This is systemic racism. Dividing children up by race and deciding “Black and Global Majority” kids need a “therapeutic space” to “process the lasting effects of systemic racism”. Indoctrinating young people with “us” and “them” mindset.

Hackney’s Mayor talks about giving some low-income residents 100% council tax discounts while spending money on generational trauma counselling for the “Global Majority”. Here’s a crazy idea: stop spending money on ideological crap so you can decrease everyone’s council tax!
With over £50m in savings to make over the next three years, the challenges we face are greater than ever.
But, by working more collaboratively with our communities, we can together build a better Hackney.

Why are we subsidising pretty much every theatre? Nowadays it’s rare to find a theatre that doesn’t have taxpayer funding. They are mostly registered as charities, even though they aren’t, any more than a cinema is. Newsflash: theatres are meant to sell tickets and make a profit.

Hackney Council has a Young Black People’s Mental Wealth Fund.
£10k for organisations “building mental wealth for young black people in City and Hackney”.
Unironically it asks what “an anti-racist world would look like”.

Not sure why Georgia Gould looks so chuffed with herself. I went to Camden earlier and it looks awful.
There’s basically a homeless encampment under this bridge - San Francisco style - and rubbish everywhere.
Last night I formally resigned as a Camden councillor.
It has been an absolute privilege to represent Kentish Town for 14 years & lead this great borough for 7 years.
I am grateful to our community who always step up to help in hard times and make Camden such a special place.

If things are that dire over in Hackney, why are you giving £50k to a "Young Black People's Mental Wealth Fund"?
Aside from being divisive, isn't lack of school equipment - for every child - a more pressing issue?
