The Daily Mail Richard Littlejohn said the pictures of police officers pinning a young woman to the ground during a peaceful protest were the Met’s ‘George Floyd moment.’ “No one died, fortunately, but I defy anybody to look at those disgusting images without being overwhelmed by a stomach-churning sense of revulsion,” he said. “What the hell were they thinking? Who authorised this heavy-handed brutality?” He said the Duchess of Cambridge’s presence at the scene earlier in the day demonstrated the depth of feeling women had at Sarah’s murder. “The dreadful killing of Sarah Everard, allegedly by a copper employed to protect the public, has released a tsunami of demons normally suppressed by women,” he added. “So if young women, almost all of whom are at no risk from coronavirus, wish to gather on Clapham Common for a candelit vigil, let them get on with it.”
