'It is about what is going on in England.'

‘It is about what is going on in England and the rest of the world. I feel we are lucky we don’t have armed police officers on the street because we are still stereotyped and judged by these police officers over here, just the same [as in the US].’

He continued: ‘I can’t even count how many times I’ve been pulled over. I can’t count how many times I’ve gone to a club and not got in, how many times a security guard has followed me round a shop. I can’t count how many times that somebody has asked me if I’m a footballer because I’ve come out of a nice car.Andre explained that, as a black man, he’ll only ever be perceived as a ‘footballer, a rapper or a drug dealer.

‘It wasn’t something I’m not used to seeing,’ he said of Floyd’s death, when different cases of police brutality have been occurring for a long time. ‘Which is pretty sad to say. It’s maybe more disturbing for other people but for me and a lot of black people, it’s become a normal thing to see.’Love Island stars Amber Gill, Luke Trotman, Siannise Fudge, and Mike Boateng have been attending the protests.

Keith Lemon star Leigh Francis apologises for 'offensive' portrayals of black people on Bo' SelectaIn an Instagram video, the comedian says he 'didn't realise how offensive' the show was when it was running. His ironic portrayal of MJ cleverly lampooned him for trying to change his race by cosmetic surgery. Playing Craig David as a Ken Loach throwback from Leeds was equally clever, for almost the reverse reason. It's called satire. He also played a horny bear. Why no one even mentioned It 🤔? & I don’t care it was funny as hell & I even know people of colour that used to laugh at it shouting out Bo Selecta! If we not allowed to laugh anymore what a sad world! 😔 His whole show was 'offensive' was it not? You black and white people alike. Struggle to see why one is worse than the other.
