“Black boys from Lewisham”: residents respond to Tory MP’s controversial tweet – video

Eastlondonlines took to the streets to ask local residents their thoughts about a controversial tweet written by Lewisham-born Conservative MP, James Cleverly.

The tweet references an act of civil obedience that occurred last week, when two young activists from Just Stop Oil threw a can of Heinz tomato soup at Van Gogh’s famous Sunflowers painting.
