Full report to follow. Very successful meeting attended by 120 people, encompassing leading protest organisers and activists and others. Subjects covered included future action, intervention at this year’s Notting Hill carnival, music events, media and publicity, policing, stop and search, economics, boycotts and much more. we have set ourselves up as Black Lives Matter UK and will be organising a speaking tour to link up with other cities.
The media in London are trying to blame BLM for the trouble in Hyde Park last night just because some black kids were apparently involved. Blame the system of racsim and inequality for creating a society where a minority of young people feel the need to carry knives instead of picking on the victims and those fighting for change. Come to tonight’s meeting. Without struggle there is no progress!
