Hackney racism part 2

I have previously reported the racist policies of East London’s Hackney Council, manifesting themselves through the Hackney Empire. It was the case that a mixed bunch of, for example, black and white people all working together and deciding to have a night out at the Empire would have been charged different prices regardless of the fact that their ability to actually pay was the same. The white folks would be charged £12.50, whilst anybody appearing to be black would only pay £2.00.

Hackney racism

As an English White man living in England, I am used to being a second class citizen without any privileges. So, it was no real surprise to learn that the famous Hackney Empire, lovingly restored and still surviving after many years of uncertainty, originally from the golden days of music hall, has a racist policy, sponsored by Hackney Council.
