We approach #Windrush season while haters among us continue to seek paths of division But surely there is no finer endorsement of intercultural Britishness than the statement issued by former PM @RishiSunak in June 2023

Starmer is not naive… he may accept that children will find ways around the rules to ‘ban’ under 16’s from social media BUT he offers no credible way of educating the public in the adoption of core values to which he increasingly pays lip-service 🤨

2026 #Windrush season is tinged with a little sadness for me, as I find myself currently unable to promote a celebratory project I proposed in 2017 Though I’ll be respectfully attending three events related to a cause very close to my heart & which I’ve supported for many years
It's Windrush Day on 22nd June and here are all the ways you can celebrate in the city ow.ly/xzpZ50Z9NWT

So many people now court fame & fortune… But simply aspiring to be a compassionate and thoughtful citizen has far greater rewards

I heard someone on the radio describe David Hockney as our British ‘Picasso’… low praise indeed 🤣

Little says more about the hypocrisy of British MPs than continually exercising their gatekeeping power to discourage & deny public complaints to the @PHSOmbudsman while enjoying the privileged freedom of office The #MPfilter serves politicians NOT the people & must be removed

BIG UP the countless nobodies who suffer in obscurity… While the somebodies have their egos relentlessly massaged with appalling regularity Agency is the privilege of Gatekeepers 😔

RIP David Hockney, an exceptionally decent painter & A-list celebrity 🙏🏽 The Art Mafia & mainstream media were instrumental in building his British ‘deity’ status… As they are for saturating us all with Banksy, who I guess will be planning his public tribute 🤔

Patricia McKeown from @unisontheunion is spot on here, an entire community is being scapegoated for political reasons.

It’s patently clear that a fair percentage of people living in the UK have absolutely no grasp of decency, tolerance or respect Even many in high office who use those words, prove by their lack of action that when it comes to core values… British lip-service is world beating 😔

This #MondayMotivation, we honour Akala, artist, educator, and cultural thinker whose work continues to challenge the histories we were taught to accept. 🌍 Through his writing, music, and public speaking, Akala reveals that the story of Britain cannot be separated from empire, race, and class. He reminds us that education is not neutral; it reflects power, perspective, and the stories that are too often left out. His work pushes us to question what we’ve been taught, confront uncomfortable truths, and recognise how deeply inequality is rooted in both history and the present. Akala’s voice urges us to see that Black history is not an add-on; it is foundational, interconnected, and essential to understanding the world around us. His legacy is one of clarity, courage, and truth-telling; reshaping how we learn, think, and engage with history. #TBH365 #AntiRacismInEducation #Akala #DecoloniseEducation #BlackBritishHistory #TheBlackCurriculum #EducationMatters
