It’s not his slimy little face sneering with pride as he dons his immaculately ironed Nazi cosplay outfit, nor that he is the Conservative Association Chair in one of London’s most densely Jewish populated boroughs, what I find most terrifying about this photograph is his response: “He could not rule out” wearing a Nazi uniform.

An eighties baby, I was raised when collective actions and protests were the norm. I remember my mother taking me on the Poll Tax marches and seeing everyday folk smashing shit up. People were not embarrassed to show their anger and their absolute resolution against the Poll Tax going ahead. Thatcher’s Neo-Liberal doctrine was incredibly […]

Or so they say, but I often write poems as gifts. The poem below was written for one of my most cherished friends who is an incredible mixed media artist.

Saw this writing challenge and loved the self indulgence! I’m sure there’s a profound moral message to be raised but this post is not it. I’m keeping it vain and shallow because – well catharsis rocks x So probably the biggest misconception about me is that I’m an extravert.. But despite the carnival feathers and […]

Anti-Racist School Setting Action Plan I have been very quiet recently, partly due to co-authoring this. This document is a collaboration by teachers, parent activists and community workers to provide a strategy and resources to support schools with their transition to an Anti-Racist school setting. “Education is the strongest weapon we have to change the […]
