Wonderful short video in my blog with Jah Calo made back in 2019 he was exceptionally talented Jamaican artist who passed away during hurricane Melissa. He talks about his work as a painter and making carvings in Bluefields #Jamaica tinyurl.com/597swe7z

Really good to hear @DrBrookeNewman lecture on her new book today hosted by @WilberforceHull theguardian.com/world/2026/jan…

@Searchlight_mag Important to mention that the Fox and Goose shut their doors to them. Leaving them out in the front looking pretty silly. Also strong opposition by community representatives who walked in front of them the whole march making it clear these are our streets!

UKIP’s much‑trailed “Christian” march through Birmingham yesterday didn’t so much slide into farce as hurl itself headlong into it, with leader Nick Tenconi dutifully assuming the role of altar boy during a pre‑march prayer ritual staged outside a pub. searchlightmagazine.com/2026/02/incens… @uaf @AntiRacismDay

United in #Birmingham Jesus loves everyone #SayNoToRacism

Well done to the Fox and Goose for taking a stand and not letting them in. The pub was shut #Ukip not welcome in #birmingham #racisim Walk with Jesus

No to racism No to lies No to Hate Speech Today in Ward End #Birmingham at the start of the #UKIP So called "Walk with Jesus" well done to all that opposed them and @WMPolice

BREAKING: WE WON. The High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban is unlawful as it is disproportionate to free speech and the Home Secretary breached her own policy. The court ordered the ban be quashed. Details of lifting the ban will be decided and completed at a later date.

I don't understand why BCC haven't removed them from the city why do we have to be plagued by them?

Clearly some racists had to still make a scene #birmingham #moseley

Great to see the flag removal going on today in #Moseley. Brilliant efforts in the rain no place for racists in this city. #birmingham

New post on Substack about Jamaican sign painter Bug Art Sav, who I met back in 2018. The recent hurricane has badly affected the streets and businesses around Savanna-la-Mar where Bug works. He’s asked me to share his story. #Jamaica #westmorland tinyurl.com/bdewaeut
