Lady Doreen Lawrence, whose son Stephen was murdered by racists in 1993, has described the government-commissioned report on race as a ‘’green light for racists’’.

Civil rights campaigner Lady Doreen Lawrence condemns the latest UK Government-backed report into the non-existence of institutional racism as a licence for racists in the wake of disturbing evidence of racism in the Met Police

‘’My son was murdered because of racism. […] Once you start covering it up it is giving the green light to racists’’.

Arguably, one of the most profound effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the accelerated shift from the office to working from home (WFH).

‘It’s a Sin’ by Russell T Davies is one of the best dramas to have been made by Channel 4

Yesterday, Fenella and I watched the entire series starting at 9pm Friday night and finishing at 2am this morning.

It’s one of the best dramas to have been made by Channel 4 and is particularly poignant for those who grew up with 80s music as the soundtrack to their 20s and watched the horrors of the AIDS epidemic destroy young lives and families struggling to cope with the loss it created – a parallel in some ways (not every way) to the current Covid pandemic.

It certainly beats being related to Ardipithecus ramidus, aka “Ardi”, the closest thing yet found to the common ancestor of both chimps and humans dating back 4.4m years ago!
