Smoke and Mirrors. Cameron whips up racism to hide the introduction of a permanent low wage economy.

In times of great economic crisis the temptation for politicians to whip racism as a means of popular distraction is rarely resisted. Seeking to scapegoat “immigrants” and “foreigners” for the social and economic ills of the country is the last bastion of the political scoundrel.

I attended the TUC Black Workers conference 8-10 April both as a member of the TUC Race Relations Committee and a delegate for the PCS union.

Harry’s Place and Searchlight and their active collusion with racism.

It is with deep regret that I write this. I offer my sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family of  Kingsley Burrell Brown. I cant imagine your pain right now. I had thought that the suspicious death of Smiley Culture was shocking but the death of Keith Burrell after being arrested by West Midlands Police as  reported by the Voice leaves me feeling  physically sick.

The Campaign for Justice for Smiley Culture aka David Emmanuel attended the Metropolitan Police Authority  monthly meting this morning. We were there to hear a report back from the Acting Commissioner Tom Goodwin report on key policing issues over the last month. Around 100 supporters packed the meeting.
