Afro hair should be made a protected characteristic, according to a campaign backed by ex-Spice Girl Mel B. The Telegraph has more.
The World Afro Day (WAD) group has written to MPs calling on them to amend the 2010 Equality Act to add the specification for afro hair.
More than 100 public figures, including Mel B, Beverley Knight, Patrick Hutchinson, Fleur East, Evelyn Forde and Prof Patrick Vernon, have signed an open letter to the Government supporting the change.
The group argues that while race is already a protected characteristic, schools and workplaces can still unfairly target people of colour due to their natural hair.
Mel B said she was proud to support WAD having been told before a video shoot during the Spice Girls’ heyday that she had to change her hair.
“The very first video shoot I did as a Spice Girl for Wannabe, the stylists took one look at my hair and told me it had to be straightened,” the pop star said.
“My big hair didn’t fit the pop star mould. But I stood my ground – backed by my girls – and I sang and danced as me, with my big hair, my brown skin and I was totally proud of who I was.
“So yes, I’m proud to support World Afro Day in its call for the Equality Act to protect against afro hair discrimination in the U.K.”

The Home Secretary does not decide what the police do. That is decided by a quango called the College of Policing and a trade guild called the Association of Chief Police Officers, or names something like that. Both have been fully taken over by the wokery and Blairism of the past 25 years.
Freemasons might have something to do with senior officers. They have been established for a long time.
I reckon the coppers were better when the freemasons were in charge, at least they were patriots.
I see Enoch Burke has been arrested again in Ireland because he refuses to conform and turn his back on his principles. Much admiration for him because he’s defiant in refusing to be bullied, threatened or to bow down to the wretched gender ideology which is polluting our societies and poses a serious threat to our kids. What a hero this man is, who just happens to expose the unethical and corrupt state of the law at the same time. Ireland’s police and judiciary, much like the UK, are a total disgrace, to put it mildly;
”BREAKING: Teacher Enoch Burke arrested at Wilson’s Hospital School after refusing to endorse and affirm transgender ideology.
Judge Barry O’Donnell, who made almost €400,000 from 2016-2018 representing TUSLA as a barrister, ordered his arrest.
TUSLA is the Irish State ‘Child Protection’ agency, an organisation saturated with LGBT ideology, urging staff recently to learn about cross-dressers and drag performers, and making acceptance of LGBT and transgender ideology a condition for fostering children.
What a mockery to expect Enoch Burke, a Christian teacher, to sit before this man and expect justice.”

They would probably make it mandatory to have the jab before adoption. That is what seemed to happen to a mate who was in the adoption process. But I remember his partner was a Carer is that might have played a part. I remember him saying that he had to show that he had the jab — and me being outraged that he found entertaining more than anything.
I suppose Killing 80 year olds in the park is the new scumping or knock a door run is it?
All seems to be accepted as normal these days!
BUT, don’t you dare tweet about it!

Are there any Non, Non-crime Hate incidents we can ‘commit’?
Or is it non-crime -hate- non-crimes?
It’s getting confusing.
I can image a principled officer saying, ‘get back to me when you have an actual crime to report because we are rather busy’. and then getting the sack by the Woke paramilitary wing of the Police.
Isn’t theft under £100 now legal by default. Just give the crime number and forget about it!
I remember being astonished to read a book called “The Strange Theory of Light and Matter” by Richard Feynman. —-I discovered that light can be in two places at once.
But I never knew Police Officers had this same remarkable quality. They can be apprehending someone who just wrote a naughty sentence on social media while at the same time arresting someone for carrying a knife or for actually having just plunged a knife into someone. —-Quite remarkable. ——But actually Police Officers are not light beams at all are they? And since they cannot be in two places at once perhaps it is best to be in just the once place and forget all about the naughty sentences.
You can’t use a word like ‘hate’ in this way because it doesn’t take a genius to see that to configure this word thus is essentially an attempt to pretenend to do one thing whilst actually doing another. And there is no place for black magic in our society. Kennedy talked about the perniciousness of secrecy and cited Athens where it was a punishable crime to shy away from difficult controversies. And hatred isn’t an anti-spritual state if properly applied. Perhaps hate the sin but not the sinner is the best formulation.
