There’s literally a satirical TV show on BBC Three called Coconut about an Asian guy called Ahmed Armstrong - a Brexiteer who loves Katie Hopkins; it’s called Coconut because he is brown on the outside and white on the inside. This prosecution is a nonsense and waste of money.

Schools looking for ways into discussions of the recent racist and Islamophobic riots should certainly be using this incredible book! #Leicester schools especially should need no encouragement to support the wonderful local Leicester author A.M. Dassu (Az) UPDATES here -on Insta: @a.m.dassu

It's no suprise that police are wasting their time with me or harassing Marieha Hussain for calling out the coconuts. For this week's Make it Plain podcast I break down the long history of how race relations laws have been used to police us. Listen at make-it-plain.org/podcast/

The Coconut Trial of Marieha Hussain is a surreal TV show in the making. It's basically the UK equivalent of The Boondocks. The cross examinations of expert witnesses Professor Gus John, Peter Oborne and Gargi Bhattacharyya had to be witnessed to be believed. Verdict expected later

Marieha Hussain has been found: NOT GUILTY!!!!!! #CoconutTrial

Stood in the dock fighting for free speech, for anti-racism, for satire, for political activism - all while nine-months pregnant. AND SHE WON! Marieha's well deserved victory statement:

“The govt & mainstream media must change tact from racist scapegoating of Muslims, migrants & people seeking asylum —creating conditions that enable disinformation & racism. Without a shift in our political culture, language & policies, further …violence & hate are inevitable.”

Ecstatic that Marieha was found not guilty but I left the court fuming 😡 To quote Malcolm the #coconuttrial was a 'circus, with clowns and all', Exhibit A for the #PsychosisOfWhiteness We have to keep the pressure up and resist the policing of our thought

Paulo Freire born on this day in 1921 is a voice all educators need to hear “to gain some insight into the upside-down world of the oppressed” or as a reminder to “view teaching as a way to overturn society’s asymmetries of power and privilege.”
