Ep: 4-9 Colin Kaepernick the National Anthem and Change Britain

In a week that has seen The president of the Philippines call Obama a son of a whore we look at protesting the flag and the start of Tory infighting over Brexit.Colin Kaepernick, the 28-year-old San Francisco 49ers quarterback, has made news after he was spotted sitting during the playing of the U.S. national anthem at a National Football League pre-season game on Aug. 26.Although he took the tactic of quietly sitting in protest against police brutality and the general oppression of Black and other people of colour, the result created a loud firestorm of both support and criticism, Rob should he have chosen this moment to protest against police brutality?This week has seen the launch of a new pressure campaign Change Britain that aims to push Theresa May to fully deliver EU exit. Does Brexit mean Brexit, or at an indecent haste?
