#BlackLivesMatter This month we shall be recording responses made to the killing of George Floyd on 25th May. Too many black people have died at the hands of state racism, institutional racism – and individual racism stoked by the first two. We can all work together to turn the tide of racism. It will be a long and difficult struggle – but George Floyd’s death has brought many young people into that fight. We may yet change the world. Should we name 25th May as George Floyd day, to ensure that we never forget?
“On what possible planet would Black Lives Matter draw inspiration from a story of fictional white people (and dragons) written by a white man, anyway? Raab again seems so irredeemably stupid that you can’t help thinking there’s a sinister, secret plan behind his apparent idiocy.”
