It’s unclear why mounted police officers were ordered to charge (slowly) at protestors down Whitehall.

Unsurprisingly, the move has escalated tensions. (Footage via @matthabusby)

Footage of the mounted police officer being knocked off the horse (via @bog_pc).

It appears that the horse was spooked & galloped towards the crowd.

It seems to run beneath a traffic sign which strikes the officer causing him/her to fall off backwards.

If you must protest, practice social distancing.

People in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square protesting against corruption & Benjamin Netanyahu. (Footage via @ItayBlumental).
The organisers of this ‘Black Flag' protest were required to mark spots for people to maintain distance from each other and provide face masks.

They were not protesting ‘corruption’ as I suggested above, but coalition negotiators btw Netanyahu & Gantz.

Thanks to those people who pointed out that this #SocialDistancing demo in Israel resembles variously:

1) Donald Trumps sparsely attended inauguration;

2) René Magritte’s Golconda (“It’s Raining Men”);

3) Matt Hancock’s “1984” speech to NHS staff at the Nightingale Hospital. ImageImageImageImage
