Quote from 20 year old Arnie Joahill, UEL student from Hammersmith, London
"I remember the crucial point for me and how I became more aware of the police is when they said, "We'll see you around black boy and if you ever say anything we are gonna come and get you."
Arnie was aged 14 years at the time of receiving this threat from the police, following an assault upon him and his friends by the police.
Quote from Jamie Joseph, Artist & Love Music Hate Racism Solidarity Campaigner, @LMHR 2012
“I enjoy what LMHR brings to the table and what they are doing for the country and people in society…it’s for getting people to understand the world that we are in at the moment isn’t as great as it should be and we are trying to make it better…people understand that together we can make things change.”
