Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract.

Jamaica Street, Oswald Street, & Buchanan Street, the legacy of slavery is hidden in plain sight. We are joined by 2 fantastic writers who have uncovered the histories of slavery & how entangled the British establishment was in it, as well as recovering the histories of enslaved people themselves.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Privatisation at its worst is simply the act of removing costs from the government’s budget and transferring them to the public, so allowing them to balance the books without increasing unpopular taxes.

They had to remove it & applogise because some thought this Never Again means Palestinians too!

They mistakenly thought Palestinians are humans…

Leaked ‘Gaza Riviera’ plan dismissed as ‘insane’ attempt to cover ethnic cleansing
Prospectus proposes forced displacement of entire population and puts territory into US trusteeship A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population. The Washington Post published on Sunday a leaked prospectus for the plan, which would see the forced displacement of Gaza’s entire population of 2 million people, and put the territory into a US trusteeship for at least a decade.

James Joyce went by train from Dublin to Trieste. A hundred years on, it’s a very different experience

It is more than a century since Joyce crossed Europe by rail but there is still inspiration to be found on the overland journey to Trieste
