Tories LOVE to preach RESPONSIBILITY to others, especially to the poor
BUT they never accept their own RESPONSIBILITY
Now for Covid they blame
BAME communities
Scientists
Foreigners
Care Homes
ANYONE except themselves

I was born in 1961
The British Empire still existed in Africa and elsewhere
The justification for Empire was that the British were superior humans to those they ruled over

We need to face history in order to move on
Proud to have been part of this today in #Harlesden. Huge congrats to the founders of @BrentBLM ! Make sure to give them a follow if you’re in the area and know that #BlackLivesMatter
So proud of the Brent residents organising this family friendly #BlackLivesMatters march.
These parents are marching for a world they want their children growing up in. A world free from racism and a world where you do not have a innocent black man murdered by racist police.

KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS
I am afraid we can’t rely on MSM & BBC to do it on our behalf with vigour, fearlessness & tenacity
IF u have no savings
IF u lose all your income
IF u can’t apply for Universal Credit as it is overloaded
(IF u don't have access to a computer)
IF after u are awarded UC, it is 5 weeks before u get money
IF u are not able to rely on friends etc
THEN, how can u feed your family?
