Two British Black men are dead and nothing said.

Yves Sakila died in Dublin after being restrained by security guards and members of the public.

Lain Estridge died in Liverpool after police say his e-bike hit their stationary van.

Say their names.

Black people are almost 9 times likely to be stopped and searched, 5 times more likely to have force used against them. Much more likely to be charged and to be refused bail - National Police Chiefs' Council.
Real discrimination. Real two tiers.

Lots of talk about Black British culture today.

Just a polite reminder that @TheVoiceNews has been documenting that culture for 40+ years. 📰✊🏾

This is the front cover of the June issue - which is out now!

Read, learn and respect history! ❤️

Goodnight! x

The news I never wanted to see. I met Kanya a few times, the last being earlier this year. She has always been so kind and supportive. An absolute pioneer, who took the MOBO’s global. May she rest in peace 🕊️ and may her legacy continue.

What a sad day 💔

British army veteran Hetticia & her husband Vanderbilt who lost their citizenship due to the Home Office have been battling 5 years for compensation

Now in their 70s they say that ‘when the Home office is ticking their boxes, they don’t realise they’re ticking our lives away’

Police really think these 3 Black sisters walked into cold freezing ocean in Brighton late at night, fully clothed in their party outfit with their black hair nicely done to get wet? Just stop. That is not a Black thing. Then got killed by misjudging steep drop? Police better fully investigate! Rest in perfect peace Jane Adetoro, Christina Walter and Rebecca Walter 🙏🏾

The Voice is saddened to hear of the passing of Windrush pioneer Mr. Clarence Thompson MBE.🙏🏾

Mr. Clarence Thompson, born in Trinidad, was a social scientist, business teacher and chairman of the West Indian Standing Conference formed in 1958.

The West Indian Standing Conference was formed following the Notting Hill race riots, to promote the interests of the African-Caribbean community to fight discrimination in employment and housing.

Mr. Thompson received an MBE in 1965 for his work in race relations and activism.

Rest in Peace Mr. Thompson.🕊️

So the first victim was Muslim and the 2 Jewish victims after in golders green. That was a mental health issue. Why was he discharged so soon and why is it not seen as a multi religious issue. Interesting……

An award-winning Black bookshop is facing a “critical moment” to sell 1,000 books before the end of April so that Black authors ‘don’t lose a platform for their books.’ Afrori Books in Brighton has only four days left to reach its goal. https://t.co/3RvvvCLoxM

If you’re evicted by a private landlord and can’t afford to privately rent… your council will likely tell you not to leave and wait for you, your family, and your belongings to be turfed onto the street by bailiffs. If you don’t they’ll tell you they won’t help you as you’ve chosen to make yourself ‘intentionally homeless’.

That’s how skewed tackling homelessness in this country is.
