As heart-warming as it was to see thousands of anti-racism protesters rallied in towns and cities across last week, the sad truth is that love has not yet defeated the hate we saw on our streets when the far-Right went on their rioting rampages. In homes across the country families like mine were consoling their scared children and coming to terms with the fact that things would never be the same.
My little cousins and nieces who have known nowhere but London as their home were for the first time in their lives scared to go out. In the family WhatsApp group they were sharing the horrific stories they were seeing on social media. I was actually shocked at how unprepared I was for their reaction to what was going on.
