Bigotry isn't a thing of the past sadly, so why would religious bigotry be any different? I see an awful lot of bigotry towards people of faith. I thought humans would have moved on from that, but sadly they haven't.

They have indeed. From Sudan being a case in point. The point is not Israel being 'anti Ethiopian', but to highlight that they are issues around race and ethnicity in Judaism and with the state of Israel. As there are with many nations around the world may I add.

Treating cyclists and pedestrians as a mere after thought in an all pervasive car culture.

Interesting paper on the treatment by the Israeli state of Ethiopian Jews in regard to the law of return here: https://pomeps.org/jewish-illegality-the-case-of-ethiopian-jews-between-1955-1975#:~:text=However%2C%20Ethiopian%20Jews%20who%20were,of%20citizenship%20to%20be%20recognized. There is of...

If we include performance poetry in this then I'll add Kae Tempest and Polarbear too.

I completely agree with Mr. Simpson. The fact that always jumps out at me is that the word, terrorist, is indeed loaded. Fully loaded at that and really not helpful at all in any form of news reporting.

Well since Rap borrowed from Jamaican toasters, I'm going with YT. He's from Ipswich, and the clue is in his name (Reggae doesn't get hung up on names, they have all sorts going on!) This is a UK take on Baby Chams big hit, Ghetto Story. Anyone who knows the UK Reggae scene, and Soundsystem...

We've been there twice as part of family holidays in France when the kids were younger. It's an amazing place! I'd definitely recommend it. Same goes for Futuroscope too (y)

I'm afraid British foreign policy, and consequently attitudes, will always out. It's not changed much in centuries, no matter which party is in power.

Fair point. Thanks for responding. The letter is worth highlighting in regards to the threat we currently face in this country from those governing us. I only hope the OP isn't allowed to escalate the thread as a means of by passing their ban from the other thread.

I've reported this thread to the mods. The OP knows full well what s/he is trying to achieve here.

In essence, it also shows how traditionally our society has conditioned boys to become 'real' men that should always 'put on a brave face'. Big boys don't cry remember. Well bollox to all that!, and thankfully our society and attitudes are changing in so many ways for the better. Mental health...

With this being Black history month, and with Avril Coleridge Taylor having lived for many years in Buxted, what better than her Sussex Landscape Opus (all three parts). Also worth reading up on the Chineke! Orchestra btw, who have released the above as part of the album simply titled -...

Good stuff! Great support around you from loved ones is massive and will help see you through I'm sure. Can be helpful to have targets to aim for too, so long as we don't got too hung up about delays in meeting them, or even rearranging them completely. Like I say, none of us knows what the...

Of our recent departures, I have a brief league table of clapping to complete indifference or booing. It's all theoretical though, as I rarely get to games these days. Ali Mac and big Dan Burn are table topping for clapping. Both parted on very good terms. Sulky Trossard is firmly rooted at the...

I'm really sorry to hear that. I really hope you can make a full recovery and, maybe even eventually get back on the bike. Good for you posting about it too. This place can be incredibly supportive and so posting here is a positive first step. I won't go into detail about my nearly 3 years off...

Found a pair of Giant Puffballs yesterday. Both about the size of a size 3 football. Made me think of RDZ.

It's those three words, surely?.... Risk versus reward. I'm fine with it as it's very very enjoyable to watch.

Anyone want mushrooms on their Pizza? :love:
