JOIN IN AND LET'S MAKE CHANGE TOGETHER!


We stand united as a social civil rights movement in solidarity, both in the UK and globally, to bring about positive change. Our aim is to promote peace and unity by emphasising the importance of Black Lives Matter, advocating for fair and humane treatment of Black individuals akin to their white counterparts. We firmly believe that every person has the inherent right to receive racial equality and social justice in the communities in which we reside alongside others, and to be regarded as equal citizens in our respective nations.


Our platform operates with a humanitarian ethos at its core, devoid of any political affiliations, partisanship, or violence. While some content on our website may touch upon political themes inherent in a democratic society, our primary focus remains on promoting equality and justice for all.


We prioritise humanitarian concerns above all else and recognise that racism extends beyond political boundaries. As such, we are committed to sidestepping any distractions or attempts to impede our mission of dismantling racist systems and eradicating the harm wrought by racism both locally and globally.


It is important to note that we do not engage in any form of political activity, nor are we associated with any political entities or campaigns. Our core objectives lie in advocating for racial equality and social justice within the framework of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

As a part of the Black Lives Matter Movement, we operate independently from the official political organisation known as the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc in the US, as well as its associated UK chapter, Black Liberation Movement, aka  ukblm. Our focus remains on supporting individuals, groups, and organisations aligned with the Black Lives Matter Movement, and fostering alliances with progressive businesses in the UK and abroad to advance our cause.


We are dedicated to challenging and dismantling racial disparities present in various systems, institutions, and structures to promote racial equality, equity, and justice. Our tireless efforts center on ensuring that Black lives are valued and respected, eliminating racial discrimination, and establishing a society where racial equality is the norm.


Ultimately, our goal is to create a world where Black lives can thrive without fear of discrimination, where they can coexist on equal footing with their white counterparts, enjoying the same rights and opportunities that are rightfully theirs as human beings.

FACTS 

BRITISH HISTORY


Many nations worldwide have experienced British invasion, occupation, or intervention at some point, highlighting the widespread influence and dominance of the British Empire. This historical reality has often been viewed as a dark chapter in the history of humanity, marked by atrocities committed by the British Empire from the 17th century to the present day.


Studies indicate that Britain has had a hand in the affairs of nearly 90% of the world's countries. This legacy is not confined to colonialism or the transatlantic slave trade but extends to events such as the colonisation of Australia, the conquest of America, and the establishment of military, economic, and political control on a global scale.


The few exceptions where British forces have not officially intervened are marked in yellow, emphasising the exceptional scope of British colonialism and imperialism. Despite operating more covertly today, the influence of the British Empire continues to shape global dynamics.

The repercussions of British imperialism are still felt in various regions, influencing socio-political structures, cultural practices, and economic frameworks. The impact of colonisation has left a lasting legacy on indigenous populations, shaping their identities and worldviews.


Contemporary discussions often center around decolonisation efforts, reparations for historical injustices, and the need to address systemic inequalities stemming from past imperial endeavors. The effects of British intervention continue to reverberate across the globe, fueling ongoing debates about the legacy of empire and pathways to a more equitable future.

Sadiq Khan vows to reform policing after scathing Casey report

London’s Mayor says he’s determined to address deep-rooted issues that saw the force described as ‘broken’, ‘rotten’ and lacking public trust


Sadiq Khan vows to reform policing after scathing Casey report - Voice Online



WHAT IS THE CASEY REPORT?


The Casey Report & Met Police


BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK

The Casey Report unveils shocking catalogue of racist, misogynist and homophobic behaviour and abuse across the force.


OUR RESPONSE


YET STILL the SO call leader, Police Commissioner Rowley refuses to accept the label. The racist culture is deeply embedded. Institutional racism is woven in its make-up and design. Baroness Casey has advised leaders of change to accept the report in full as conditions and descriptions as described in the report. However, Mark Rowley STILL refuses to acknowledge the tight-fitting label and description of 'institutional racism', He's just NOT prepared or willing to recognises the findings in its entirety, deeming labels are not useful and political and ambiguous.


Mark Rowley views institutional racism as political.


We of course have an opposing view

BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK see Mark Rowley is an integral part of the problem of racism in the MET and he clearly demonstrates his attitude with racist micro-aggression towards Black citizens by continuing to gaslight Black people experience, and trauma.


Baroness Casey laid it all out in the latest report. These been previous commissioned reports - The Lammy, MacPherson and Lord Scarman report, 3 previous reports before this 4th Casey Report. Past reports eventually gathered dust and all but disregarded.


How can/will the Casey report be different. Will the rug and brush just get that much bigger to help shift the dirt deeper underneath for another few decades more. NOT if we have anything to do with the landscape to help break the old fashioned out of date model of policing.


Mark Rowley is now 30yrs in the establishment and part of the old establishment, seems rolling him out may be a waste of time, a waste-man who cannot be reformed himself let alone become a leader to have any sort of acumen to reform the MET.


The MET police force either needs to be abolished, broken up and disbanded. Subjected to a Royal Commission is the best way forward, some are suggesting.


We won’t let it lie. Our children physical and mental health rely on us to create waves strong enough to change the tide.













RID MYTHS & STEREOTYPES TO DEAL WITH FACTS & ROOT CAUSES


Idris Elba: Our Knife Crime Crisis


Idris Elba confronts the reality of knife crime, speaking to those most affected - from the streets to the system - in a quest to uncover how we can break the cycle.


FACT: MOST KNIFFE CRIME OFFENCES IN THE UK ARE COMMITEED BY WHITE PEOPLE


Knife crime is spreading across the UK, with an average of four people stabbed to death every week.


For Idris Elba, this isn’t just a statistic - it’s personal. Growing up in east London, where violence was a constant threat, he understands the critical choices that shape futures. Aware of how easily his own path could have gone in a different direction, Idris - actor, campaigner and man determined to make a difference - embarks on a mission to confront this crisis.

Why is knife crime rising in so many places? How do we stop it? Can we balance punishment with prevention?


Idris speaks with victims, offenders, police and grieving families, uncovering harsh truths and challenging stereotypes. While often seen as an inner-city problem affecting black and brown communities, the reality is broader: white offenders are the majority of those arrested for carrying knives, and rural areas like Avon & Somerset, Bedfordshire and Sussex have seen significant increases in the knife crime rate.


In the West Midlands, Idris learns of an unprovoked murder by two 12-year-olds. At Feltham Prison and Young Offender Institution, he meets perpetrators who feel they were driven to carry knives and hears warnings from the governor that by the time the boys are locked up, it’s often too late to turn their lives around.


The film features Pooja Kanda, whose son Ronan was murdered in a case of mistaken identity. She highlights systemic failures and risks when children are excluded from school. Idris also visits The Royal London Hospital, where a pioneering programme sees youth workers embedded directly in the casualty department. In these pivotal moments, they step in to support young victims of knife crime, guiding them away from violence.


He has discussions about possible solutions with King Charles and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, advocating earlier interventions and pointing to successful initiatives like one in Coventry, where a teenager who once carried a knife is now training as a football coach. Idris reflects on his youth and his determination to create opportunities for others. His requests culminate in a knife crime summit at 10 Downing Street, bringing together those directly affected to influence policy and inspire change.




BLACK CHILDREN 6 X MORE LIKELY TO BE TARGETED

CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER

BARONESS CASEY OF BLACKSTOCK

Dame Rachel de Souza


Strip search of children in England and Wales


Contrary to guidance, 6% of strip searches were conducted with at least one officer of a different gender than the child present. Over half of all cases saw no further action taken against the child.


Police strip searched nearly 3,000 children between 2018 and mid-2022It confirms just how badly our children are being failed by the the police AND as young as eight strip-searched by police.


Black children were six times more likely to be targeted than the overall population, figures show.


OUR RESPONSE IN BRIEF


We BLACKLIVESMATTER.UK believe there are many sexual predators, voyeurs, power crazed and obsessed police officers serving an preying on Black vulnerable minors participating in invasive strip searches absent of parent/s and or appropriate adult. 


WE CONSIDER STRIP SEARCH IS STATE SANCTIONED SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ITS TIME TO CHANGE THE LAW.

ACTION FOR RACE EQUALITY

Black communities, protests and policing in the USA and UK




The groundswell of protest actions in 2020 across both the USA and UK, including Black Lives Matter protests and other anti-racist protests, led to both governments’ proposing and enacting legislation to restrict protest rights and secure rights of property over civil rights. Protest and political dissent are fundamental rights that we should protect. However, these laws have disproportionately affected Black and Muslim communities.

What's the difference between? What about patents?

Copyright is just one form of intellectual property. It isn't the same as trademark, which protects brand names, mottos, logos, and other source identifiers from being used by others for certain purposes. It's also different from patent law, which protects inventions.


What is “Fair Use”?

“Fair Use” or the “Fair Dealing” doctrine, allows limited copying of copyrighted works for certain purposes, including education and research. These limited uses do not require permission from the copyright owner. Whether a particular use is a fair use depends on the facts of each case. The law lists several factors, which courts must consider together in determining whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is a permitted “Fair Use,” or is instead an infringement of the copyright.
