Change the drug laws, change the gun laws, put an end to homelessness etc. but all we're going to get is British comedians apologizing for taking the pee out of black celebrities on some *** tv show made over 20 years ago and footballers displaying slogans on t-shirts after they score, so they can feel they are making a difference whilst in reality, nothing changes. It's pathetic.
Very thoughtful post, entirely agree
