TMG are assisting a teenage boy, who was moved to attend his very first BLM protest, but ended up getting assaulted by far right supporters, and then when he asked a police officer for help, he was stopped and searched and treated as a suspect

Over the last few months, there has been an alarming rise in racism and racial attacks (verbal and physical) throughout the UK against British Chinese, East and Southeast Asian communities, including numerous international students. In this video, Bobby Chan from Min Quan and Ping Hua talk about the experiences of the community in recent weeks.

abour slammed the government today after it admitted that a number of British-Caribbean citizens of the Windrush generation have been wrongly deported — but didn’t know how many.

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said it is “an absolute scandal” that the Home Office has no idea how many people with a right to remain in Britain had been deported “in error.”

Justice groups are calling for the Metropolitan Police to scrap its “shady” gang intelligence database as a major report is set to reveal that more than a third of the people on it have not committed any serious crimes.

While the London Mayor’s Office has begun a promised investigation into the ‘Gangs Matrix’ to be released this year, two reports, by Amnesty International and police monitoring group, StopWatch, are set to lay bare a host of claims that it is “infringing on peoples’ civil liberties”.

It seems somewhat ironic that I happen to to be speaking in the House of  Commons on the very day the Cabinet Office’s ‘Race Disparity Audit  report’ has been released. Unfortunately, I have not yet had a chance to  read the report. However, my understanding is the report will be  looking specifically into the experiences of Black and Brown communities  with regards to  health, employment, housing, education and crime &  policing.

For nearly two decades’ various reports have been discussed the links between race and segregation, and mostly simply blame BME communities, without examining the historical relationships between race, politics, housing markets and wealth. Last years Casey review on integration continued this focus simply blaming BME, and Muslim communities in particular. However, there is a reverse side to this story which rarely gets a mention.

The slogan ‘take back control’ are three toxic words which took centre stage during last years EU referendum debate.

Brexit and immigration are joined at the hip in the popular mind. Just look at some of the regular front pages from newspapers.

These emerging findings take the form of a statistical analysis paper looking at disproportionality in the criminal justice system and provide an implied acknowledgement that racism and discrimination is a problem in the criminal justice system.

The convictions of four far-right fascists a few hours ago at Sheffield Crown Court for Violent Disorder is a vindication for everything our campaign has stood for, especially the right of self-defence for a victimised community facing real and present danger from violent far right activists. This is in stark contrast to the acquittal of all the 10 Asian defendants in the previous trial arising from the same incident of 5th September 2015.

There was much activity on social media last week celebrating the 30th anniversary of the historical election of four Black MP’s, Dianne Abbott, Paul Boeteng, Bernie Grant, and Keith Vaz.
