Not sure the world-wide demonstrations supporting the George Floyd protests are unique but they do seem to be special in some ways - perhaps igniting the drive to be accountable for the past, where such is quite relevant as to why we still have issues concerning race now. I've never been shy to admit that the UK, like many other countries, has a very chequered past and needs to own up to such. And that we must deal with those issues where equality is often not the norm for so many. But will this carry over to other issues even if we might not see the progress hopefully that comes from this current attention?
Has the pandemic in some way brought us more together, and might we see something similar concerning other issues - like climate change or more equality in general, for example?
Or is this just fanciful and it will be back to normal once the crisis has subsided?
