Brilliant British story about asylum - and OCD — London listings: events about Africa, Asia & Latin America
Ignore the title, Insane Asylum Seekers, which suggests a whacky comedy straining for laughs. Think instead of an intimate, brilliantly written and performed monologue about a British Iraqi family.

Welcome to the new course designed to eliminate aggressive driving.
Your instructor is Abz, a speed awareness facilitator and anger manager specialist.

Digital-ID systems have denied access to food aid, shown algorithmic bias, provoked massive personal data leaks and put sensitive data in the hands of bad actors. It's always political, usually unfair, and often retards international development goals.
