In 1954, the FBU was the only union with a TUC resolution on Britain's colonial policy, demanding higher living standards, full trade union rights, and abolition of the colour bar.
By 1955, FBU delegates announced that the London County Council had agreed not to uphold a colour bar in the LFB.

In the 90s, amid pervasive racism in the UK and the rise of the BNP, Black and ethnic minority firefighters faced systematic harassment within the fire service.
In 97', FBU members formed the Black Advisory Group—now the B&EMM section—to challenge this culture and support each other.

L'Université de Strasbourg a saisi la commission de déontologie sur les liens entre le professeur Fabrice Berna et la Libre Université du Samadeva, une organisation qui vend des thérapies fondées sur des médecines non conventionnelles. Les révélations du Point concernant le professeur Fabrice Berna pointent-elles vers un conflit d'intérêts ? La commission de déontologie de l'Université de Strasbourg (Unistra) et le référent intégrité scientifique devront notamment répondre à cette question suite à une saisine par la faculté de médecine et de l'Unistra.

In parts of Scotland, first fire appliances are taking 50 minutes to arrive at incidents, while fire deaths have surged by as much as 450% in Ayrshire.
This is the cost of sustained underfunding.
