All time hero Benjamin Zephaniah leaves us. So sad. A totally inspirational human being. Offered an OBE he said 'up yours!". Too right! This one is an eternal Optimo fave - https://t.co/ME6BnsxyV9
Devastating to hear that Benjamin Zephaniah has passed. As a writer, activist and patron of PSC he always stood steadfast with the Palestinian people and fought against racism and for justice for all his life.
Rest in Power ✊🇵🇸

7 years ago, Dennis Skinner was thrown out of the House of Commons for calling Cameron ‘Dodgy Dave.’ In hindsight, he should have been given a medal. Cameron netted a cool $10m from the Greensill scam before the company collapsed.
