Hi Alan
What is really significant about all this, though, is that this shocking racism
has cost the Home Secretary, one of the high offices of the British State, her
job, and it has transformed the terms of the debate on race here.Even in sleepy
old Harlow -where anti racist campaigners have been regularly abused in the
past couple of years- I know, I've been threatened and even spat on - a
campaign stall last Saturday calling for Rudd's ( and May's) resignation was
warmly supported.The local MP ( from May's party) and his supporters were
campaigning nearby for this Thursday local elections..
They packed up when we started shouting -'How do you know when a Tory is lying?
-Their lips move!'
Across the country ordinary people have not conformed to the media narrative of
bigotry but have been shocked by what has gone on
You can see the banners we used

Now we need to push forward to get rid of the vile racist May (who bigged up
the 'hostile environment' and continues to muddy the water by scapegoating
'undeserving' immigrants) and the rest of her party.
This is do-able. No need for despair, no justification for passivity, every
reason for hope ...
warmest wishesMichael

Apologies for not having heard of this; as you know, we have our own
simmilar forms of brutality here...
Thanks, Alan
