Yes - with a colleague who progressed from Apprentice to fully fledged employee and then onto a double salary elsewhere in London.

His attitude was that times had moved on and that in the UK movements of the BLM type were ill-judged, trouble making and a road to nowhere. He is of Sierra Leone origin and some of the influences (apart from me as his manager) were how The UK stood by Sierra Leone during a period of political instability and how the UK responded to the EBOLA plague - plus white girls love him.

It makes one wonder why the demonstrators are bothering given that the trigger was typical US police brutality.
