You compared the Black Lives Matter movement to the KKK, in fact you called them the new KKK. However I've not seen Black Lives Matter Protesters hang people from trees, castrate them, mutilate them, and burn them alive. I've never seen children, infants, and pregnant women's unborn fetuses beaten, dismembered, and burned. How DARE you. By the way. All lives matter has NEVER advocated for ANY lives including AND excluding Black lives. In fact the ONLY time you hear all lives matter is in ARGUMENT of Black lives matter. However, that is contradicting, hypocritical, and moronic if all lives actually matter then doesn't that MEAN that Black lives matter? Exactly. You say Black Lives Matter is a division tactic but how can we divided unless you DON'T agree that Black lives matter. You can...

Dear America, The past 3 days have been filled with more vicious murders of Black men. More police officers sitting on paid administrative leave, as children bury their daddies, parents bury their sons, and family/friends bury loved ones. Yes, enough is enough when a group of people have been targeted for YEARS...DECADES...CENTURIES. It's even sadder when that same group of people are treated with less respect and dignity than animals. We're told to "get over it" when we talk about our history. We're told "All Lives Matter" when we say that "Black Lives Matter" because of the number of us killed by police officers. And before anyone comes out of left field saying, "we kill ourselves and that is ignored"; please know that I'm not minimizing that fact. Murder is murder no matter who...

Dear BBC, ITN, and Sky News, As you know, voters in last month’s referendum were repeatedly lied to about the fundamental realities of the UK’s proposed exit from the European Union. Although there were undoubtedly untruths and exaggerations on both sides of the argument, it was clear then, and it is painfully clear now, that the balance of these untruths lay firmly on the Leave side. Presumably, in the run-up to the referendum, you felt (rightly or wrongly) that impartiality rules prevented you from pointing out this disparity. Indeed, it appears that you felt duty-bound to constrain any fact-checking efforts to relatively trivial, tit-for-tat factoids, rather than focusing on any of the fundamental lies underpinning many of the Leave side’s arguments. Much of the analysis...

To the lying thieves of Westminster... My faith in politicians has always been thin, but since the joke that was the referendum even more so. As I've gotten older and learnt more about history and more about the world, it's made me very much appreciate the UK where I was born and raised. We have the NHS (until the Tories have their way), and we live in a civilised society that's not just tolerant, but embraces other cultures too. A country that has survived two world wars, and managed to pull ourselves out of the debt and destruction from them. This last week my belief in democracy, and faith in my country has been deeply shaken. Yes voting itself was an exercise in democracy you may say. An exercise in democracy would have been a referendum based on truth. The country has voted based on...
