In 1998 two men, one black and one white, went undercover in Leeds to reveal racism. Find out what they discovered and how their voices were silenced. www.racespies.com
Pinned
Black and White was broadcast over 3 weeks in Feb/March 1999. By then, the BBC, the Independent Production Team and the two investigators were in conflict, with the investigators silenced by legal threats.

Haha what a whiny headline - these babies are so weak and pathetic - as bullies so often are
“Back in the old days , if you couldn’t afford healthcare , your child died. And we just had to find another 6 year old to climb up our chimney. An inconvenience, but we had to put up with it”

Good to see the government admitting they got wrong a key stat claimed in the discussion following my question in the Lords last week.
I noticed though that the govt was quicker to get back to the BBC querying this than they were to me following up with the minister querying it 😀

Did you see the claim from the Government in the House of Lords that "10.8 million families use X as their main news source"?
Well, the government has admitted it was wrong.

The BBC's engineering of the removal of Robin Ince after 16 years featuring on one of Radio 4's most successful popular science programs, for supporting Trans rights in his personal communications, claiming that "they don't recognise Ince's version of events", reminds me how they treated us in 1999.

I know people who will not understand what is so wrong with Nigel Farage's history of racist invective. I anticipate meeting some of them over Christmas, trying to minimise Farage's school day racial abusive bullying as something that was/is not uncommon in schools across the country.

Farage had to come out hiding early because Tice tried to defend him earlier & libelled the target of Farage’s vicious anti-semitism. Rarely have two people deserved each other more.

Has anyone seen Nigel Farage?
He hasn't been on BBC News for over 24 hours. Has he been abducted? Is he tied up in someone's cellar - like a bunker?
Where could he be?
Why might he be keeping his head down?
Is it the racism, or the bribes (alleged) from Russia?
Let's hope he calls it a day...

The first task Kevin & I undertook when we arrived in Leeds, was to test the local rental market for signs of racial discrimination. While we found no overt vocal racism, there was clear discrimination.

There is something quite ridiculous about Nigel Farage referring the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the Ethics Advisor.
If Farage isn't directly paid by Putin, he's not hiding the fact that he's 100% in lockstep with UK's number one enemy state over Ukraine, and the future of Europe's security.

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

I'm trying not to make this a political account, but that's incredibly difficult at the moment, with the rise of fascism across Europe - powered by Trump's unhinged anti-democracy coalition and Putin's war on Europe.
