 On 18 June 2020, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab aroused controversy when he said in a radio interview that the "taking the knee" gesture associated with Black Lives Matter "feels to me like a symbol of subjugation and subordination, rather than one of liberation and emancipation", and suggested that it had originated in the TV series "Game of Thrones".On 28 June 2020, Black Lives Matter UK faced criticism for making a series of tweets from their verified Twitter account regarding Israel, including one that claims "mainstream British politics is gagged of the right to critique Zionism".The Premier League, who are carrying the Black Lives Matter logo on their football shirts for the rest of the 2019/20 season, subsequently said that attempts by groups to hijack the cause to suit their own political ends are entirely unwelcome.
