Summary
Institutionalised racism creates strong community, which can prevail

Review

Scenes in Notting Hill were wonderful, but the trial went on a bit - as it did in real life, and as it had to in order to be true to hat actually happened.

A salutary reminder that the institutionalised racism that created the Windrush scandal recently has strong and deep roots, and at the same time the power and dignity of community can sometimes break down the barriers.
