Will not support 'Black Lives Matter' agitation: British Home Minister Priti PatelHome Minister Patel castigated the Black Lives Matter agitation saying, ‘I don’t believe in kneeling to show respect. I will not do that. I don’t even have the time to do that. There are many ways available to express an opinion. The way the Black Lives Matter agitation was conducted in the last year was not appropriate. These protests were horrible. In the United Kingdom, some busts were smashed and pulled down from the pedestal. I don’t believe in rewriting history. There can be discussions on this issue in a different way.’
