This seems like a really important conversation to be had in UK public services. Fairness must be a condition of efficiency measures; short-term AI-driven cost savings will come back to bite us if they deliver bad outcomes that set back the creation of a fairer society.

Five years today, the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down in Bristol. Boris Johnson accused protestors of trying to "photoshop" the past and "lie about our history". I'm reposting below a thread I wrote at the time: on history, memory, and how we decide who to celebrate in our public spaces.🧵
