Nearly a year has passed since the May 25, 2020, killing of George Floyd, an anniversary that brings with it the informal deadline among Democrats for police reform. Despite having all that time to put together and pass a police reform package, the fate of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a second version of which passed the House in March and stalled in the Senate, remains as muddled as ever.

Some Americans are misunderstanding the Queen’s speech and people are amused Kate Plummer
Scores of non-Brits have misunderstood the Queen’s speech, much to the enjoyment of people on social media.
A number of American Twitter users have overemphasised Her Majesty’s role in the proceedings, in which she formally reopens Parliament and outlines the Government’s priorities for the year ahead.
Just to be clear, that’s the Government’s priorities, not hers.
The sovereign has more of a figurehead role and does not initiate legislation in Parliament, nor vote on it.
She reads out the speech in the House of Lords, but it was written by ministers. Her being there is just another part of the pomp and ceremony of British political culture.
From Monday cinemas, museums, theatres and concert halls will be allowed to reopen although there will be capacity limits on large events. Venues will be able to open with social distancing, with capacities capped at 50 per-cent or 1,000 people for indoor shows, and 50 per-cent or 4,000 people outdoors. Elizabeth Symmons, corporate communications and marketing manager for BHLive said: The news that we can reopen theatres for events is very welcome indeed. We can’t wait to see customers and colleagues enjoying live shows, entertainment and culture once more. The Circus of Horrors 25th Anniversary will be visiting next month.
Sarah Millican will be performing at the BIC. (BHLive)
