		</div><p>British Prime Minister Theresa May has criticised Donald Trump for not singling out white supremacists for criticism following deadly unrest in Virginia, insisting there is &#8220;no equivalence&#8221; between fascists and their opponents.</p>
<p>Mrs May spoke out after the US President failed to condemn far-right demonstrators outright for violence in Charlottesville in which a woman was killed.</p>
<p>Mr Trump claimed &#8220;there is blame on all sides&#8221;, apparently equating the actions of far-right demonstrators with those protesting against them.</p>
<p>But Mrs May said: <i>&#8220;I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them. I think it is important for all those in positions of responsibility to condemn far-right views wherever we hear them.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Asked about Mr Trump&#8217;s comments in the wake of the violence, Mrs May told reporters: <i>&#8220;As I made clear at the weekend following the horrendous scenes that we saw in Charlottesville, I absolutely abhor the racism, the hatred and the violence that we have seen portrayed by these groups.</p>
<p>&#8220;The United Kingdom has taken action to ban far-right groups here, we have proscribed certain far- right groups here in the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>&#8220;And there is no equivalence.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Mrs May spoke after senior Tories condemned Mr Trump, whose comments have also provoked criticism from both Republicans and Democrats in the US.</p>
<p>Violence erupted in Charlottesville on Saturday after a group of far-right extremists gathered to protest against a decision to remove a statue of Confederate general Robert E Lee.</p>
<p>Heather Heyer, 32, later died when a car was driven into crowds as anti-fascist demonstrators clashed with the white supremacists.</p>
<p>Mr Trump faced heavy criticism in the immediate wake of the unrest after he said there was blame on &#8220;many sides&#8221;.</p>
<p>He took two days to condemn the actions of the far-right groups in particular, eventually branding the KKK, neo-Nazis and white supremacists &#8220;repugnant to everything that we hold dear as Americans&#8221;, in a statement on Monday.</p>
<p>However, during a turbulent press conference at his Manhattan residence on Tuesday, the president appeared to have reverted to his previous position.</p>
<p>He acknowledged there were &#8220;some very bad people&#8221; among the statue protesters, but added: <i>&#8220;You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>In the hours after the comments the hashtag #ImpeachTrump trended worldwide on Twitter.</p>
