On 21/2/25, we honoured Malcolm X at the Shaheed Udham Singh Welfare Centre, marking 60 years since his assassination. Organised by the Indian Workers Association (GB) & MX 60 Collective, we reflected on his legacy of resistance, justice & empowerment.

@RajwinderSPal Unfortunately we are all conscious of this.

[Raj Pal. Free Palestine @RajwinderSPal]

In this slaughter of the innocents, there are many, many sickening things. None more so than the silence of liberals otherwise happy to build lucrative careers in academia & media on the backs of black ppl's historic suffering. But cat got their tongues come Palestinian lives.

[Yasmin @yasnessa]

May Allah protect them and grant them shifaa, no child should ever be able to describe something like this

[Raj Pal. Free Palestine @RajwinderSPal]

500 murdered in a hospital . This is collective punishment. Will English Premier League still fly Isreal flags? Where are sanctions? Where are the ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leadership. War crimes without impunity & with western complicity. Breathataking hypocrysy.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

There can be no justification for this. None whatsoever.

If people can not be safe in a hospital, where can they?

This attack must be unequivocally condemned in the strongest possible manner

Ceasefire is needed now. Innocent men, women & children must be allowed to leave Gaza

Thanks to @mukhtardar260 for the invitation, and to the IWA, @WeAreBRIG, and The Heath Bookshop.

And I got to see the gorgeous new Grunwick Strike mural on Soho Road on my way (from a bus window anyhow).
