THE mainstream media seem to have moved on from covering the Black Lives Matter protests which rocked Britain, the US and many other countries in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police.
Papers and news channels which carried opinion pieces and editorials arguing that this must be “a movement not a moment,” and that our response to racism needs to be deep and sustained, have been notable for the speed with which they found something else to focus on.
Yet, if we look at our society — from the tragic roll-call of deaths in custody to the black children failed by and excluded from our education system, from the high-profile politicians (including the Prime Minister) who utter racist bile with impunity to the migrants whose lives are torn apart by racist immigration laws, it is clear that something fundamental needs to change.
