The London I entered was a great bustling metropolitan city at war, an imperial power fighting to hold on to that empire.

This, for very many of us, was the hard dilemma.

As much as people try to pit black entertainers against one another, because of the underlying feeling that there can't be two of us, or, all of us can't do well.

A small girl became increasingly paralysed by her parents' frequently violent rows. Sometimes she would spend hours standing completely still in the toilet, simply because that was where she happened to be when the fight began.

Her parents were unable to understand why they found bottles of sour milk in every room in the house.
