Culture is downstream from law. Woke doesn't die until the law and the incentives for it change. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

'King Charles honours ‘immeasurable’ impact of Windrush generation'. 'A profound and permanent contribution' They have survived, and thrived, in an often hostile environment. It makes you proud to be British.

Originally posted by becky Strangely, there was little evidence of any of those with the Windrush generation (apart from a bit of reggae played in their own homes), or with the generation after - it's not until you get to the 3rd and 4th ones that this stuff starts. It's almost like poverty and inequality are the main drivers of criminality, rather than some vague notion of culture... who knew?
