Helping shout 85258 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52940787 Certainly. Whether they are good people or bad people is immaterial to me. They can still volunteer to do stuff like loads of other people do. They can even crow about it if they find it tasteful to do so (I'm not sure the word 'secret' still applies though).

Yes everyone can use the same toilets and bus seats but if you are black you still more likely to be killed by the police. You are still more likely to be sent to prison. You are still more likely to be left off a voting register or have to queue for hours to vote. You are still more likely to receive a sub-standard education. If you go to the states and speak to black people especially in the southern states, they will tell you that things haven't changed anywhere near enough. Yeah I've spent the 3 days saying there is a long way to go and trying to put forward why some stats aren't conclusive proof of systematic racism and how some states are comparable to Britain decades ago etc etc. It would be exhausting to go again But it definitely has changed since the 1920's. Why would the Tulsa massacre need to be brought up? What positive solution is hidden in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Keep seeing the term black on black violence and black on white violence and people talking about the related statistics. Out of interest how are these “statistics” defined/who collates them? Also do we keep statistics for white on white violence and where can they be found?

ramit Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 We can trust authorities to not abuse a Covid19 tracing app. If you think this can only happen in the USA, i have a slightly used vehicle to sell you.

1of4 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 With everything that's been taking our attention recently. Anyone know how the talks with the EU are progressing? I did see Michael Gove informing Parliament that the government had no intention of extending the transition period. That they weren't prepared to give more money to the EU, money that could be spent on the NHS Have they recently re-parked that big red bus outside the Palace of Westminster. Also noticed that Parliament passed a new agricultural bill. A bill that allows for the lowering of standards of food being imported into the UK. Something that Johnson said he wouldn't allow to happen. I suppose that we should get use to hearing more and more lies from him and his government in the coming years. What other laws will we see this tory government replace, to the detriment of the nation? Maybe Employment laws and Health and safety laws for starters.
