Does Black Lives Matter UK have an agenda beyond racial equality?

Columnist Matthew Syed was worried when he saw the Black Lives Matter UK website: "It talked about such things as dismantling capitalism. That sounded to me like an agenda that goes far beyond the idea of racial equality".

Discussing censorship with Mike Graham, Syed added "when you think about somebody denied a promotion because of the colour of their skin... to what extent are their lives materially improved by deleting a scene from Fawlty Towers? If the answer is not at all, then the righteous energy should be directed towards those substantive changes to the law... that can make a difference. Otherwise it just becomes a kind of symbolism".

On the subject of cancel culture, Syed says "the demographic on Twitter is not representative of the wider population... it's like the amygdala, that part of the brain that slightly overreacts to stuff".
