Black Lives Matter post fake ‘official Home Office’ adverts on bus stops around London
The posters slammed authorities, saying if 'you're black you're more likely to be arrested and found guilty' of a crime
BLACK Lives Matter has high-jacked the Home Office logo in a provocative advertisement slamming "standard British racism".
The poster, displayed on the streets in London, suggests the Home Office does not want people to attend the United Families and Friends Campaign (UFFC) March held over the weekend.
The advertisement reads: "Fam, we imprison blacks more disproportionately than the U.S.
"If you're black you're more likely to be arrested and found guilty.
"That's standard racism."
It then said: "Please do not attend the families of victims' memorial march for justice on Sat 29th October, Midday".
The poster included the logo of the Home Office, as well as that of the Crown Prosecution Office and Metropolitan Police.
Another advertisement reads: "Fam, when the Feds murder people the IPCC investigate.
"But, you know what's booky?
"8 out of 9 of IPCC senior investigators are Ex-Feds.
"1577 deaths since 1990. 0 convictions."

A third advertisement said: "Murder coverups. Killing women with 13ft of bounded tape. Shooting dead young unarmed men.
"We fully back our bobbies."
The advertisement shows a smiling police officer, holding a large firearm.
The Home Office was contacted but refused to comment.
The posters were aimed at raising awareness for the memorial held on October 29, encouraging friends and families of those who died while in the custody of the state to come forward.
The silent procession was also advertised on social media, with organisers saying: "Recent deaths in the US and the Black Lives Matter movement have raised the issue of police killings of civilians to an international level.
"Come and support the families of those who have died at the hands of police, prison and secure medical units in the UK."
