/// The day to commemorate the aspiring architect’s life was announced by Prime Minister Theresa May last year. ///

Let us hope that this will help to remove the high number of other murders that are now taking place on our streets.

[bednobs]

no i was not aware.
Yes, let's hope it helps

[pixie374]

No. If only previous murders did prevent more, that would be great.

[spathiphyllum]

No, it’s easter Monday

[Mamyalynne]

I wasn't, if it can focus the hearts and minds as hoped and make a difference that would be marvellous.

No, I wonder what the mothers of other sons murdered think of it.

Then perhaps I should have headlined my thread thus:

Is Anyone Aware That It Is Stephen Lawrence Day Today, as well as Easter Monday?

Do you mean those mothers who are not Baronesses?

[ummmm]

danny - wouldn't that depend on if it was a racist attack?

[dannyk13]

AOG, I mean exactly what I posted.

// I wonder what the mothers of other sons murdered think of it.//

erm what about - if only it leads to fewer needless deaths

The person I admire is Dorreen - Lady Doreen who kept faith in the 'system' long after I would have given up

Police liaison - was liaising they were passing list s of names to the division which was trying to cover up their rather obvious deficiencies

the police in charge not knowing that one can arrest on suspicion on not on reasonable cause
(gasps in court when he came out with that...15 y later)

Neville gives up early on

ummmm//danny - wouldn't that depend on if it was a racist attack?//
I doubt that would matter to any mother whose child was murdered.

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe Mothers of other victims will hope something good may come from focusing on these violent acts that cause so much grief.

//Stephen Lawrence Day aims to inspire young people to play an active role in their communities and drive social change. In a video message, Stephen’s mum Baroness Doreen Lawrence said: ‘I’d like you to use the Stephen Lawrence Day to be the best you can be and live your best life.’//

[retrocop]

Nope. Just another Easter Bank Holiday Monday and a year older......oh and it’s not raining for a change.

[anotheoldgit]

ummmm

/// wouldn't that depend on if it was a racist attack? ///


How do you know that the recent number of attacks, are not 'Racist Attacks'?

It is not only White on Black attacks that can be defined as 'Racist Attacks' you know.

What about Asian on Blacks or Blacks on Asians?

In the London Marathon on Sunday at the 18 mile point, there will be a Stephen Lawrence marker as a tribute. It's been designed by young architects.

Doreen had a long way to go - -
the first thing she said to Dwayne ( Stephens fren) was
as soon as I heard Stephen had been hurt - I knew you would be involved .....

Sometimes I get the idea that everyday is some sort of Stephen Lawrence day for you. AOG.
