I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth — where much of my family still live and where I went for sixth form. It’s a proud, diverse, working-class community.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

The political and media establishment normalises this racism, but we won’t stay silent. We stand with all our communities and against the far-right.

... a “horrific war crime,” centering Israeli suffering as the starting point of the story. ... erases the decades of siege, occupation, and systematic killing... It makes Palestinian resistance seem like senseless violence rather than a response to unending colonization.

After journalists, we're now arresting lawyers under the terrorism act. Riverway Law took on Hamas's case against the government challengng their proscription as a terrorist group.

I thought BBC reported on Hannibal Directive? I might be mis-remembering but wasn't it on the evening news when all the papers reported it?

No wonder MI6 want to go public. They're not happy.

Activists should be aware that the common reason for secret evidence in secret courts is to conceal the existence of security service agents and agents provocateurs within activist groups.
