In regards to the statues, I am mixed (although 3/4 white and people usually assume I am just that) and I agree with
@Aboveallelse - I didn't even register all the statues in London and around the country. I can see why they are the focus of people's anger currently, but there needs to a systemic change, and the pulling down of statues is inspiring the far right to gather under the pretence of 'protecting our history' which unfortunately will resonate with all the rabid Brexiteers of middle England and may set the BLM movement backwards in terms of public sympathy. I don't think any significant progress in regards to race relations will happen under the conservative government though sadly.

Last point on statues (promise). The sad thing is the BLM movement has been completely derailed by talk of statues (twitter has deleted thousands of accounts bots from Russia directly spreading fake news to inflame anger and cause racial divide).
Obviously they are a bad thing and should come down, but not be destroyed because everyone has said here we must be able to confront the past in order to move forward. They need to be brought down and kept in a museum. But this is just a sideshow. Boris johnson tweeting about this rather than the thousands of Covid deaths? Massive distraction technique from him too. There has been lobbying in Bristol since God knows when for them to come down. No-one from BLM central mentioned anything about Churchill.
Anyway I'm derailing myself now!
I second whoever said that Clemmie will do an interview perhaps with a magazine. Is Hello still going?
Disgraced Instamum and midwife tells her story. She will own up to being a
witch, blame it on the trolls (the bullied became a bully) She is going to become a massive advocate for women's mental health (perhaps partnering with a poc equivalent?). The huns will all be creaming their pants and it will be business as usual.(she might give the fashion / interior stuff a rest whilst she sneaks back in). But all this will not happen just yet. She will have to let the whole BLM stuff die down first.
