'It is the best example of media gaslighting I have witnessed in my life.' Why do so many people think Harry and Meghan are the 'wronguns' and the Royal Family, including Prince Andrew, are the 'good guys'? asks James O'Brien.

"Abbott apologised for her mistake immediately, but 10 months on is still suspended pending investigation. One wonders what more there is to investigate, beyond whether Black women are allowed a second chance & whether issues of MP security apply to them." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

One thing that I always teach my students is that there are always more than two sides to any story… ‘Hidden in plain sight’: the European city tours of #slavery and #colonialism theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

This is a gross erasure of how the UK built its wealth. The C of E, Guardian and Lloyds are prominent examples that openly show how our church, media and financial systems are rooted in colonialism and slavery This is not a matter of conjecture, but fact theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Politicians like Nigel Farage can’t be trusted to remain impartial. That’s why I’m telling Ofcom to ban politicians from presenting on news channels to stop any bias on our news before the General Election. Can you sign too? 38d.gs/n25e

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere. It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees. We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

Can someone explain why Channel 4 commentator for the #ParalympicGames Opening Ceremony needs to explain African counties as being part of #Africa and their #colonial past? You don’t hear him say… “Belgium a county in Europe colonised Congo for decades”

"UK #immigration laws ‘cannot be uncoupled from #racism’, say minority ethnic MPs" is an important debate to be had which links to my own research on racist public policies and #ethnic #minority #media theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o… youtube.com/watch?v=kxm3Dv…
