This is now considered old news but it focuses on changing the face of africa so I had to replay it - #BandAid has done more bad than good for #Africa,' Fuse ODG https://t.co/PY4txgz9yw via @LBC

It's great to see celebrities (#EdSheeran) correcting past wrongs by explaining what's wrong with cultural artefacts that celebrate #whitesaviourism. Its time to stop this colonial patronizing attitudes

Another example of #methodological #whiteness and lazy #stereotyping - ⁦@jamieoliver⁩ apologises after his children’s #book is criticised for ‘stereotyping’ #FirstNations #Australians https://t.co/ooF7VmLc59

"UK #immigration laws ‘cannot be uncoupled from #racism’, say minority ethnic MPs" is an important debate to be had which links to my own research on racist public policies and #ethnic #minority #media

Can someone explain why @Channel4 commentator for the #ParalympicGames Opening Ceremony needs to explain African counties as being part of #Africa and their #colonial past?

You don’t hear him say… “Belgium a county in Europe colonised Congo for decades”

Far-right violence hasn’t come out of nowhere.

It is the result of anti-migrant rhetoric from mainstream politicians who scapegoat refugees.

We are an anti-racist movement that believes in a more inclusive world. We defeated the far right before. We will defeat them again.

Politicians like Nigel Farage can’t be trusted to remain impartial. That’s why I’m telling @Ofcom to ban politicians from presenting on news channels to stop any bias on our news before the General Election. Can you sign too? https://t.co/r1N6QkVYzH

This is a gross erasure of how the UK built its wealth. The C of E, Guardian and Lloyds are prominent examples that openly show how our church, media and financial systems are rooted in colonialism and slavery

This is not a matter of conjecture, but fact

The protection of #journalists is on the decline as heavy handed police, governments and business people hold all the #power. When will this change. #Malawi Journalist arrested over article accusing businessman of corruption https://t.co/x9IfU6NKQb

One thing that I always teach my students is that there are always more than two sides to any story…

"Abbott apologised for her mistake immediately, but 10 months on is still suspended pending investigation. One wonders what more there is to investigate, beyond whether Black women are allowed a second chance & whether issues of MP security apply to them." https://t.co/KBapDMXzUH

'It is the best example of media gaslighting I have witnessed in my life.'

Why do so many people think Harry and Meghan are the 'wronguns' and the Royal Family, including Prince Andrew, are the 'good guys'? asks @mrjamesob.
