"Sometime this week, I arrived at a realisation with the urgency of a cruise ship groaning into its final port: I can’t see a way out. " oh yassmin - thank you for those words that hit my plexus this morning. I'm lying in the early morning sun - weary, tired, and messy in the mind. I had been ignoring the UK (mostly), and then stupidly listened to some of a speech from a woman at the Tory conference and watched a quiet white man hustled out for saying she was wrong. We of course are contending with the 'R' word here. I've been wondering if you have you been struggling to not say anything on this yes or no matter - or would just rather not? I get why. It's been disheartening certainly. I've been thinking a lot about the term "unconscious bias" and your talk on this. In my opinion, the govt rollout of the referendum has been riddled with unconscious bias in their language which unfortunately has opened the door to open racism. Sigh. As for your points on despair- thank you for this encapsulation. It hit home. Thanks for the review of The Creator, I'm going to try and see it this week.
