The Peckham protests reveal the poison of identity politics

The cult of victimhood is inflaming tensions between ethnic-minority groups.

Protesters gathered outside the shop, on Rye Lane , on Wednesday afternoon .

A video went viral, showing a middle-aged Asian man the shop’s owner violently restraining a young black woman, as she tried to bash him over the head with her basket.

At one point in the clip, he appears to place his hands around her neck.

A row broke out over the shop's no refunds’ policy on certain hair products.

FF shot to prominence in 2020 , during the summer of Black Lives Matter , when its members marched in military formation through Brixton wearing branded stab vests, face masks and the occasional balaclava.

FF’s east- London -based leader, Khari McKenzie (who also goes by his rap name Raspect ), was pictured at the Peckham protest.
