TUNE IN: on my @LBC show today we interview this man Tapiwa Matukutire who was a victim of a terrible false tip off, and a traumatic arrest by immigration officers. Hear him being arrested naked infront of his 18 month old baby below #HostileEnvironment
Read about it here: buzzfeed.com/amphtml/emilyd…
This is how to listen to my @LBC show LIVE lbc.co.uk/radio/how-to-l… OR listen back via this archive lbc.audioagain.com/presenters/40-… all available on the Global Player APP globalplayer.com
So typical of those who have little to fear from false profiling, using the trope “aggressive” below to describe the pleas of a falsely arrested, terrified, traumatised, pleading, naked, innocent father fearing deportation & separation from his child, who was left alone upstairs.

I think in terms of intellectual precedents. Others think to win political battles. As crucial as some of these are, are we winning battles only to lose the war? Is a culture of allegation, trial by the mob & guilt for expediency good for any of us? All sides seem to be doing it.
Can anyone help me understand when an allegation should (as urgent as it may be) derail a career & when not? Or should every allegation derail a career? And when highly politicised careers are targets of derailment, when do our politics also get factored in. Or never? Or always?
The worst part is, I hear from people all the time who are now scared - petrified - to ask these very basic, justice based, questions from fear of the mob. That can’t be good. At all.

Pakistani PM Imran Khan’s concessions to the worst, bloodthirsty frothing fundamentalist inquisitors, continues unabated - just as all liberal Muslim commentators said it would.
Aside from fact that according to the 1951 Citizenship Act, 60% Afghans born in Pakistan already have citizenship rights, this is good. Now, isn’t it time Arab countries granted Palestinians citizenship instead of abandoning generations in camps as fodder? voanews.com/a/pakistan-pm-…
Jordan hosts 2.1 million multi-generation Palestinian refugees, no citizenship. They dwell in camps. Half a million likewise each in Syrian &Lebanese camps,no citizenship. Yet Arab countries grandstand, moan & hypocritically pontificate over the Palestinian cause internationally

This white man (I called him Matt) stood between me & racist thugs in Southend Essex, UK outside Chalkwell Park Fair, circa August 1993. They made me watch as they stabbed him multiple times. I was only 15. This man saved me. I never got to thank him. Please help me find him 🙏🏽
Please help me @CarlEveCrime See above
The extract is from my autobiography Radical. I stupidly only realised today that I can use social media to try and find him. If you know him or can help me find him, I would like to finally give him the hug I’ve been waiting to give him for 25 years. You changed my life, brother

Wait... what??
Here’s an idea for you: fuck off trying to police speech, and focus on your jobs policing you know.... crime. Oh, and do take the intern off your twitter account.
Er... oh, is that ⬆️ “non-crime hate speech” now?

Labour leader Corbyn wanted to make this point at @UKLabour’s National Executive Committee yesterday. He was overridden. Regardless, it looks like he emboldened his bigoted supporters to vandalise London instead. Corbyn is responsible for this google.co.uk/amp/s/www.stan…
And yet, Corbyn’s dogmatic disciples will still blame our collective disgust at his leadership on “the elite” and “the MSM”. It all sounds rather Trumpian, don’t you think? ft.com/content/142b8d…
The UK Labour Party has entirely succumbed to the #RegressiveLeft. You are dead to us
