Be it on volunteering at a homeless shelter at Christmas, in praise of Dead White Men, the dire state of Black British theatre (aka the Theatre of the Ghetto), the lack of black undergraduates at Oxford University, homophobia in reggae music, the dangers of street slang and “ghetto grammar”, the riots of summer 2011, macho gang culture, the Haitian earthquake, why Hamlet doesn’t need a hip-hop soundtrack, Tommie Smith’s infamous salute at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, Muhammad Ali at 70, violence against women, mixed-race Britain, if we’ll ever have a Black British PM, why we shouldn’t listen to young people, life in the townships on the Cape Flats, the prospect of a Black James Bond, rehabilitating Rambo, on being Coloured and Proud, Sizwe Banzi Is Dead, on using the word niggardly, the South African photographer George Hallett, on the casting of a black Iago, on the Exhibit B  exhibition, on Cape Townian novelist Alex La Guma’s And A Threefold Cord, on visiting a school on the Cape Flats, a letter to the city of Cape Town, on Jamaican-British photographer Charlie Phillips, on diversity in the British media and the Arts, on why Rhodes Musn’t Fall, on the 50th anniversary of the destruction of District Six in Cape Town, on starting a theatre trip program for young learners from a township school on the Cape Flats, “decolonizing the canon” or bemoaning the dearth of ethnic platelet donors , the real Cape crusader, why Alex La Guma needs to be commemorated with a statue, on why Cape Town airport should be named after the Black Dickens or The Black Blood Donor Crisis, Lindsay is not afraid to tell it like he sees it.
