OXFORD campaigners have welcomed the guilty verdict of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, but say more needs to be done to eradicate racism. Chauvin kneeled on the neck of the African-American man for more than nine minutes during an arrest in the city of Minneapolis in May 2020, ignoring pleas that he could not breathe. Mr Floyd’s death sparked protests not only in the US, but in the UK - including Oxford - and around the world. Following a three-week trial, last Tuesday a jury found Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter.

Across England and Wales, 25 cities have seen ‘Kill the Bill’ protests today. The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill will make it easier for police to ban or shut down peaceful protests if they are considered too disruptive or likely to lead to disorder. Protestors gathered in Bonn Square from 2pm, with various groups present, including Black Lives Matter, Extinction Rebellion and Oxford Youth Strike.

Picture: Liam Rice Pat Carmody, from Stand Up To Racism, said: “The Bill being proposed is one of the most draconian and irresponsible pieces of legislation. “The idea we can’t have a small protest without facing the risk of appearing in the dock is disgraceful.

Percent change:-3.17% (vs. £117m in 2019)
Scotch exports to Australia have been growing steadily for several years now, but 2020 marks the first year that the market has made it into the top 10 most valuable markets, signalling its growing importance going forward.
Scotch exports to Australia totalled £113m in 2020, which although a 3.17% drop on 2019’s total, was still enough to edge into the top 10 with Mexico and India both dropping out to make way.
That success is likely to continue should the UK’s negotiations for a free trade deal with Australia prove successful. Talks for a deal began in June 2020, with the next phase of discussions set to take place in February 2021. Assuming an agreement is reached, trade relations with Australia and the outlook for Scotch can only get brighter.

Frontline staff have slammed the Government s proposed one per cent pay rise announced last week, which feels like a real kick in the teeth , after Health Minister Nadine Dorries said the country could not afford to give them more than that. Ian McKendrick, communications officer for the local branch of Unison Health union, said that the extra pay is a huge insult and that healthcare workers are really angry .
