I'm pretty sure that exposing the working class to global capital to intentionally suppress wages and destroy the Labour movement probably didn't help race relations

But historically the british labour movement has a pretty good record on these kinds of questions so it's pretty sad to see it all come to this

the british labour party doesn't care about the british labour movement

On one side of the table you had a guy who had moved against the political current to arrange a top table agreement and was willing to force through unpalatable constitutional changes to cooperfast a diplomatic solution. On the other side you had a bemused Thatcher who didn't exactly understand what all this was about.

HONORING THE VICTIMS OF THE ATTACK IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION

As a mark of respect for the victims of the attack on police officers perpetrated on Sunday, July 17, 2016, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, July 22, 2016. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-first. BARACK OBAMA
