why has

Members of the riot police came to the offices of Hopewell Chin’ono’s lawyers Mtetwa & Nyambirai. They parked nearby and started singing. When a staff member went to check they asked him what he was doing & he told them he was at work. They said they were also at work.
The more they go on about it, the more I want to watch

Their fight is clearly against the media and not the monarchy. What hysteria.
King Charles needs to strip these two poisonous rats of all remaining titles & ties to the Royal Family.. and needs to do it fast before they destroy the Monarchy.

I prefer black as an inclusive term, meaning all racially marginalised ie non-white groups. Rhodesia split us into A. White B. Asian & Coloureds and C. Black w diminishing privileges. I hate divide and rule. Black is beautiful because it contains all colors

Chafrican? Blasian? Hapa? Blackenese? Or just plain Coloured? I was always confused which box to tick. Afro-Asian? Mixed? Or just plain Other. But I’m always proud to be a hybrid, a meeting place of cultures and identities. The edges are where the new breaks through.
This should shock you to your core.
It's South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.
It presents an overwhelming argument.
I've gone through the document, and explain exactly what it reveals 👇
Look who I met👏🏾👏🏾One of my childhood heroes & legendary educationist, former minister of education in the late 80’s Fay Chung. She is still passionate about education. She represents a rare breed of principled professionals who once served our nation. Much respect!

The arrest and detention of Hopewell Chin’ono
@daddyhope
is repugnant. It is the thing that tinpot dictatorships scared of peaceful protests resort to. Hopewell’s arrest is designed to have a chilling effect on citizens exercising their constitutional rights.

As a Black British Chinese Zimbabwean mixed race African (never mind minority ethnic) I am always confused which box to tick, especially when they say tick one. Can I have them all?
Today Equity launches the Independent Commission for Race Equality to help the Union tackle the long-standing discriminatory practices faced by BME workers in our industry & create a road map for BME members in a post-COVID landscape. Find out more here:

BBC4's "Africa's Great Civilisations" still blowing my mind. In 1420, the kings of Great Zimbabwe were eating off Ming Dynasty porcelain in their gigantic palaces. WHY ARE WE NOT TAUGHT THIS IN SCHOOL?
I try not to think about Palestine because to think of the people in Gaza is to have your heart broken. This photo of children in the Maldives in solidarity with children in Israel/ Palestine made me weep. Again.
