Benjamin Zephaniah, Poet and Anti-Racism Campaigner, has died aged 65.

He famously wrote:

"I have always thought that these poor white people and these poor Black people should unite and confront the people who oversee all of our miseries. It is classic divide and rule”.

Yesterday I had the honour of opening the Zaatari Music & Arts Center at Zaatari Refugee Camp, Jordan . This is the largest refugee camp in the Middle East with 60% of the 85,000 residents under 25.

It was an extraordinary privilege to meet young Syrian people and to get the opportunity see them not only as refugees but as musicians and artists and performers. I will remember and treasure their performances for a long time to come.

To be a refugee is often to experience trauma, a removal of identity and the erasure of culture. It’s an existence that leaves little room for dreams.

The Zaatari Music & Arts Center reinstates both dreams and hope. Thanks to this remarkable initiative, in this corner of the camp young people will now have access to classes in Guitar, Drums, Oud, Voice & Dance, a performance space and a recording studio.

Music and the arts can help to heal trauma and to reconnect refugees with their culture and identity.

I was also moved by the dedication of people and organisations working to help refugees at Zaatari. But despite the best efforts of the Jordanian services and many international agencies, international budgets for Syrian refugees are being cut. We must not forget that 110M people are currently forcibly displaced from their homes, which is the most since World War 2.

My visit to Zaatari confirms my belief that only by coming together as a global community to support refugees properly can we give theses young people the beautiful future they deserve.

Little Hitler Alek Yerbury in Llanelli today. Those targeting refugees locally, by providing a platform to him stand condemned, again...
The bitter fruits of Sunak/Braverman's anti refugee bile.
Thanks to Welsh anti fascist.

Doctors are striking this week.

Let’s offer them the #Solidarity they deserve.

Workers come from across the world to care for us in our #NHS

Never let racism & scapegoating divide us.

Welsh #Gypsies & #Travellers are very familiar with the type of 'concerned residents' who are protesting against migrants at #stradeyparkhotel. They have done the same thing to us for generations! An inclusive, anti-racist #Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿doesn't happen on its own, we must fight for it.

The Stradey Park Hotel protests now have nothing to do with jobs, migrant welfare, or public services and everything to do with a racist fear mongering. A sadly all to familiar tale for Welsh Gypsy & Traveller sites.

@ashton_hewitt Disgraceful from French rugby.

Surely there should be a players code of conduct at an international level, so that players who have committed a crime like this aren't rewarded with a place on the international stage - what does that say to the next generation of rugby players?

@ashton_hewitt 💁🏾‍♂️French second-row Bastien Chalureau is facing a six-month prison sentence for a racially motivated attack in 2020.

He was convicted of "acts of violence committed because of the victim's race or ethnicity" and has just been called up to the French squad...

It’s been 8 years since Syrian 2-year-old Alan Kurdi’s body washed up on the shore of Greece and we all responded like it mattered.

This week another FOUR young refugee children are known to have drowned off that very same coastline. You haven’t even heard of them, have you?
