Dear friends of OBV
Last thing first this week. With one day to go before our event supporting the Alternative Vote I would like to invite you to be part of it. I know to many this debate sounds boring. The reality is this is a once on a lifetime opportunity to give a greater voice for our communities right across the UK. I want the political establishment to see that you care about this. David Lammy, Oona King and Vince Cable will be there urging Black Briton's to vote yes at tomorrow's event. There are still a few places left. Register and come and join us tomorrow.

In regards to last week's stories Dawn Joseph wrote a very moving piece about joining the Smiley Culture march the other weekend. We were deeply saddened about the attack on Zahra Kazemi Saleh, who was set upon for wearing a hijab. David Daglish rounded on the misguided comments that Comedian John Cleese made about London not being 'English' enough. Lee Jasper wrote wrote another hard hitting piece highlighting the Met Commissioners concerns of budget cuts and how it will affect policing in the capital. And lastly I was pleased to show solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters in Scotland at the Scottish TUC conference in Ayr
