In the mid-90s, Simon Woolley believed British politics was largely indifferent to minority communities. In 1995, there had been riots in Brixton, south London, after Wayne Douglas, a 26-year-old Black man, had died in police custody, while, after a spate of street robberies, Paul Condon, commissioner of the Metropolitan police, had written a letter to 40 Black community leaders, saying: “Many of the perpetrators of mugging are very young Black people.” The Macpherson report, which found there was “institutional racism” in the Met, was four years away. There were just seven ethnic minority MPs in parliament.

EAST GULL LAKE A small wildfire apparently sparked by fireworks left charring on pine trees across the road from the East Gull Lake City Hall Monday, July 5.
In what Pillager Fire Chief Greg Ringler described as “a little bit of hoopla to begin with,” the drought-like conditions, scorching July heat and wind direction prompted concern the fire might push into nearby Gull Lake Resort on Gull Lake Dam Road, requiring evacuation.
