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

No one is screaming. Pochin is racist. Farage is racist. Reform’s policies are racist. Indulging the “legitimate concerns” excuse is just emboldening them towards ever more vicious extremism. That tide only turns when people call them out and shame them. In conversations. Online. On air. Every time.

It doesn't matter if it's the Conservatives or Labour allowing 8 sites to be sold off every year. Even if a few might be replaced, some won't.
One allotment sold, and lost from community use forever, is one too many.
