Good morning folks. We are four weeks post-Hurricane Beryl and we just hit 20% of the gofundme target 😭😭 £10k means we have enough to buy materials and pay for labour to rebuild one midsized roof! Thank you for your generosity. Please keep sharing 💛❤️💚 gofund.me/5d2f1fce

August 1, 1834: On this day the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into force, and slavery was abolished in the British Empire. Formerly enslaved people became "apprentices," so under the control of their former owners, until 1838. Slavery also continued in the areas controlled

Today marks Emancipation Day, when the Slavery Abolition Act came into force across the British Empire Instead of compensating slaves, the government took out its biggest ever loan to pay the slavers: £300bn in today's money. We only finished paying off this loan in 2015.

A racist lynch mob have set fire to another Holiday Inn Express hotel housing refugees. They are literally trying to burn alive people who have already fled war, torture and persecution. This is fascism Tamworth, England

When the far-right in Liverpool burn down their local library means they don’t care about the kids of this city, nor the country they are so passionate about saving. They are reflecting their own life issues and projecting it on their scapegoats to fix.

I just donated to 'Books for Spellow Lane' to help repair our library and replenish books for the kids. Every bit helps! Please donate, like, comment, and share to spread the word. 📚❤ #SupportSpellow gofund.me/3f0c3b1a

Not blogged in 2 yrs. Here are my reflection re this weekend's race riots. 'The symbolism of racial progression (albeit non-existent) alongside the respectability of racism, was a match waiting to be ignited... This whitelash finally clothed the empire.' bit.ly/46ATy9E

“This isn’t protest or freedom of speech, it’s racism and it should have no place in our society” National Museums Liverpool Director, Laura Pye, speaks out about the distressing scenes witnessed on the streets of Liverpool and across the UK. liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/news/press-rel…
