Much of our political and media establishment created the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim sentiment that’s now out of control violence in the UK and did so over years and decades to the point where it was embraced by the mainstream and normalised I’m not interested in anything that’s not a critique of that #Media #riots #UK #knowyourhistory Link to full vid in bio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym17GlDVBFk The fact that it’s four years old tells you everything you need to know about how predictable and preventable this is
Still furious with @uklabour leadership for failing to be true to its humanitarian principles on Gaza for playing the populist on immigration for its treatment of @jeremycorbyn and @officialhackneyabbott But those two are back and she is Mother of the House And I’m absolutely joyful at the reelection of all these Queens 👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾 @abena.oppongasare.mp @bell_ribeiroaddy @officialhackneyabbott @dawnbutlerbrent

“It is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of heart, distorting glass. When they approach me, they see only my surroundings, themselves, of figments of their imagination – indeed, everything and anything except me.” ~ Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man How to Know A Person, by David Brooks #books #bookstagram #alwayslearning #knowyourhistory
Loved this book! Scattered The making and unmaking of a refugee By @graamna 🇸🇴🖤✨📖 #books #bookstagram #read #stories #refugee #journey PS I Didn’t mean there has never been a visible Somali community in the UK cause I know about Cardiff and South Shields and all the others, and if you don’t know those histories they are important so please look into them and you should also read @nadifamohamed1 ✨ I just meant I remember when there was a more visible Somali community because of people fleeing the civil war and coming to South London in the 1990’s so please don’t troll me 🤓

Bob Marley More on him soon ✨🇯🇲🌍 Thank GOD that #keanureeves thing was a joke by the way (love Keanu but that rumour about him playing Bob Marley was very triggering and you know Hollywood moves mad sometimes 👀) Anyway. Catch A Fire is such a mesmerising biography I might have to read it twice Also, today is the 50th anniversary of the #ericclapton cover of I Shot The Sheriff So I just listened to that cover for the first time Yeah. My thoughts are in the video #music #legacy #covers #reggae #musicindustry

Emotional about this one guys We are talking all things Bob Marley’s life and legacy, and it’s personal! For so many reasons, and you will never guess them 🙂 Drops today 🏃🏽♀️👂🏽🎧🎤 @peterfrankopan @wonderymedia #Legacy #BobMarley #reggae #music #Jamaica #Rastafari #Podcasts #listennow
This is the story of one man who was born, lived and died in the same town, worked the same job for half a century, never travelled abroad, lived at home with his mother until she died, never married or had children, and had only one friend, with whom he ate breakfast, lunch and dinner every day He also – in no particular order – hounded Martin Luther King, drove Marcus Garvey out of America, put Leon Trotsky under surveillance, put the whole of America under surveillance, persecuted women until they took their own lives, and changed America in ways that are still resounding catastrophically in contemporary politics You kinda can’t ignore this guy or his legacy Me and @peterfrankopan break it down! #Hoover #legacy #listennow #podcasts Link in bio 👆🏽
