nice article about my old job + background about the "gods of rap" photo exhibition + some of the images => Being Tour Manager for the Wu-Tang Clan: Unseen Photos themalestrom.com/interviews/… via @themalestromHQ #wutangclan #godsofrap #coventry @WuTangClan @PrintMF @MarketCoventry
fed up with these tiresome weekly reports - spotlighting inequality is big business, yet nothing changes. gatekeeping in the creative industries is simply class struggle - plenty of jobs for working class people though: cleaning, rigging, stagehands, security, driving, etc.
I see the same story every year. It’s the same in journalism. A lack of opportunities for working-class people, precarity and poor pay pushing working-class people out and, of course, nepotism and elitism ensuring posh people stay in. Depressing.

this is so brilliant, hope someone is making a film about it :)
Angela Rayner has approved plans to dump 1,200 illegal male migrants by Piddington.
Not a single female Labour MP spoke to the women of Piddington.
Not a single backbench female Labour MP showed up to a debate about it.
Labour care more about ideology than women. Disgusting.

good point well made councillor Ahmed not all s/heros wear capes #coyi
Tower Hamlets councillor reportedly part of group that called for Israeli player to be kicked out of West Ham
It has been revealed that local Tower Hamlets councillor Faysal Ahmed is a member of a Facebook group which posted a video labelling West Ham football player Manor Solomon a “baby killer”, and called for his dismissal from the team because he completed mandatory military service in the IDF prior to his football career.
Cllr Ahmed, who is reportedly the Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Life Changes, appears to be active on the Tower Hamlets Palestine Solidarity Network (THPSN) group. He is listed as a “Top Voice”, a role which is described as an individual who “consistently share[s] content your group values.”
We understand that the group also includes multiple other Tower Hamlets councillors.
Local councillors should be focused on local issues. Cllr Ahmed is meant to be looking after the borough’s young people, not apparently contributing to a social media group which is attempting to hound a player out of a football club because of their connection to the Jewish state.
With antisemitism at record levels and Jews increasingly pushed out of public and professional life, politicians should be putting out the fire, not fanning the flames.
Tower Hamlets Council must investigate the activities of any councillor who is purportedly a member of this heinous group.

Good to join @fbunational Cleveland reps in Parliament today, meeting with MPs to make the case against further cuts to firefighter numbers and fire cover.
Cleveland has already lost 194 firefighters since 2010. Enough is enough.
We need investment in our fire and rescue services, not more cuts that put public and firefighter safety at risk.
Solidarity with Cleveland members.
Cleveland Fire Authority plan to cut cover at Thornaby Fire station to address a £1.2m deficit.
But Cleveland has already lost 194 firefighters since 2010, that's 31% of its service.
These cuts have had very real consequences on public and firefighter safety.
FBU Cleveland are saying enough is enough. Reps attended Westminster today to speak with MPs Jonathan Brash, Luke Myer, and Andy McDonald.
Firefighters job is to protect the public and that is exactly what FBU members are doing by fighting these cuts.

Just saw the video of the NF defiling the memory of Britain’s war dead yesterday. So many mouth breathers together in one go. Literally astonishing

Thank you, South Minneapolis.
I am truly humbled, and grateful for the trust you have placed in me to serve our beautiful community for another term in the Minnesota State Senate.
Now, let's get to work.

If a reform uk councillor, mp or member is canvasing you, focus on getting away and finding help. you do not owe anyone politeness or an explanation. #arrestfarage

we didnt really speak, every time he appeared he looked and nodded .... I was working as the DJ for the West Ham family BBQ, a great social and Nuno came to sit in the shelter for a quiet cigarette throughout, maybe 3 times per hour?

like to think he was using the space as a private quiet zone to make intricate tactical plans far from the madding crowd. .... also im proper hoping that AREOLA will get back in the 1st team as he is a quality keeper and also a brilliant house DJ .. onwards and upwards #COYI
