During quarantine I've been using this slot to put out a little round up of some of the things going on in my world; which had brought a little bit of fun and laughter for people.

We made another episode this week, but the situation that has been unfolding over the fast few days in Minneapolis and across America makes it clear that this is no time for anything trivial. 

I've taken a few days to reflect and the first thing that I need to say is Black Lives matter. This affirmation might seem self-evident to many of us, but the tragic reality is that day after day millions of people across the world are held to different standards simply because of their race.

So, it's not enough to just say that Black Lives Matter: all of us can and must do more in order to make that statement a reality as soon as possible. Let's make this "new normal" after Coronavirus one in which Black people are not persecuted for living their daily lives in the same way everyone else is privileged to do so.

Whether it's through petitions, donations, or just starting conversation with your family and friends, anyone can play a part, however small, in making change happen. 

Let me be very clear, injustice comes in many forms around the world: nobody, whether because of race, gender, sexuality, religion or belief, should suffer discrimination. This gives us a pause for though to be better people, and to treat everyone with the respect they deserve. 

My condolences to George Floyd's family and to many others who have lost loved ones in these tragic circumstances. Again, Black Lives Matter. Stay safe and take care.
