Within the past two weeks, on a visit to the city of my birth, London, I have committed:
1) The crime of being Black while studying the interior of a church (I did church architecture as part of pre 6th form O Level art &, though an atheist from the age of six, retain an interest in the buildings). The only other civilian in the church, a worshiper, had clearly felt threatened and had called the Priest who enquired as to why I was in the building.

2) The crime of being Black while hailing a taxi for hire (taxi sign on) in broad daylight.
The first driver saw me well enough to deliver a comedic wave before driving on; the second merely looked me in the eyes, dismissed me and drove on.
&
3) The crime of not being what I apparently, in this instance, had a duty to be:
After dinner in my hotel, I've just been racially profiled by another guest (vanilla) who assumed I was a member of staff as we all waited for the lift/elevator on our way to our rooms.

The last of these instances made me laugh. The first two were annoying. As I told a young, white and helpful policeman many years ago, "You get used to it".
He replied, "You shouldn't have to!".

Due to a wet forecast our Sandhurst show today will now take place in Benenden Village Hall. We've been working hard to find a venue in Sandhurst but can't find one big enough. Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience. https://t.co/cSngtAEMjN

Casting for “The English Soldier” by Drew Paterson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“A Scottish girl meets an English Soldier. A love story from 1944 has tragic repercussions over half a century later when a family secret is finally revealed by a demented old lady’s, perhaps unreliable, memories.”

Such courage

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

This is wonderful! This phrase might be over used these days, but Bill Nighy - What a legend!
