Truly saddening but not surprising. Most NHS Trusts acknowledged in their response to the Birthrights inquiry into racism in maternity care birthrights.org.uk/campaigns-re... they had no clear routes for reporting racism. Staff and patients are suffering from racism and it costs all of us billions.

What gets me in this video is that people are skeptical: "Is this for real? Is there a catch? Are you rich? Why are you doing this?"
