Foot Notes

<p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>When Guy Kennaway 63 a white middle class overweight English Tory-voting writer met Hussein Sharif 22 an African-born inner city Tory-hating Muslim they assumed they had little in common. But newly related by marriage they decided to go on a walk through Britain to get to know each other. Guy's mission was to explain to Hussein how wonderful British life and culture was and Hussein's was to describe to Guy the realities of life as a young black Muslim in Britain in 2019. Over a forty-mile hike they made friends fell out told stories encountered strangers argued laughed and got very sore feet. Held up by COVID-19 and dramatically diverted by BLM they reached the end of their walk together but for both of them it marked the start of a new and more important journey.</span></p>
