James Cleverly says condemnation does not denote support for BLM’s agenda
A government minister has condemned as “completely wrong” Millwall fans who booed players for taking a knee at the weekend, while saying this did not denote support for the political aims of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
The comments by James Cleverly, a Foreign Office minister who was formerly the Conservative party chair, contrast with the views of George Eustice, the environment secretary, who declined to criticise the Millwall fans’ behaviour.
