Today, we remember the killing of Blair Peach by police, while protesting against a National Front rally 45yrs ago. The continuing reluctance to investigate racial killings has been highlighted again by persistent failings in the Stephen Lawrence murder case. This must change!

For #StephenLawrenceDay , please continue to support the important work of the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation.

Today we remember the life and legacy of Stephen Lawrence who was murdered in a racist attack in 1993. We think of his parents, Doreen and Neville, and all family and friend's, who fight tirelessly for racial equity and justice. #StephenLawrenceDay

Over half of Black children, and 47% of Asian children are living in poverty.

Utterly shocking in 2024 Britain, and inexcusable. This is a political choice.

More bullshit from the IOPC, calling for more 'proportionate' strip searching, when black children are 6 x more likely to face these searches and over half have taken place without an appropriate adult.

Not 'disproportionate': just racist and illegal bbc.com/news/uk-685551…

It's distressing to see a Black boy in Carlisle being racially attacked. We are aware that arrests have been made, however we hope the perpetrators will face charges for their actions. We send solidarity to the child and antiracistcumbria for their support for him and his family.

For decades, a controversial unproven medical condition rooted in pseudoscience has been routinely used in Britain to explain away police killings, particularly of Black men, involving violent and inherently dangerous restraint methods theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…
