Every single black & brown person in this country will recognise these mannerisms, the smirking, the unmerritted self assuredness. I first saw it 1st in the eyes of a girl I asked out in school, then I recognised it in some of my "friends" too. Pathetic.

When we arrived in the UK I was aged 5. I had no English. The first few days of primary school were terrifying. But I was lucky enough to find one kid who would play with me. Only one. We've remained friends ever since. He was my best man too. That's the power of kindness.

One of these men owes £500,000,000 to HMRC. The other mistakenly ticked a box on a form which meant he received 30p per week more in benefits over 6 years. Which one do you think was harangued, convicted, lost their home, driven to depression and attempted suicide?
