Some things are in fact global.
The mother of murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence has said police are still failing the families of black murder victims, 10 years after a landmark report blamed institutional racism within Scotland Yard for helping her son's killers escape justice.
Doreen Lawrence accused the police of giving black Britons a second-rate service and said the country has still not stamped out racial injustice.
She spoke to the Guardian to mark next week's anniversary of the publication of the Macpherson report, which blamed "professional incompetence, institutional racism and a failure of leadership" for the blunders in the investigation of her son's racist murder.
