“Some things you can see coming, like when sunlight fades, dusk falls, darkness rushes to pervade. It’s inevitable. Like Enoch’s rivers of blood, staining London streets in ’81, ’85, 2011; like successive, regressive immigration acts; like institutionalised racism; like the outpouring of disgust following the Windrush scandal; like Brexit and the eruption of barely dormant racism, a slap in the face, figurative and literal; like life and its ups and downs. Like change, it’s cyclical, it’s inevitable. There’s a family in SW9 who are the descendants of the Windrush generation. They saw change coming but were slow to react. Too slow.”
