Because they genuinely want to be part of the conversation. the majority of people believe that we should be equal. that doesnt mean they dont hold problematic biases and beliefs. we all do. but if we havent got space to be wrong, if we havent got space to talk openly, then we dont change as a society. we just end up in silos. and that pushes dangerous thoughts and dangerous people further and further underground. say his name! george floyd! the protests have been many, a movement reignited. but...

You know, while lots of people are willing to claim that - that was the case within - the white heat of the moment of george floyd dying. that white heat has gotten . cooler and cooler and cooler. we had a commission. here that suggested that inequalities in pay, - jobs, you know, the lack of black representation at the highest levels i of business, higher| incarceration rates, stop and search rates — - which are the same in america and the uk and france — nothing to do with - systemic racis...

The proposal being put forward has been stalled. so that tells you people, as clive said, are not really ready to actually move forward. it becomes news, something that everybody wants to be part of in terms of human empathy, but then people just go back to what they are used to. i think this is systematic of why many people, for example, we talked about the covid a while ago, why many people of asian, african, caribbean backgrounds are refusing to take the injections, because they see the injec...

The next six months and days fighting for and pushing for. like i said, i think this is a tipping point for our democracy. i think in a century there will be books written about this period that were talking right now in which the story is not yet written. is it going to be that we recovered our democracy and we came back from the insurrection on january 6, that we strengthened our democracy and we moved forward as a pluralistic country with people of many different backgrounds and creeds and ta...

The impetus to come together for common cause. i though parenthetically thats what you do, and thats where it will be empathy is the fuel of democracy. let me say that again. empathy -- empathy is the fuel of democracy. our willingness to see each other not as enemies. even when we disagree, to understand what the other is going through. state the obvious. our democracy is imperfect. it always has been. but americans of all backgrounds, races, creed, identities, sexual orientation have long spil...

The following decades. in 1992, at a rugby medical conference in new zealand, the message from two neurosurgeons is pretty blunt. they say theres good evidence of some permanent effect from a single concussion. and if they have a third concussion, they shouldnt be selected to play again and should be advised to take up a non—contact sport. world rugby told us there are different opinions on how concussion should be managed, but they were unaware of any current guidelines or research recommendi...

But what next? this is a marathon, not a sprint. you cant turn cultures around. its a huge ship, it takes a while to turn. i think we have to commit, i think we have to take individual responsibility. we really need these young people with all these different backgrounds to come in and shape the type of police service our community deserve and need. and bring their perspective, bring their culture to the organisation. i believe that we are on our way to an equal society. _ its just going to take...

To come together for a common cause. and i might know parenthetically thank you, taps, thats what you do. and thats where we will be preserved, for empathy is the fuel of democracy. let me say that again. empathy -- empathy is the fuel of democracy. our willingness to see each other not as enemies, neighbors, even when we disagree, to understand what the other is going through. to state the obvious our democracy isnt perfect, it always has been, but americans of all backgrounds, races, creeds, i...
