Someone in spaces asked why the British Govt & Royal Family care about their reputations abroad. The answer is always MONEY! Money & the CommonWealth

A thread on how racism claims are a BIG DEAL
With Brexit, the only sphere of influence the UK Govt has, is in the CW and this is held together by the Monarchy.
Without favourable EU tarrifs, the UK turns to commonwealth countries.

With Barbados gone and Jamaica and Belize rumoured to be next, the racisms claims mean a lot.
The British Monarchy isn't a benign apolitical institution. The UK on its own, is a small island without significant resources & depends on it's former colonies more that we are aware of. In Kenya for example we have military bases and one sided trade deals that favor the UK.

Incredible.

I hadn’t had the misfortune to encounter this gruesome minister, Victoria Atkins, before, but I see she voted against private landlords, of which she was one, being required to make homes ‘fit for human habitation’, which feels about right. #ToryBritain

White people telling non white people what the most appropriate gesture is or isn’t for them to take in order highlight injustice by white people against non white people is a perfect summary of the problem, frankly.
#racistengland #racism #idiocracy
If one of the critiques is that #TakeTheKnee is imported from America we should cancel most television, Halloween, Black Friday and about a billion other things too. Idiotic.
“If only black people could find a gesture against racism that we white people can unite behind it will be the end of the problem”, said no sentient being, ever. #racistengland
