You may have actually noticed a distinct lack of interest in my thoughts on election in Iraq. It’s not that I am lethargic on the issue or indifferent to the idea in any way, it’s just that I think the whole thing is like a circus with similar entertainment, if not deadly, values.
The reason why [...]

No Comments »Nobody is saying it so I guess I’ll have to. Nobody is talking about the lineup of the current England cricket: they are all white players!
Why is there such a big silence on that issue when anyone who knows the terrain knows that sport and entertainment are two of the areas Black people are given [...]

No Comments »We switched on the TV in the early hours of Saturday morning to catch a bit of tennis on Eurosport and the first image on the screen was Serena Williams, stretched out on the canvas, a doctor hovering over her.
