If this tragic incident doesnโ€™t open peoples damn eyes that things need to change then I donโ€™t know what will. More needs to be done to protect Black children. As I live in Wales, Iโ€™d love to go and visit Raheem so if Twitter could help in making that happen Iโ€™d be grateful.

Whoever flew this over the Man City v Burnley game doesnโ€™t seem too happy that black lives matter is getting the attention that it is. Wonder if they were included in the number of people so triggered by mixing โ€˜politicsโ€™ with sport ๐Ÿค”

Is it time to welcome Meghan and Harry back? Royal biographer @angelalevin1 tells @adilray and @CharlotteHawkns that she believes Harry and Meghan are putting 'pressure on the Queen' by being here during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

An unarmed Black man has been shot dead by the police and as much as some people want it to be, being a drill artist and having previous convictions is not an excuse.

Raheem Bailey lost a finger because an institution thatโ€™s supposed to protect ALL children failed him. One of the worst things is that whatever teachers were involved actively shut down his complaints of racism with threats of detention. The negligence is criminal.

What gets to me is people acting like racists reach a certain age and wake up one day reformed - so letโ€™s give him the benefit of the doubt. Thinking itโ€™s โ€œa nice day to run over black peopleโ€ isnโ€™t one of those average regrettable things in life. Itโ€™s a bit more serious.
