The English Football Association: conspicuous by their silence
England Lionesses star Jess Carter suffered horrendous abuse online following her team’s win over Sweden last week
Head Coach, Sarina Wiegman confirmed that whilst Carter remained a strong individual eager to progress, the team felt compelled to address the situation publicly.
“It’s really sad that we have to be occupied by this,” Wiegman said. “Of course, she’s not the only one who gets this abuse or racism.”
Midfielder Georgia Stanway suggested the incident had strengthened team bonds, stating: “If anything it has probably brought us together as a team.” She acknowledged the complexity of eliminating racism from society and football, adding: “We don’t know the steps that it takes in order for that to happen, but right now all we can do is show our support.”
We are yet to hear comment from the FA (Jess’s and the England Lionesses governing body)

Diane Abbott’s Suspension: a reckoning with race, honesty, and political optics
- Is Labour genuinely committed to understanding intersectional racism, or enforcing a rigid orthodoxy?
- Does this suspension reflect deeper biases within the party – biases that silence Black voices when they speak inconvenient truths?
- Is this about protecting communities, or protecting political optics?
Abbott has spent decades fighting racism in all its forms. She condemned antisemitism unequivocally in the interview, yet still faces accusations of minimizing it. Her supporters, including former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, argue she’s being unfairly targeted for articulating a nuanced view—one that challenges the party’s comfort zone.

Destroying outdated stereotypes is so easy.
To be kind and more considerate requires very little energy, if any at all. Yet, perception rather than fact fuels a proliferation in hate crimes, fears, segregation and paranoia that is still prevalent in today’s modern society. Many of those perceptions, assumptions and stereotypes often lead to missed opportunities for so many.
With all this negative energy reaching epidemic proportions, the sheer determination to persist must surely be exhausting – in other words, hatefulness is hard work!
If we simply banish ridiculous and erroneous stereotypes, life naturally becomes easier, less stressful and far healthier. Treating others the way we would like to be treated, showing kindness, real leadership guarantees fair opportunity to everyone.

Windrush
Why is it so important to show respect for the Windrush generation?
A rarely chronicled moment in British history of a much maligned, and shamefully disrespected Caribbean community. Who in answering a call, came in their droves to Britain on a mission of kindness at the behest of their Queen.
An extraordinary epic journey
The ‘Windrush’ generation are those who arrived in the UK from Caribbean countries between 1948 and 1973. Many took up jobs in the nascent NHS and other sectors affected by Britain’s post-war labour shortage.
The name ‘Windrush’ derives from the ‘HMT Empire Windrush’ ship which brought one of the first large groups of Caribbean people to the UK in 1948. As the Caribbean was, at the time, a part of the British commonwealth, those who arrived were .. READ MORE>

Britain’s terrifying history
As a nation, we are constantly bombarded with political sound bites and the latest off the political conveyor belt is ‘human rights’. However, could Britain also have bloodstains on its humanitarian hands?
Steven Dryden – the British Library provides a brief history.
The Buggery Act of 1533, passed by Parliament during the reign of Henry VIII, is the first time in law that male homosexuality was targeted for persecution in the UK. Completely outlawing sodomy in Britain – and by extension what would become the entire British Empire – convictions were punishable by death. >
