"Journalists aren’t wrong to interview people in power. But when that’s all they do, they let power – rather than expertise – define the boundaries of legitimate public debate. "

There can be no excuses or euphemisms.

[Simon Dawes @SimonDawes2]

To put the violence directed at British Muslims, Black Britons and asylum seeking down to “legitimate grievances” is to fall for one of the most toxic and intentionally divisive falsehoods in the populist handbook

Could there be a more appropriate book rn?

Britishness as whiteness, colonial amnesia, conditional citizenship and Islamophobia in a continuing hostile environment - this gem by Nadya Ali is a must-read and now freely available

George Monbiot on the racists, the Tories and the media.

[Prof Tahir Abbas @TahirAbbas_]

These riots are more than thuggery: they're the outcome of 14 years of Tory race-baiting | George Monbiot https://t.co/78ZaJt9wqg

[Simon Dawes @SimonDawes2]

Des Freedman @lazebnic on the role of the mainstream media in normalising the Islamophobia behind the riots

https://t.co/VddCg20GRI

[James Schneider @schneiderhome]

This wave of racist violence is not a protest against injustice. It isn't like a Black Lives Matter for white people.

Sharing a country with people of other faiths and skin tones is not an injustice.

This violent, racist movement doesn't represent us and will be defeated.

[Rivkah Brown @rivkahbrown]

Get ready to hear a LOT in the next few weeks about how disinfo created the riots – new social media legislation, endless reports about Twitter and Telegram – and absolutely ZERO about mainstreaming of Islamophobia, social disintegration accelerated by austerity etc

[Simon Dawes @SimonDawes2]
