Fair dues to the sister. She denounced institutional racism and made us and the Wind Rush generation fellow travellers. Tougher battles lie ahead sis, and the gloves will come off but the journey of a thousand miles start with a small step…

Faith in humanity restored, at least for one evening. Bravo 👏

Interesting what’s happening to @Twitter +discussions around truth and authenticity. Here is another truism aimed to my Albanian compatriots in UK. In the absence of fairness and justice, undeserved notoriety is infinitely preferable to undeserved disdain+disgust. Embrace it ❤️

BBC continues its sensitive coverage of the Albanian plight in 2022. This time with an interview by yours truly round the 15’ mark speaking in defence of human dignity, political accountability and broken hopes. Hope you take the time to listen 🥲

Here’s our film from #Albania in full

“Albania is suffering a kind of amnesia about the dictatorship, and there is little interest in our suffering and resistance.” Do not miss this gem by renowed Albanian dissident poet Visar Zhiti, translation by Ani Gjika thebaffler.com/latest/invictu…

Still full from lunch ⁦PeckhamBazaar⁩ when Friday Lunch Club went rogue-Thursday Sharing plates are big portions of utter deliciousness and it’s a beautiful space all wood and light and perfect for feasting and happy times with friends.

The purists will always maintain that fried red mullet is the king among fish. Here at PeckhamBazaar we concur wholeheartedly. This iteration is infinitely sexier than one of Ismail Kadare’s love scene

So this is how‘Orientalism and misappropriation’ feel like to its target. Maybe unintended but certainly quite effective 😂

INTERVIEW: The Ukraine army is a defeated army and Ukraine is a defeated nation, says Scott Ritter. Their mouths has been issuing cheques their body can’t match #ScottRitter #Ukraine Follow The Mother of All Talk Shows with George Galloway Scott Ritter x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Someone should offer to read her tea leaves 😂🤣

Alain de Botton tribute band from Albania writing for an English speaking audience. Echoes of local saze on the background valiantly filling in for cultural commodification. Not the most egregious form of Orientalism, to be sure

On point
