I read this exert from a piece written by an Asian lass in one of our national newspapers:

"Call out racism and Islamophobia when you see it and have those difficult conversations with friends or family if needed.

Use your privilege to stand in places we cannot and, if it's safe for you, consider going to the anti-fascism protests. If you see a face you recognise taking part in terror on the streets – tell the police.

Finally, offer a smile to people of colour if they are on the bus with you or walking past. It sounds small and insignificant but it’s not. It lets us know that we're safe around you."

Just to remind myself (and you lot too) these are people who are frightened to go on the streets of Britain purely because of their skin pigmentation.

What a pfhucking mess.
