Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations.\nOur platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all.\nWe prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally.\nIt is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement.\nAs a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka  ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause.\nWe are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm.\nUltimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings.\nBlack people, our allegiance is first with you, 'Our People'\nWe are not interested in the British identity, nor to take 'pride' identifying as 'Black British'\nBecause...\nBritain has never truly been interested in us, as British Black people with full citizens rights to be free and live as equals\nBlack Kings, Queens teach our Young Black Prince's & Princess’s during childhood, at home, in communities, in neighbourhoods to always wear their invisible Crowns, just as you\nmust\nwear always wear your everyday too ~\nTalk the\nTalk & Walk the Walk\nSTAND STRONG\nYou've got this!\nWe've got this & we Stand with You!!\nBlack Power\nAwaken\nBlack Consciousness & Self-worth\nOur whole objective is to empower Black people to fight\ncollectively,\ndemand Racial Equality, Equity & Social Justice\nReclaim the\nauthentic\nmeaning of\nWOKE\nStay Aware\n&\nRemain\nAlert\nAmidst White British Supremacists Far Right narrative and agenda, 'their' pan national racial beliefs of Afri-phobic, anti-Black, anti-Muslim, Hate \nChallenged emboldened racists disrupters, including politicians who strive to disempower and set discord to cause Black disunity\n“So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.”\nFACTS \nBRITISH HISTORY\nMany nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day.\nStudies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale.\nThe few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics.\nThe repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews.\nContemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future.\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\nRACISM & POLICE UK\nWHAT IS THE CASEY REPORT?\nThe Casey Report & Met Police\nThe Casey Report unveils shocking catalogue of\nracist, misogynist and homophobic\nbehaviour and abuse across the force.\nOUR RESPONSE\nYET STILL the SO call leader, Police Commissioner Rowley refuses to accept the label.\nThe racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design.\nBaroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report.\nHowever\n, Mark Rowley\nSTILL refuses\nto acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'i\nnstitutional racism\n', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous.\nMark Rowley views institutional racism as political\n.\nWe of course have an opposing view\n- \nBLACKLIVESMATTER.UK\nsee Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma.\nBaroness Casey laid it all out in the\nlatest report\n.\nThese been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th\nCasey Report. Past reports\neventually gathered dust and all but disregarded.\nHow can\/will the Casey report be different.\nWill the rug and brush just get that much bigger to help shift the dirt deeper underneath for another few decades more.\nNOT if we have anything to do with the landscape to help break the old fashioned out of date model of policing.\nMark Rowley is now 30yrs in the establishment and part of the old establishment\n, seems rolling him out may be a waste of time, a waste-man who cannot be reformed himself let alone become a leader to have any sort of acumen to reform the MET.\nThe MET police force either needs to be abolished, broken up and disbanded. Subjected to a Royal Commission is the best way forward, some are suggesting.\nWe won’t let it lie.\nOur children physical and mental health rely on us to create waves strong enough to change the tide of anti-Black racism\nRID\nMYTHS\n&\n \nSTEREOTYPES\nTO\nDEAL\nWITH\nFACTS\n&\nROOT CAUSES\nIdris Elba:\nOur Knife Crime Crisis\nIdris Elba confronts the reality of knife crime, speaking to those most affected - from the streets to the system - in a quest to uncover how we can break the cycle.\nFACT:\nMOST KNIFFE CRIME OFFENCES IN THE UK ARE COMMITEED BY WHITE PEOPLE\nKnife crime is spreading across the UK, with an average of four people stabbed to death every week.\nFor Idris Elba, this isn’t just a statistic - it’s personal. Growing up in east London, where violence was a constant threat, he understands the critical choices that shape futures. Aware of how easily his own path could have gone in a different direction, Idris - actor, campaigner and man determined to make a difference - embarks on a mission to confront this crisis.\nWhy is knife crime rising in so many places? How do we stop it? Can we balance punishment with prevention?\nIdris speaks with victims, offenders, police and grieving families, uncovering harsh truths and challenging stereotypes. While often seen as an inner-city problem affecting black and brown communities, the reality is broader: white offenders are the majority of those arrested for carrying knives, and rural areas like Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire and Sussex have seen significant increases in the knife crime rate.\nIn the West Midlands, Idris learns of an unprovoked murder by two 12-year-olds. At Feltham Prison and Young Offender Institution, he meets perpetrators who feel they were driven to carry knives and hears warnings from the governor that by the time the boys are locked up, it’s often too late to turn their lives around.\nThe film features Pooja Kanda, whose son Ronan was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. She highlights systemic failures and risks when children are excluded from school. Idris also visits The Royal London Hospital, where a pioneering programme sees youth workers embedded directly in the casualty department. In these pivotal moments, they step in to support young victims of knife crime, guiding them away from violence.\nHe has discussions about possible solutions with King Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, advocating earlier interventions and pointing to successful initiatives like one in Coventry, where a teenager who once carried a knife is now training as a football coach. Idris reflects on his youth and his determination to create opportunities for others. His requests culminate in a knife crime summit at 10 Downing Street, bringing together those directly affected to influence policy and inspire change.\nWATCH - Duration 59 mins\nFirst shown 9pm 29 Jan 2025\nAvailable for 11 months\nBLACK CHILDREN 6 X MORE LIKELY TO BE TARGETED\nCHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER\nDame Rachel de Souza\nStrip search of children in England and Wales\nContrary to guidance, 6% of strip searches were conducted with at least one officer of a different gender than the child present. Over half of all cases saw no further action taken against the child.\nPolice strip searched nearly 3,000 children between 2018 and mid-2022It confirms just how badly our children are being failed by the the police AND as young as eight strip-searched by police.\nBlack children were six times more likely to be targeted than the overall population, figures show.\nOUR RESPONSE IN BRIEF\nWe\nBLACKLIVESMATTER.UK\nbelieve there are many sexual predators, voyeurs, power crazed and obsessed police officers serving an preying on Black vulnerable minors participating in invasive strip searches absent of parent\/s and or appropriate adult. \nWE CONSIDER STRIP SEARCH IS STATE SANCTIONED SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ITS TIME TO CHANGE THE LAW.\nCLICK •••►\n#\nEND\nSTRIPSEARCH\nBLACK CHILDREN ARE UNDER-PROTECTED,\nUNSAFEGUARDED\nAND\nOVERPOLICED\nIN THE UK.\n#DisbandTheMet\n#BlackKidsMatterUK\n@RishiSunak\n@DameLynneOwens\nA Radical Community Guide to Police Child Strip Search law in UK\n BLAM \nBLACK\nLIVES STILL\nMATTER\nThe groundswell of protest actions in 2020 across both the USA and UK, including Black Lives Matter protests and other anti-racist protests,\nled to both governments’ proposing and enacting legislation to restrict protest rights and secure rights of property over civil rights. Protest and political dissent are fundamental rights that we should protect. However, these laws have disproportionately affected Black and Muslim communities.\nAuthor: Sira Thiam, APA Development Officer\nPREVIEW BLM ART GALLERY\nThe Black Lives Matter UK\nVirtual 360 Gallery\nBlack Lives Matter UK brief to TD360 was to create a gallery an experience that was not only inspiring and educational, developed from a personal connection with each artist.

Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations.\n\nOur platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all.\n\nWe prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally.\n\nIt is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement.\n\nAs a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause.\n\nWe are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm.\n\nUltimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings.\n\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_3926.jpeg?etag=%222b1f8-67817957%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=296%2B277&extract=0%2B0%2B296%2B277&quality=85)](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_3926.jpeg?etag=%222b1f8-67817957%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&quality=85)\n\n[![BLACK

FACTS\n# BRITISH HISTORY\nMany nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day.\n\nStudies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale.\n\nThe few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics.\n\nThe repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews.\n\nContemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future.\n\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7855.jpeg?etag=%222fb35-67b49047%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=453%2B573&quality=85)](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7855.jpeg?etag=%222fb35-67b49047%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&quality=85)\n\n[![Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7519.jpeg?etag=%222d1e3-678eb0d9%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=479,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London\")\n\n[![Sadiq Khan](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7516___serialized4.jpeg?etag=W%2F%225f1d6-678eb949%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=669,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/x.com\/SadiqKhan\/status\/1880895890522845501 \"Sadiq Khan\")\n\n[![Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7518.jpeg?etag=%2228793-678eb0d9%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=513,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London\")\n\n[![Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7520___serialized1.jpeg?etag=W%2F%226ccf9-678eb83d%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=396,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London\")\n\n[![Guardian UK](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7516___serialized2.jpeg?etag=W%2F%22d1bba-678eb2a1%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=559,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Guardian UK\")\n\n[![Trump Corporate Bully & Global Antagonist](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/Trump.jpeg?etag=%2213030-67b5c2ee%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=498,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/entry\/donald-trump-racist-examples_n_56d47177e4b03260bf777e83 \"Trump Corporate Bully & Global Antagonist\")\n\n### [This is Sir Sadiq Khan's three-point plan for standing up to the far right and the billionaire bullies \\| Sadiq Khan \\| The Guardian](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies?CMP=share_btn_url)\n# WHITE SUPREMACY IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMAITY\n# & THE ENTIRE WORLD\n# TRUMP & MUSK\n# COUPLE OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS\n# CORPORATE, SOCIAL MEDIA BUILLIES, BAD FAITH ACTORS, DISRUPTERS INTERFERRING WITH PEACE & STABILITY OF WORLD ORDER\n# \\-\\-\\-\n### [Read Sadiq Khan's three-point plan for standing up to the far right and the billionaire bullies \\| Sadiq Khan \\| The Guardian](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies?CMP=share_btn_url)\n\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\n\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\n\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\n\n# RACISM & POLICE UK\n## Sadiq Khan vows to reform policing after scathing Casey report\n### London’s Mayor says he’s determined to address deep-rooted issues that saw the force described as ‘broken’, ‘rotten’ and lacking public trust\n### [Sadiq Khan vows to reform policing after scathing Casey report -

The racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design. Baroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report. However, Mark Rowley STILL refuses to acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'institutional racism', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous.\n\nMark Rowley views institutional racism as political.\n\nWe of course have an opposing view -\n\n[BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK](https:\/\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/2020and-archives) see Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma.\n\nBaroness Casey laid it all out in the [latest report](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf). These been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th Casey Report. Past reports eventually gathered dust and all but disregarded.\n\nHow can\/will the Casey report be different. Will the rug and brush just get that much bigger to help shift the dirt deeper underneath for another few decades more. NOT if we have anything to do with the landscape to help break the old fashioned out of date model of policing.\n\nMark Rowley is now 30yrs in the establishment and part of the old establishment, seems rolling him out may be a waste of time, a waste-man who cannot be reformed himself let alone become a leader to have any sort of acumen to reform the MET.\n\nThe MET police force either needs to be abolished, broken up and disbanded. Subjected to a Royal Commission is the best way forward, some are suggesting.\n\nWe won’t let it lie.\n\nOur children physical and mental health rely on us to create waves strong enough to change the tide of anti-Black racism\n\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/B7FC2F0C-DB5E-4E21-AA54-8FF6F057A869.jpeg?etag=%223c44e-6419ce76%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=480%2B718&quality=85)](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf)\n\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/D83013B2-3444-4934-A698-3CB357486DDC.jpeg?etag=%221fd92-6419c8db%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=480%2B231&quality=85)](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf)\n\n[READ CASEY REPORT](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf)\n\n[WATCH VID: CASEY INTERVIEW](https:\/\/youtu.be\/uvsV7dibcYQ)\n\nMark Rowley\n\n[Commissioner's response to interim report by Baroness Louise Casey \\| Metropolitan Police](https:\/\/news.met.police.uk\/news\/commissioners-response-to-interim-report-by-baroness-louise-casey-455578)\n\n## RID MYTHS & STEREOTYPES TO DEAL WITH FACTS & ROOT CAUSES\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/BBC-IdrisElba.jpeg?etag=%22b0f0f-679e45d2%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=1180%2B832&quality=85)](https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/m0027ffx\/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis)\n\n## [Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis](https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/m0027ffx)\n## Idris Elba confronts the reality of knife crime, speaking to those most affected - from the streets to the system - in a quest to uncover how we can break the cycle.\n[WATCH NOW\\!](https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/m0027ffx\/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis)\n\n### [FACT: MOST KNIFFE CRIME OFFENCES IN THE UK ARE COMMITEED BY WHITE PEOPLE](https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/m0027ffx\/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis)\nKnife crime is spreading across the UK, with an average of four people stabbed to death every week.\n\nFor Idris Elba, this isn’t just a statistic - it’s personal. Growing up in east London, where violence was a constant threat, he understands the critical choices that shape futures. Aware of how easily his own path could have gone in a different direction, Idris - actor, campaigner and man determined to make a difference - embarks on a mission to confront this crisis.\n\nWhy is knife crime rising in so many places? How do we stop it? Can we balance punishment with prevention?\n\nIdris speaks with victims, offenders, police and grieving families, uncovering harsh truths and challenging stereotypes. While often seen as an inner-city problem affecting black and brown communities, the reality is broader: white offenders are the majority of those arrested for carrying knives, and rural areas like Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire and Sussex have seen significant increases in the knife crime rate.\n\nIn the West Midlands, Idris learns of an unprovoked murder by two 12-year-olds. At Feltham Prison and Young Offender Institution, he meets perpetrators who feel they were driven to carry knives and hears warnings from the governor that by the time the boys are locked up, it’s often too late to turn their lives around.\n\nThe film features Pooja Kanda, whose son Ronan was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. She highlights systemic failures and risks when children are excluded from school. Idris also visits The Royal London Hospital, where a pioneering programme sees youth workers embedded directly in the casualty department. In these pivotal moments, they step in to support young victims of knife crime, guiding them away from violence.\n\nHe has discussions about possible solutions with King Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, advocating earlier interventions and pointing to successful initiatives like one in Coventry, where a teenager who once carried a knife is now training as a football coach. Idris reflects on his youth and his determination to create opportunities for others. His requests culminate in a knife crime summit at 10 Downing Street, bringing together those directly affected to influence policy and inspire change.\n\n- [WATCH - Duration 59 mins](https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/m0027ffx\/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis)\n- First shown 9pm 29 Jan 2025\n- Available for 11 months\n\n> We are calling on the UK Government to [\\#TakeRacismSeriously](https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TakeRacismSeriously?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).  \n>   \n> But we need your help! 🙌  \n>   \n> Join us by signing our [\\#TakeRacismSeriously](https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TakeRacismSeriously?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Open Letter below  \n>   \n> 📝 <https:\/\/t.co\/szQa4QbcjZ> [pic.twitter.com\/pmMIWEzpbh](https:\/\/t.co\/pmMIWEzpbh)\n> \n> — The Diana Award (@DianaAward) [January 6, 2025](https:\/\/twitter.com\/DianaAward\/status\/1876237746705998059?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)\n\n## BLACK CHILDREN 6 X MORE LIKELY TO BE TARGETED\n## CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER\n\n[![BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/51F165B1-5506-47F7-918A-ACE90F275017.jpeg?etag=%22244a0-6421975c%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=443%2B298&quality=85)](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf \"BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK\")\n\n### Dame Rachel de Souza\n## Strip search of children in England and Wales\nContrary to guidance, 6% of strip searches were conducted with at least one officer of a different gender than the child present.

What about patents?\n\nCopyright is just one form of intellectual property. It isn't the same as trademark, which protects brand names, mottos, logos, and other source identifiers from being used by others for certain purposes. It's also different from patent law, which protects inventions.\n\nWhat is “Fair Use”?\n\n“Fair Use” or the “Fair Dealing” doctrine, allows limited copying of copyrighted works for certain purposes, including education and research. These limited uses do not require permission from the copyright owner. Whether a particular use is a fair use depends on the facts of each case. The law lists several factors, which courts must consider together in determining whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is a permitted “Fair Use,” or is instead an infringement of the copyright.

THE MET IS INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST\n## \"RACISM IS BAKED IN\"\nAnti-Black Racism is 'baked' into the MET, nothing new uncovered there though this report is welcomed, backing up all the reports gone before.\n\nDuring last number of years, particularly 2025 we have seen a revival of the blatant in your face racism that past generations of Black people suffered and endured in Britain during 60-70's.\n\nRacism and race HATE is no longer covert in UK's society at large and racism in the MET simply represents a broader reflection of British society in accepting race hate, white supremacy and expressing it disdain for non-white British citizen and is clearly anti-Black, Afrophobia (afriphobia) and steeped in islamophobia, anti-Muslim hatred.\n\nMuch of this had been incited and propagated by white British politicians such a Rupert Lowe of Great Yarmouth and alike, and criminals such as Tommy Robinson.\n\nThis overt type and form of societal racism, race hate, with public figures notably infamous in the public eye and with a growing number in profiles in governmental position's, such as MP's inciting and grooming a nation to be racist is something the younger generations are becoming aware of, and being harmed by more and more hateful experiences \\- Black Lives Matter

Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations.\n\nOur platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all.\n\nWe prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally.\n\nIt is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement.\n\nAs a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause.\n\nWe are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm.\n\nUltimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings.\n\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_3926.jpeg?etag=%222b1f8-67817957%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=296%2B277&extract=0%2B0%2B296%2B277&quality=85)](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_3926.jpeg?etag=%222b1f8-67817957%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&quality=85)\n\n[![BLACK

FACTS\n## BRITISH HISTORY\nMany nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day.\n\nStudies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale.\n\nThe few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics.\n\nThe repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews.\n\nContemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future.\n\n[![](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7855.jpeg?etag=%222fb35-67b49047%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=453%2B573&quality=85)](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7855.jpeg?etag=%222fb35-67b49047%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&quality=85)\n\n[![Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7519.jpeg?etag=%222d1e3-678eb0d9%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=479,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London\")\n\n[![Sadiq Khan](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7516___serialized4.jpeg?etag=W%2F%225f1d6-678eb949%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=669,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/x.com\/SadiqKhan\/status\/1880895890522845501 \"Sadiq Khan\")\n\n[![Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7518.jpeg?etag=%2228793-678eb0d9%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=513,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London\")\n\n[![Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7520___serialized1.jpeg?etag=W%2F%226ccf9-678eb83d%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=396,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London\")\n\n[![Guardian UK](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/IMG_7516___serialized2.jpeg?etag=W%2F%22d1bba-678eb2a1%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=559,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2025\/jan\/18\/sadiq-khan-far-right-billionaire-bullies \"Guardian UK\")\n\n[![Trump Corporate Bully & Global Antagonist](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/Trump.jpeg?etag=%2213030-67b5c2ee%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&resize=498,561&withoutEnlargement)](https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.co.uk\/entry\/donald-trump-racist-examples_n_56d47177e4b03260bf777e83 \"Trump Corporate Bully & Global Antagonist\")\n\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\n\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\n\nWHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY\n## RACISM & POLICE UK\n## WHAT IS THE CASEY REPORT?\n### The Casey Report & Met Police\n\n[![BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/6C83FDEF-3BC2-4FA8-9BE5-834CEF15DC32.jpeg?etag=%22314b0-6419cf0e%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=443%2B247&quality=85)](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf \"BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK\")\n\nThe Casey Report unveils shocking catalogue of racist, misogynist and homophobic behaviour and abuse across the force.\n\nOUR RESPONSE\n\nYET STILL the SO call leader, Police Commissioner Rowley refuses to accept the label. The racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design. Baroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report. However, Mark Rowley STILL refuses to acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'institutional racism', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous.\n\nMark Rowley views institutional racism as political.\n\nWe of course have an opposing view -\n\n[BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK](https:\/\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/2020and-archives) see Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma.\n\nBaroness Casey laid it all out in the [latest report](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf). These been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th Casey Report. Past reports eventually gathered dust and all but disregarded.\n\nHow can\/will the Casey report be different.

Growing up in east London, where violence was a constant threat, he understands the critical choices that shape futures. Aware of how easily his own path could have gone in a different direction, Idris - actor, campaigner and man determined to make a difference - embarks on a mission to confront this crisis.\n\nWhy is knife crime rising in so many places? How do we stop it? Can we balance punishment with prevention?\n\nIdris speaks with victims, offenders, police and grieving families, uncovering harsh truths and challenging stereotypes. While often seen as an inner-city problem affecting black and brown communities, the reality is broader: white offenders are the majority of those arrested for carrying knives, and rural areas like Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire and Sussex have seen significant increases in the knife crime rate.\n\nIn the West Midlands, Idris learns of an unprovoked murder by two 12-year-olds. At Feltham Prison and Young Offender Institution, he meets perpetrators who feel they were driven to carry knives and hears warnings from the governor that by the time the boys are locked up, it’s often too late to turn their lives around.\n\nThe film features Pooja Kanda, whose son Ronan was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. She highlights systemic failures and risks when children are excluded from school. Idris also visits The Royal London Hospital, where a pioneering programme sees youth workers embedded directly in the casualty department. In these pivotal moments, they step in to support young victims of knife crime, guiding them away from violence.\n\nHe has discussions about possible solutions with King Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, advocating earlier interventions and pointing to successful initiatives like one in Coventry, where a teenager who once carried a knife is now training as a football coach. Idris reflects on his youth and his determination to create opportunities for others. His requests culminate in a knife crime summit at 10 Downing Street, bringing together those directly affected to influence policy and inspire change.\n\n- [WATCH - Duration 59 mins](https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/m0027ffx\/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis)\n- First shown 9pm 29 Jan 2025\n- Available for 11 months\n\n## BLACK CHILDREN 6 X MORE LIKELY TO BE TARGETED\n## CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER\n\n[![BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK](https:\/\/impro.usercontent.one\/appid\/oneComWsb\/domain\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/media\/blacklivesmatter.uk\/onewebmedia\/51F165B1-5506-47F7-918A-ACE90F275017.jpeg?etag=%22244a0-6421975c%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=443%2B298&quality=85)](https:\/\/www.crestadvisory.com\/_files\/ugd\/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf \"BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK\")\n\n### Dame Rachel de Souza\n## Strip search of children in England and Wales\nContrary to guidance, 6% of strip searches were conducted with at least one officer of a different gender than the child present.

Boilerpipe Text	Lewis Hamilton TAKE BACK AFRICA TRUMP "When I first saw that image coming across my social media, I thought, it must be fake," said Kamali in his analysis. Sky News presenter Kamali Melbourne weighs in on a video shared online by the White House of the Obamas, which has sparked outrage after featuring imagery widely condemned as racist. WELCOME ALLIES ⬇️ GREETINGS TO EVERYONE WHO STANDS AGAINST RACISM AND SUPPORT RACIAL EQUALITY FOR ALL PEOPLES. THE MET IS INSTITUTIONALLY RACIST "RACISM IS BAKED IN" Anti-Black Racism is 'baked' into the MET, nothing new uncovered there though this report is welcomed, backing up all the reports gone before. During last number of years, particularly 2025 we have seen a revival of the blatant in your face racism that past generations of Black people suffered and endured in Britain during 60-70's. Racism and race HATE is no longer covert in UK's society at large and racism in the MET simply represents a broader reflection of British society in accepting race hate, white supremacy and expressing it disdain for non-white British citizen and is clearly anti-Black, Afrophobia (afriphobia) and steeped in islamophobia, anti-Muslim hatred. Much of this had been incited and propagated by white British politicians such a Rupert Lowe of Great Yarmouth and alike, and criminals such as Tommy Robinson. This overt type and form of societal racism, race hate, with public figures notably infamous in the public eye and with a growing number in profiles in governmental position's, such as MP's inciting and grooming a nation to be racist is something the younger generations are becoming aware of, and being harmed by more and more hateful experiences - Black Lives Matter UK Black skin represents an inherent genetic symbol of beauty, embodying Black Power, Pride, and Greatness. Embrace this legacy of descent with reverence to our ancestors and wear it with Black consciousness, self-identity, self-worth & joy. JOIN IN AND LET'S MAKE CHANGE TOGETHER! We stand united as a social civil rights movement in solidarity, both in the UK and globally, to bring about positive change. Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations. Our platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all. We prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally. It is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement. As a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause. We are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm. Ultimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings. Black people, our allegiance is first with you, 'Our People' We are not interested in the British identity, nor to take 'pride' identifying as 'Black British' Because... Britain has never truly been interested in us, as British Black people with full citizens rights to be free and live as equals Black Kings, Queens teach our Young Black Prince's & Princess’s during childhood, at home, in communities, in neighbourhoods to always wear their invisible Crowns, just as you must wear always wear your everyday too ~ Talk the Talk & Walk the Walk STAND STRONG You've got this! We've got this & we Stand with You!! Black Power Awaken Black Consciousness & Self-worth Our whole objective is to empower Black people to fight collectively, demand Racial Equality, Equity & Social Justice Reclaim the authentic meaning of WOKE Stay Aware & Remain Alert Amidst White British Supremacists Far Right narrative and agenda, 'their' pan national racial beliefs of Afri-phobic, anti-Black, anti-Muslim, Hate Challenged emboldened racists disrupters, including politicians who strive to disempower and set discord to cause Black disunity “So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.” FACTS BRITISH HISTORY Many nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day. Studies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale. The few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics. The repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews. Contemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future. WHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY WHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY WHITE SUPREMACY BIGGEST THREAT TO HUMANITY RACISM & POLICE UK WHAT IS THE CASEY REPORT? The Casey Report & Met Police The Casey Report unveils shocking catalogue of racist, misogynist and homophobic behaviour and abuse across the force. OUR RESPONSE YET STILL the SO call leader, Police Commissioner Rowley refuses to accept the label. The racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design. Baroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report. However , Mark Rowley STILL refuses to acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'i nstitutional racism ', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous. Mark Rowley views institutional racism as political . We of course have an opposing view - BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK see Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma. Baroness Casey laid it all out in the latest report . These been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th Casey Report. Past reports eventually gathered dust and all but disregarded. How can/will the Casey report be different. Will the rug and brush just get that much bigger to help shift the dirt deeper underneath for another few decades more. NOT if we have anything to do with the landscape to help break the old fashioned out of date model of policing. Mark Rowley is now 30yrs in the establishment and part of the old establishment , seems rolling him out may be a waste of time, a waste-man who cannot be reformed himself let alone become a leader to have any sort of acumen to reform the MET. The MET police force either needs to be abolished, broken up and disbanded. Subjected to a Royal Commission is the best way forward, some are suggesting. We won’t let it lie.

During last number of years, particularly 2025 we have seen a revival of the blatant in your face racism that past generations of Black people suffered and endured in Britain during 60-70's. Racism and race HATE is no longer covert in UK's society at large and racism in the MET simply represents a broader reflection of British society in accepting race hate, white supremacy and expressing it disdain for non-white British citizen and is clearly anti-Black, Afrophobia (afriphobia) and steeped in islamophobia, anti-Muslim hatred. Much of this had been incited and propagated by white British politicians such a Rupert Lowe of Great Yarmouth and alike, and criminals such as Tommy Robinson. This overt type and form of societal racism, race hate, with public figures notably infamous in the public eye and with a growing number in profiles in governmental position's, such as MP's inciting and grooming a nation to be racist is something the younger generations are becoming aware of, and being harmed by more and more hateful experiences \- Black Lives Matter UK ## [Anti-Black discrimination 'baked' into Met Police, report finds - \>\> SKY REPORT](https://news.sky.com/story/anti-black-discrimination-baked-into-met-police-report-finds-as-stephen-lawrences-mother-says-change-must-take-place-now-13465110) \_\_ ### The report can be accessed [here.](https://mps.box.com/s/ks9s654nk67zix1008k7uhcthup96ghi) ## Metropolitan Police publish Dr Shereen Daniels’ independently commissioned report into racism in the Met [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/IMG_4510.jpeg?etag=%22112d15-690ddb09%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=458%2B635&extract=0%2B0%2B439%2B635&quality=85)](https://mps.ent.box.com/s/ks9s654nk67zix1008k7uhcthup96ghi/file/2017971530386) [![Who was Elgie Bell](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/Elgie_Bell/EEB___serialized1.png?etag=%2287cfb-6819ea37%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fpng&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=348%2B619&extract=0%2B105%2B315%2B435)](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/elgie-bell "Who was Elgie Bell") [![“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed..." - MALCOLM X](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/MalX.jpeg?etag=%224f566-68a7338c%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=519%2B394&quality=85)](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/historical-contemporary-profiles/malcolm-x "“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed...\" - MALCOLM X") [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/IMG_1671.jpeg?etag=%2270b81-67817940%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=384%2B384&quality=85)](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/IMG_1671.jpeg?etag=%2270b81-67817940%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&quality=85) ![SANKOFA - Reminder of Strength & Reslillance](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/FIST25___serialized4.png?etag=W%2F%2296860-68a763bd%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fpng&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=364%2B400) ## Black skin represents an inherent genetic symbol of beauty, embodying Black Power, Pride, and Greatness. ## Embrace this legacy of descent with reverence to our ancestors and wear it with Black consciousness, self-identity, self-worth & joy.

We stand united as a social civil rights movement in solidarity, both in the UK and globally, to bring about positive change. Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations. Our platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all. We prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally. It is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement. As a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause. We are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm. Ultimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings.

# FACTS # BRITISH HISTORY Many nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day. Studies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale. The few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics. The repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews. Contemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future.

OUR RESPONSE YET STILL the SO call leader, Police Commissioner Rowley refuses to accept the label. The racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design. Baroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report. However, Mark Rowley STILL refuses to acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'institutional racism', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous. Mark Rowley views institutional racism as political. We of course have an opposing view - [BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/2020and-archives) see Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma. Baroness Casey laid it all out in the [latest report](https://www.crestadvisory.com/_files/ugd/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf). These been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th Casey Report. Past reports eventually gathered dust and all but disregarded. How can/will the Casey report be different. Will the rug and brush just get that much bigger to help shift the dirt deeper underneath for another few decades more. NOT if we have anything to do with the landscape to help break the old fashioned out of date model of policing. Mark Rowley is now 30yrs in the establishment and part of the old establishment, seems rolling him out may be a waste of time, a waste-man who cannot be reformed himself let alone become a leader to have any sort of acumen to reform the MET. The MET police force either needs to be abolished, broken up and disbanded. Subjected to a Royal Commission is the best way forward, some are suggesting. We won’t let it lie.

[WATCH NOW\!](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027ffx/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis) ### [FACT: MOST KNIFFE CRIME OFFENCES IN THE UK ARE COMMITEED BY WHITE PEOPLE](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027ffx/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis) Knife crime is spreading across the UK, with an average of four people stabbed to death every week. For Idris Elba, this isn’t just a statistic - it’s personal. Growing up in east London, where violence was a constant threat, he understands the critical choices that shape futures. Aware of how easily his own path could have gone in a different direction, Idris - actor, campaigner and man determined to make a difference - embarks on a mission to confront this crisis. Why is knife crime rising in so many places? How do we stop it? Can we balance punishment with prevention? Idris speaks with victims, offenders, police and grieving families, uncovering harsh truths and challenging stereotypes. While often seen as an inner-city problem affecting black and brown communities, the reality is broader: white offenders are the majority of those arrested for carrying knives, and rural areas like Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire and Sussex have seen significant increases in the knife crime rate. In the West Midlands, Idris learns of an unprovoked murder by two 12-year-olds. At Feltham Prison and Young Offender Institution, he meets perpetrators who feel they were driven to carry knives and hears warnings from the governor that by the time the boys are locked up, it’s often too late to turn their lives around. The film features Pooja Kanda, whose son Ronan was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. She highlights systemic failures and risks when children are excluded from school. Idris also visits The Royal London Hospital, where a pioneering programme sees youth workers embedded directly in the casualty department. In these pivotal moments, they step in to support young victims of knife crime, guiding them away from violence. He has discussions about possible solutions with King Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, advocating earlier interventions and pointing to successful initiatives like one in Coventry, where a teenager who once carried a knife is now training as a football coach. Idris reflects on his youth and his determination to create opportunities for others. His requests culminate in a knife crime summit at 10 Downing Street, bringing together those directly affected to influence policy and inspire change. - [WATCH - Duration 59 mins](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027ffx/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis) - First shown 9pm 29 Jan 2025 - Available for 11 months > We are calling on the UK Government to [\#TakeRacismSeriously](https://twitter.com/hashtag/TakeRacismSeriously?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). > > But we need your help! 🙌 > > Join us by signing our [\#TakeRacismSeriously](https://twitter.com/hashtag/TakeRacismSeriously?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Open Letter below > > 📝 <https://t.co/szQa4QbcjZ> [pic.twitter.com/pmMIWEzpbh](https://t.co/pmMIWEzpbh) > > — The Diana Award (@DianaAward) [January 6, 2025](https://twitter.com/DianaAward/status/1876237746705998059?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ## BLACK CHILDREN 6 X MORE LIKELY TO BE TARGETED ## CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER [![BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/51F165B1-5506-47F7-918A-ACE90F275017.jpeg?etag=%22244a0-6421975c%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=443%2B298&quality=85)](https://www.crestadvisory.com/_files/ugd/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf "BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK") ### Dame Rachel de Souza ## Strip search of children in England and Wales Contrary to guidance, 6% of strip searches were conducted with at least one officer of a different gender than the child present.

Protest and political dissent are fundamental rights that we should protect. However, these laws have disproportionately affected Black and Muslim communities.

What about patents? Copyright is just one form of intellectual property. It isn't the same as trademark, which protects brand names, mottos, logos, and other source identifiers from being used by others for certain purposes. It's also different from patent law, which protects inventions. What is “Fair Use”? “Fair Use” or the “Fair Dealing” doctrine, allows limited copying of copyrighted works for certain purposes, including education and research. These limited uses do not require permission from the copyright owner. Whether a particular use is a fair use depends on the facts of each case. The law lists several factors, which courts must consider together in determining whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is a permitted “Fair Use,” or is instead an infringement of the copyright.

During last number of years, particularly 2025 we have seen a revival of the blatant in your face racism that past generations of Black people suffered and endured in Britain during 60-70's. Racism and race HATE is no longer covert in UK's society at large and racism in the MET simply represents a broader reflection of British society in accepting race hate, white supremacy and expressing it disdain for non-white British citizen and is clearly anti-Black, Afrophobia (afriphobia) and steeped in islamophobia, anti-Muslim hatred. Much of this had been incited and propagated by white British politicians such a Rupert Lowe of Great Yarmouth and alike, and criminals such as Tommy Robinson. This overt type and form of societal racism, race hate, with public figures notably infamous in the public eye and with a growing number in profiles in governmental position's, such as MP's inciting and grooming a nation to be racist is something the younger generations are becoming aware of, and being harmed by more and more hateful experiences \- Black Lives Matter UK [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/IMG_4510.jpeg?etag=%22112d15-690ddb09%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=458%2B635&extract=0%2B0%2B439%2B635&quality=85)](https://mps.ent.box.com/s/ks9s654nk67zix1008k7uhcthup96ghi/file/2017971530386) [![Who was Elgie Bell](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/Elgie_Bell/EEB___serialized1.png?etag=%2287cfb-6819ea37%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fpng&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=348%2B619&extract=0%2B105%2B315%2B435)](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/elgie-bell "Who was Elgie Bell") [![“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed..." - MALCOLM X](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/MalX.jpeg?etag=%224f566-68a7338c%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=519%2B394&quality=85)](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/historical-contemporary-profiles/malcolm-x "“If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed...\" - MALCOLM X") [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/IMG_1671.jpeg?etag=%2270b81-67817940%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=384%2B384&quality=85)](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/IMG_1671.jpeg?etag=%2270b81-67817940%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&quality=85) ![SANKOFA - Reminder of Strength & Reslillance](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/FIST25___serialized4.png?etag=W%2F%2296860-68a763bd%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fpng&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=364%2B400) ## Black skin represents an inherent genetic symbol of beauty, embodying Black Power, Pride, and Greatness. ## Embrace this legacy of descent with reverence to our ancestors and wear it with Black consciousness, self-identity, self-worth & joy.

We stand united as a social civil rights movement in solidarity, both in the UK and globally, to bring about positive change. Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations. Our platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all. We prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally. It is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement. As a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause. We are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm. Ultimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings.

## FACTS ## BRITISH HISTORY Many nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day. Studies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale. The few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics. The repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews. Contemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future.

OUR RESPONSE YET STILL the SO call leader, Police Commissioner Rowley refuses to accept the label. The racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design. Baroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report. However, Mark Rowley STILL refuses to acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'institutional racism', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous. Mark Rowley views institutional racism as political. We of course have an opposing view - [BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/2020and-archives) see Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma. Baroness Casey laid it all out in the [latest report](https://www.crestadvisory.com/_files/ugd/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf). These been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th Casey Report. Past reports eventually gathered dust and all but disregarded. How can/will the Casey report be different. Will the rug and brush just get that much bigger to help shift the dirt deeper underneath for another few decades more. NOT if we have anything to do with the landscape to help break the old fashioned out of date model of policing. Mark Rowley is now 30yrs in the establishment and part of the old establishment, seems rolling him out may be a waste of time, a waste-man who cannot be reformed himself let alone become a leader to have any sort of acumen to reform the MET. The MET police force either needs to be abolished, broken up and disbanded. Subjected to a Royal Commission is the best way forward, some are suggesting. We won’t let it lie. Our children physical and mental health rely on us to create waves strong enough to change the tide of anti-Black racism [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/B7FC2F0C-DB5E-4E21-AA54-8FF6F057A869.jpeg?etag=%223c44e-6419ce76%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=480%2B718&quality=85)](https://www.crestadvisory.com/_files/ugd/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf) [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/D83013B2-3444-4934-A698-3CB357486DDC.jpeg?etag=%221fd92-6419c8db%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=480%2B231&quality=85)](https://www.crestadvisory.com/_files/ugd/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf) RID MYTHS & STEREOTYPES TO DEAL WITH FACTS & ROOT CAUSES [![](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/BBC-IdrisElba.jpeg?etag=%22b0f0f-679e45d2%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=1180%2B832&quality=85)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027ffx/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis) ## [Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0027ffx) ## Idris Elba confronts the reality of knife crime, speaking to those most affected - from the streets to the system - in a quest to uncover how we can break the cycle. ### [FACT: MOST KNIFFE CRIME OFFENCES IN THE UK ARE COMMITEED BY WHITE PEOPLE](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027ffx/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis) Knife crime is spreading across the UK, with an average of four people stabbed to death every week. For Idris Elba, this isn’t just a statistic - it’s personal. Growing up in east London, where violence was a constant threat, he understands the critical choices that shape futures. Aware of how easily his own path could have gone in a different direction, Idris - actor, campaigner and man determined to make a difference - embarks on a mission to confront this crisis. Why is knife crime rising in so many places? How do we stop it? Can we balance punishment with prevention? Idris speaks with victims, offenders, police and grieving families, uncovering harsh truths and challenging stereotypes. While often seen as an inner-city problem affecting black and brown communities, the reality is broader: white offenders are the majority of those arrested for carrying knives, and rural areas like Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire and Sussex have seen significant increases in the knife crime rate. In the West Midlands, Idris learns of an unprovoked murder by two 12-year-olds. At Feltham Prison and Young Offender Institution, he meets perpetrators who feel they were driven to carry knives and hears warnings from the governor that by the time the boys are locked up, it’s often too late to turn their lives around. The film features Pooja Kanda, whose son Ronan was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. She highlights systemic failures and risks when children are excluded from school. Idris also visits The Royal London Hospital, where a pioneering programme sees youth workers embedded directly in the casualty department. In these pivotal moments, they step in to support young victims of knife crime, guiding them away from violence. He has discussions about possible solutions with King Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, advocating earlier interventions and pointing to successful initiatives like one in Coventry, where a teenager who once carried a knife is now training as a football coach. Idris reflects on his youth and his determination to create opportunities for others. His requests culminate in a knife crime summit at 10 Downing Street, bringing together those directly affected to influence policy and inspire change. - [WATCH - Duration 59 mins](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027ffx/idris-elba-our-knife-crime-crisis) - First shown 9pm 29 Jan 2025 - Available for 11 months ## BLACK CHILDREN 6 X MORE LIKELY TO BE TARGETED ## CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER [![BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK](https://impro.usercontent.one/appid/oneComWsb/domain/blacklivesmatter.uk/media/blacklivesmatter.uk/onewebmedia/51F165B1-5506-47F7-918A-ACE90F275017.jpeg?etag=%22244a0-6421975c%22&sourceContentType=image%2Fjpeg&ignoreAspectRatio&resize=443%2B298&quality=85)](https://www.crestadvisory.com/_files/ugd/64e09b_f3b0605584624bf5afc024cd9d826e35.pdf "BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK") ### Dame Rachel de Souza ## Strip search of children in England and Wales Contrary to guidance, 6% of strip searches were conducted with at least one officer of a different gender than the child present. Over half of all cases saw no further action taken against the child. Police strip searched nearly 3,000 children between 2018 and mid-2022It confirms just how badly our children are being failed by the the police AND as young as eight strip-searched by police. ### Black children were six times more likely to be targeted than the overall population, figures show. OUR RESPONSE IN BRIEF We [BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK](https://blacklivesmatter.uk/2020and-archives) believe there are many sexual predators, voyeurs, power crazed and obsessed police officers serving an preying on Black vulnerable minors participating in invasive strip searches absent of parent/s and or appropriate adult.

Protest and political dissent are fundamental rights that we should protect. However, these laws have disproportionately affected Black and Muslim communities.

Copyright is just one form of intellectual property. It isn't the same as trademark, which protects brand names, mottos, logos, and other source identifiers from being used by others for certain purposes. It's also different from patent law, which protects inventions. What is “Fair Use”? “Fair Use” or the “Fair Dealing” doctrine, allows limited copying of copyrighted works for certain purposes, including education and research. These limited uses do not require permission from the copyright owner. Whether a particular use is a fair use depends on the facts of each case. The law lists several factors, which courts must consider together in determining whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is a permitted “Fair Use,” or is instead an infringement of the copyright.
