I take this opportunity to remind people, once again, that prior to this weekend the Jewish Labour Movement was publishing letters it had written to the Green party saying it was antisemitic and trying to dictate its membership policy. This issue would always be used to reject an electoral alliance.

When he was 20, in 1984, Barnes scored one of England’s greatest goals when he lit up the Maracanã by slaloming though the Brazil defence before he stroked the ball into the net. Barnes mentions that game when I ask him if he can pinpoint the worst moment of racial abuse in his career. “It wasn’t the worst because I was laughing at this idiot on the way to Brazil, but it might show an interesting insight. Some National Front supporters were on the plane with us when we flew to Rio. One of them was sitting just behind us because we were on a commercial flight. We didn’t even fly business class those days. These supporters were funded by the NF to follow England. We would see the National Front flag draped over their seats in the Maracanã. We had all the football journalists on the plane and no one said a word. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/11/john-barnes-interview-on-racism-and-society-there-are-invisible-banana-skins

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

And Ian Wright? Anyone with any passing interest in football knows what important work he's done talking about racism in the game. This is not historical stuff. They're both in their early 60s. They played throughout the 80s and 90s.

Unfortunate that she’s picked players who, at least in John Barnes’ case, were subject to horrific racism from supporters both at club and national level. Maybe their nationality wasn’t questioned but their race was a target of abuse www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The idea that Barnes didn't routinely have his right to play for England questioned because of the colour of his skin is so bizarre that I don't know how anyone involved in writing this speech could be unaware of it.

Barnes, like every black player of his generation, suffered horrendous racist abuse. I'm glad Badenoch is going after Reform on this, but it's remarkable how little she knows or cares about the people she uses to try and win points.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.
