I've got a new book of prints of my paintings that you can cut out and hang on your wall. It's called "Faces Of The Empire: The Battle For Humanity's Soul", and I've got some locally-printed copies I can sign and mail to you if you order one.
Here's a video I made about it:

I spoke with my south Asian physiotherapist about this last week. I wanted so badly to offer some reassurance, but I couldn’t. I feel it too. I felt dreadful. That’s why I’m calling it out. Why aren’t councils & politicians & police? Why aren’t people in our communities?

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Silence isn’t a debate, it’s a denial.
This is notable in the light of Goodwin’s recent arguments on X that people from minority ethnic background are not British even if they were born and brought up here. I asked the Reform press office last week if they had a response to Goodwin’s views; silence so far.
