I’m getting irritated by those @BBCNewsnight @itvnews telling us pandemic has “revealed” inequalities. Theyve not been hidden just ignored by politicians, media, more advantaged public. CV19 may make it harder but without public pressure for change they’ll be ignored again soon

A personal opinion : I hate being described as BAME or “a BAME person”. It is an OK acronym for speed and ease in writing, but isn’t universally understood and is weird in conversation. I still think it is better to refer to being from “ethnic minorities” or specific identities.

Banksy strikes again. This time with a fitting tribute to George Floyd, “At first I thought I should just shut up and listen to black people about this issue....”.

[Saul Becker @profsaulbecker]

I stand with my Black friends, colleagues and students to condemn the racism, injustices, inequalities and oppressions that Black and people of colour experience daily - not just in the USA - but in the UK and globally. #BlackLivesMatter

FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.

The #coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.

To protect yourself:
-keep 1m distance from others
-disinfect surfaces frequently
-wash/rub your 👐
-avoid touching your 👀👃👄

I'm tweeting this article again as it makes some very important points. As soon as it became known that some of the victims were #Vietnamese, a patronising & disempowering narrative began to circulate in the media...
