It might be that your sentiments have produced a reaction.

This is intended as a matter surrounding Lewis Hamilton and the demonstration that has now become more relevant.

The following is specifically not about the political make-up of an organisation, more in the interests of clarity and the knock-on effects of the reputation of the OP subject.

It has now been made apparent that there is some movement which just might clear up some slight misunderstanding surrounding the reality. A Black Lives Matter group has applied to the Electoral Commission for official recognition as a formal political party within Britain.

Such formal recognition is required to enable applicants to stand for election to government. The so-described ‘official’ BLM group said it is not them and that they are unaware of any of their members having made such an application.

The Electoral Commission say “We are not able to reveal any names due to GDPR requirements. If the application is approved, the names of party officers will be published”.

Think a storm is brewing.
