Today I attended a moving Remembrance Sunday event at Manor Gardens in Islington North.
I read “Anthem For Doomed Youth” by Wilfred Owen.
In memory of all those who have been killed in war, we must strive for a world of peace that treats all human life with equal worth.

Today I stood with peace activists outside Westminster Magistrates Court, in solidarity with those who have been arrested for protesting against genocide.
The proscription of Palestine Action is truly shameful. We must defend the right to demonstrate!

This morning I joined teachers on the picket line outside Capital City College.
They are facing an assault on their pay and conditions. This college belongs to our community — and our community must fight back. Solidarity!

As Toby Young points out, Black people are over-represented in advertising. He somehow forgot to mention they are over-represented in poverty, unemployment and homelessness statistics too.
