Can’t sit down.
Can’t kneel down.
Can’t raise a fist.
Can’t stand still in peaceful protest.
Can’t walk in peaceful protest.
If you don’t understand this rage then you need to educate yourself because your part of the problem.

00:00 - So.. it’s #WorldMentalHealthDay today. As someone who had a breakdown and was sectioned in my 20’s I’m here to tell you that there’s no shame in talking about it if your struggling. I haven’t done too bad since! Go easy on yourself today, and get some help if you can. X
- I remember when I played Lord Asriel in @PhilipPullman's brilliant His Dark Materials at the National Theatre years ago and an usher told me an audience member couldn't handle the fact that I was black.

- Good morning. Having woken from a rather sticky nights sleep and checked myself in the bathroom mirror, I can confirm that I am still NOT Marcus Rashford.
- That team, those young men, have done more in a matter of weeks for my sense of belonging and pride than this government has done in 10 years. 🏴
- First time I went to the theatre was on a school trip to see King Lear, somehow 5 of the naughtiest lads in the class got to go. We fully intended to spend the night fucking around but by the end of the play we were all in tears. Totally blew us away.#SaveTheArts
- All across the Caribbean, for many, England was the mother country. When she put out the call for nurses and teachers to come help rebuild after the war they came to assist and start new lives. That they should be turfed out after 50 odd years hard work and graft is a disgrace.
- For some reason in America, a women's vagina needs far more legislative control than than semi-automatic weapons.
- It's been a tough couple of days but I'm heartened by the reaction of many in the UK today. Those young players may have done more for us in defeat than we realize. They've brought the right kind of people together. Maybe it's the truth that really came home.🏴
- Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. ✊🏾
