I feel it is time for me to withdraw from X, recent events and esp comments on that and British policy from Elon Musk are just too much.

Amazing visit to The Panama Hat Company in Luton today! Fantastic hand made beautiful hats. Using traditional methods, some of their machinery is over a century old.

Just attended and gave a paper at the Social History Conference 2014 at Durham Uni. I used to regularly go and left it far to long to get back to it. What a treat and such a positive environment. Thank you to the organisers for all your hard work.

Iran: Shocking but True!

Sharifeh Mohammadi, a labor activist and mother of a nine-year-old child, has been sentenced to death on charges of “rebellion.”
The trauma inflicted on her innocent child is a heartbreaking consequence of this injustice.
While the whole world is focused on the so-called election in Iran, this is the news that is being buried.

After seven months of imprisonment, she remains in the women’s ward of Lakan Prison (Rasht Central Prison).

This is the harsh reality of the Islamic Republic. A woman, a labor activist in Iran, is condemned to death for fiercely opposing the regime’s exploitation policies against the working class. She refuses to let this unjust system masquerade as a defender of workers.

Sharifeh Mohammadi’s trial was skewed by the regime’s narrative, linking her to the Kurdish Kumala Party to secure a death sentence—a punishment frequently imposed on Kurds in Iran. Just a few months ago, four Kurds from this party were murdered after 19 months of disappearance. Sharifeh Mohammadi’s case sets a dangerous precedent; if her death sentence is not halted, expect more unjust verdicts against labor activists, especially women.

After seven months of imprisonment, she remains in the women’s ward of Lakan Prison (Rasht Central Prison).
The plight of activists like Sharifeh Mohammadi is a stark reminder of the brutal realities faced by those who dare to challenge the regime. The international community must not turn a blind eye to these human rights violations amid the political spectacle.
