The story of London cannot be told without the story of Black Londoners.
Black On The Square brought thousands of people together to celebrate the culture, creativity and communities that help make our city what it is today.

Ironically, having £72 million will mean I can spend more money promoting the idea that I'm a man of the people and not just a rich, entitled tosser.

Reform is the richest party in Britain.
Its leaders are almost all millionaires.
It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires.
It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing.
So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites".

The balaclava blackshirted thugs are a result of a decade of politicians, tabloids and the broadcast media telling racists they have "legitimate concerns."
The normalisation of actual fascism rhetoric and action has led to this and is a far greater "legitimate concern" than any migrant on a boat.

For a few hours, Trafalgar Square stopped being a landmark and became a meeting place.
Now in its fourth year, Black On The Square shines a spotlight on the Black culture, talent and influence, which continues to shape London’s identity.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists.
Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years.
Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

Ryan Bridge - Founder of "Raise the Colours" flag protests - charged with 14 offences including common assault.
Danny Thomas - ringleader of Dover/Portsmouth thuggery - an ex-con jailed for attempted kidnap at knifepoint.
Almost like they're not "ordinary people with concerns" but criminals.

I for one have had enough of people who can barely speak English, living on benefits, ignoring our laws and wearing weird clothes that cover up their faces. So it was disappointing to see a few hundred of them gathered in Dover today.

Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.

UK media always asks the wrong questions. Instead of hounding high achieving people of colour , perhaps they'd consider asking why white people who fail spectacularly in government so easily walk into high paying media & consultancy work once they’ve exhausted that particular racket .
