left one policewoman injured after her horse bolted and led to her colliding with a traffic light.

Conservative MP Michael Fabricant said:

> “These people aren’t celebrating black lives – these people are just common criminals.  
>  
> “Yobs ruined a peaceful demonstration and by breaking social distancing have endangered the lives of their parents, grandparents and friends.”  
>  
> Michael Fabricant MP

Other incidents in the capital this weekend saw graffiti left on the Cenotaph.

> “If it hadn’t been for the bravery of those who fought in the Second World War – the memory of whom they defile – the scum rioting in London would be speaking German and probably be shot.”  
>
