As the final round of unlocking arrives on 19th July, we discuss the challenges which this new stage of the pandemic will pose. Cases are soaring, and with them the risk of Long Covid and of vaccine-resistant mutations. For our article of the week, we speak with Mo Kanjilal of Sussex Bylines about her recent piece Playing For England: Football and national identity. In the light of the recent racist incidents which occurred after the Euros final, we discuss the reality of being a person of colour in England during big international tournaments, and also the unifying effect which this team had on the country.
Happy “Freedom Day”?
