I resent Nigel Farage using It Ain’t Half Hot Mum to justify his racism. Yes, OF COURSE, Michael Bates appearing as an Indian would absolutely not be ok today - however he was born in Jhansi, fluent in Urdu and loved India.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁
The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

An excellent piece by Yasmin Khan in @theguardian.com – and I’m very relieved the preposterous case against her has been dropped. www.theguardian.com/food/comment...
I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began
The granting of patents and trademarks to foods and words from the global south is part of a long colonial grab. It’s time to realise we share what we cook, and what we call it

As someone who went to an unpleasant English public school, it's notable how remarkably racist you would have to be for people to remember it specifically against the general backdrop of racism
