YouTube (Google) is no better. I complained about an advert for an electric heater that claimed 300% efficiency. Not upheld.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Why stop at the decalogue? Leviticus 19:34 should be next. And will older children have Matthew 5:21-22 on the wall too? 'Thou shalt not kill' is a bit unambitious without it.

Pretty poor that Parliament couldn't have clarified its own definition in the Equality Act 2010, at some point in the intervening decade and a half. Many people will assume that some kind of value judgment is being made here, not merely statutory interpretation.

Writing about Appleby Fair today. I want people to understand the extent of the prejudice that the Gypsy and Traveller communities still face. I'm struggling with the brutality of some of it, even just secondhand through the page. Racism is not ok, not against anyone. Ever.
