Black lives, that's still a rule, isn't blanko? You can't go on to black lives matter protest or remarch or anything. And have you spoken to the b b c about that? Not publicly, i have. I have spoken to people in the b bc privately about it, yes. What was interesting for me is that there are aspects of black lives which directly relate to government policy. And so things like defond the police. So how do we make sure that black people's in that black lens, and that black perspective is is listened to? Bcause i don't think it's that complicated, to be honest with you.
