Waziri Mkuu wa Uingereza, amesema raia wana haki ya kuandamana lakini wanaoleta fujo wanapaswa kuchukuliwa hatua. Amesema wameacha lengo la msingi la maandamano hayo na kufanya fujo
Waandamanaji mjini London wamewafanya polisi kukimbia baada ya kuwashambulia kwa chupa. Polis 8 wamejeruhiwa na waandamanaji 12 wamekamatwa kwa vurugu zilizotokea katika maandamano yaliyozuka Jumapili
Boris Johnson ameandika kwenye ukurasa wake wa twitter kuwa watu wanahaki ya kuandamana kwa amani na wanapaswa kufuatwa maelekezo ya kuzingatia umbali kati ya mtu na mtu, lakini hawana haki ya kuwashambulia polisi

Anti-racism protests have been "subverted by thuggery" that betrays their cause, the prime minister has said.
Boris Johnson was speaking after trouble flared for a second day in central London, with police drawing their batons and scuffling with protesters as they tried to force their way through to a restricted area.
Police were forced to run as bottles were thrown near the stone arches at the junction of King Charles Street and Whitehall.
Eight officers were injured after the trouble started at around 7.30pm on Sunday with the Met Police saying 12 people were arrested for public order offences.
The prime minister tweeted: "People have a right to protest peacefully & while observing social distancing but they have no right to attack the police.
"These demonstrations have been subverted by thuggery - and they are a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve. Those responsible will be held to account."
A statue of a slave trader and merchant, which has been the subject of an 11,000-strong petition to have it removed, was also pulled down and dumped in the harbour in Bristol.
It came a day after 14 police were hurt in clashes on London's Whitehall - near The Cenotaph and Downing Street, with officers on horseback forced to charge at troublemakers.
Sky correspondent Mark White said Sunday's disorder continued into the night as several small groups set bins alight, smashed windows and threw bottles as police tried to enforce a dispersal notice in Westminster.
The earlier flare-up, involving about a few hundred protesters, came amid a second day of mainly peaceful demonstrations in UK cities.
People took to the streets of cities such as Edinburgh and Manchester to support the Black Lives Matter movement and call for justice over the killing of George Floyd in America two weeks ago.
Elsewhere, the operational patrol unit of Warwickshire Police tweeted that the M6 southbound was temporarily closed shortly after 6pm due to pedestrian protesters blocking the carriageway at Junction 3.
The force said the M6 began to reopen an hour later, as demonstrators "headed into Coventry at Junction 2".
Thousands of people with cardboard placards descended on the US embassy in London, with the crowd snaking down the road and chanting for justice and equality.
Free masks, gloves and hand gel were being given out amid concerns from the likes of the health secretary - who told Sky News the protests could lead to a rise in coronavirus infections.
