Nigel Farage is saying on LBC that we have to ask ourselves "Who are Black Lives Matter?" and adding that they are "very much of the hard left". Why is this fascist on the radio?
"It's a little bit of Marxism with some anarchy thrown in too. Actually it's based on a false premise." He says "only" 13 out of 163 people who have died in police custody in the UK in recent years were black.
He's now saying that US police aren't racist either. "Black crime in America makes up 53 percent of homicides, 60 percent of robberies," he adds.
"Statistically you're more likely to die if you're white than if you're black."
He's claiming the BBC didn't cover the desecration of a statue yesterday.
"The idea that it's still the 1960s and the bad old days from Alabama isn't quite true," Farage says of America.
Now he's asking a caller why US police should be successfully prosecuted for doing their jobs.
The first caller says he supports today's protest outside the US embassy, which isn't exactly what Farage was hoping for.
But what bothers Farage most is the lack of social distancing at protests, of course.
A caller says the protest today shouldn't go ahead because BAME people are more likely to die from coronavirus than white people.
"Isn't it slightly dangerous to make George Floyd himself a hero figure?" Farage asks when the caller says he is going to stand in silence for 8 minutes. "They've got the impression that this injustice only happens to black people in America. All lives are equal, aren't they?"
Farage is very afraid of racism being called out.
"It's time to get back control of the virus," a listener writes to Farage.
"Where were the protesters when white girls were being abused by Asian men in Rotherham?" another listener writes to Farage.
Farage now upset that Cressida Dick said she understood why police officers took the knee.
"Do you understand, Cressida Dick, this is an anti-police movement!" Farage says.
