Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown #blacklivesmatter Over the weekend there have been protests across the country for #blacklivesmatter Predictably and depressingly there has been backlash across social media from people I can only describe as ignorant. I think that the issue is, as ever, education. Why aren't we taught about the British Empire and Colonialism at school? Britain has a phenomenally chequered past which we seem to have conveniently forgotten about in recent times. It's only though education that we can begin to understand the established system of oppression and then change it for the better.
