At least 4,000 Africans chanting “black lives matter” and other anti-white racial epithets rioted in London’s famous Hyde Park last night. Several blacks were stabbed, at least five police officers were injured, and a supermarket was ransacked.

The Africans were only halted in their mayhem by rigorous police action in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

According to the Metro newspaper, the violence erupted as the “spontaneous event” disrupted into chaos. Video footage showed Africans chasing people with knives “through the busy streets of London.”

The large crowd of Africans gathered in the park as Britain experienced its hottest day of the year, with temperatures reaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius). As the crowd grew ever larger—spurred on by social media—the Africans turned “hostile towards officers,” the Metro said in an understatement.

“People were heard chanting ‘black lives matter’ throughout the evening as more people arrived.”

Two people who were not identified by police were stabbed when “violence flared” at around 8.40 p.m. Police said both were taken to the hospital where one received treatment for nonlife-threatening injuries. The condition of the second victim is not known.

Police units moved in to disperse the crowds and the operation lasted into the early hours of Wednesday morning, the Metro concluded.

Of course, the Metro refused to identify the rioters by race, even though the photographs and video make that clear. The media’s refusal to identify nonwhites by race in criminal situations is in marked contrast to their behavior whenever any white person is involved in some overt criminal act which can be racially tagged—then the perpetrator is instantly labelled as a “white racist” or such like.

The Daily Mail coverage of the violence, for example, referred only to “youths”—a word which has become the controlled media’s alternative to “nonwhite.”

In their coverage, the Daily Mail in fact exceeded itself in its deliberate farcical deception by referring to the stabbed Africans as “revelers.”

London became a majority nonwhite city in 2010, when statistics from that year’s census showed that 45 percent—or 3.7 million people—of the capital’s population classed themselves as white Britons. This was down from 58 percent—or 4.3 million—in 2001.

This figure will have declined even further in the intervening years since that census was taken.
