It was a long, day of driving and queuing to get out of Kyiv. Imagine having to leave all you know in a hurry because you’re being shelled! What do you pack? Do pets come too? It’s freezing cold and you pray those in neighbouring countries will welcome you, not despise you! 1/2

Michael was exhausted by the end. James Baldwin looked exhausted pretty much all the way through “I’m Not Your Negro”. It’s exhausting explaining this stuff! Yet it’s so obvious if you’re black! Michael was a beautiful bowler, and he’s a beautiful human being. Give this a listen.

It is painfully clear a very serious education drive needs to be made about WHAT the BBC does, WHY it’s important and HOW it’s paid for. That there’s a level of ignorance out there is probably our fault, with the service taken for granted for far too long.

At the end of the war 2million Brits left fed up of rationing and poverty. Some became ‘ten pound Poms.” The people who filled the void were the Windrush Generation. They rebuilt Britain and ‘picked the fruit.’ Might not be a British thing to pick fruit!.
