Some of the #MetPol #spycops may be considered "incredibly racist" by the standards of 2025, but I used to live in the exact same part of #London where Stephen Lawrence was killed around the same time, and it was *bitterly* racially divided back then with many normal folk harbouring the same views - to the point as a brown person I had to look over my shoulder constantly if out on my own.
Maybe its better since then, I don't know - not been back there for 30 years and unlikely to do so (I'm sceptical as the 2011 riots showed the exact same racial tension)
To be fair, Sadiq Khan has done his best to improve things in the capital, but one man can't just erase over 3 decades of hate, that started brewing when he was still in high school and University..
