    Heartbroken to read of more young people killed in London. So many ppl are working tirelessly in communities to support young ppl but they need wider support, from government but also all of us - these children and their communities deserve so much more

    Tweeting on twitter is great & all (hey I do it) but it's not exactly the best way to show your commitment to antiracism, still less indicates youve taken action against racial injustice. Start in yr own organisation, school, neighbourhood (& not just w/unconscious bias training)

    The idea that giving people a UBI will make them lazy is rooted in miserable assumptions about human nature. Cheer yourself up by finding out what people really do when you give them free money...

    What would you do with free money?

    Another knee- jerk response by Met police & govt tends to be stronger sentencing even though research has shown that it has little/no deterrence effect - partic on young ppl. There is no Q that we need a multi-agency & preventative approach.

    "We value the contribution made by Commonwealth citizens who have made a life in the UK” ... we came as British citizens & were turned into immigrants ... euphemising history doesn't actually change the facts ...
