I agree with Lenny Henry – Black Britons deserve reparations
If the Georgians could find the money to compensate slave-owners after abolition, modern Britain can pay out £18 trillion to the descendants of those who actually did the work, says Ava Vidal

Zack Polanski is gay. Stop pushing the woman hypnosis boob story. If any gay man tells me something he thinks can improve my udders after I’ve fed 3 children, I know he’s coming from a place of love.

Drop it!

I was on LBC last night discussing Operation Raising The Colours. It’s not patriotism it’s plain old fashioned racism. Look who is championing it for goodness sake!

I’m so sick and tired of the police dragging their feet. They phoned me when I was on stage, despite me telling them I was going to be on stage. The appointment they put off until yesterday has now been put off until later in the week. If I wasn’t so determined I’d have sacked it off by now!

I don’t agree with moving Carnival to Hyde Park www.independent.co.uk/voices/notti...
Notting Hill Carnival belongs in the streets, now more than ever
Last year’s race riots around the UK echoed the very reason why Claudia Jones founded the Carnival in 1959, writes Ava Vidal. There needs to be a compromise made around street access and crowd safety

Imagine claiming to have supported Corbyn’s core aims and principles then making excuses not to support this man.

We must never forget the 72 people who died in the Grenfell Tower.

We must change the system that was so unjust to ignore repeated alarms.

Too many people are still living in unsafe buildings because profit is being placed above people's lives.
