A woman who was challenged by police officers for wearing an anti-Boris Johnson T-shirt at a Black Lives Matter demonstration is launching legal action against them over the right to free speech and political debate. But that changed when she attended a BLM demonstration in central London on 3 June. When she and a friend left the demonstration and were walking to Oxford Circus she saw two police officers gesturing to her. Flynn filmed part of the incident on her phone and when she posted it on YouTube it went viral. Her lawyers, Joanna Khan and Michael Oswald at Bhatt Murphy Solicitors, are arguing that the officers were in breach of human rights legislation.
