British PM says ‘no equivalence’ in Charlottesville clashes

Far-right views should always be condemned and there can be no equivalence with opponents of fascism, British Prime Minister Theresa May says, in comments that implicitly criticize US President Donald Trump.

In the Virginia college town of Charlottesville on Saturday, a rally by neo-Nazis and white supremacists over the removal of a Confederate statue erupted in clashes with counter-demonstrators.

Trump has sparked a political firestorm by reiterating his views yesterday that there was “blame on both sides” for Saturday’s violence.
