BLM Supporter Denies Damaging RAF Memorial Poppies

A Black Lives Matter supporter, accused of deliberately destroying poppy wreaths at an RAF Bomber Command WWII memorial, has
denied the charge.

Soulman Cosmic Freedom, 58, also shouted: “I am innocent,” from the dock at Southwark Crown Court, where he will return for trial on June 1, 2026.


Freedom, of Beech Avenue, Acton arrived at court wearing a forensic-style fully-length body overall adorned to the rear with an image of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence and the words: ‘Black Live Matter’.


He changed out of the outfit for the court hearing itself and also swapped his ‘Black Lives Matter’ facemask for a plain white alternative.


Freedom is charged with causing criminal damage to the poppy wreaths at the Green Park memorial, belonging to the City of Westminster, on June 30.


The memorial, which features seven bronze statues of Bomber Command airmen, was unveiled by the late Queen Elizabeth II on June 28, 2012 to commemorate the 55,573 aircrew who lost their lives.
