This is why Professor Jason Arday was deliberately targeted, this is real story. We can be assured the media will not delve into this, as it will open a can of worms, the establishment would rather remain closed.

Anthony Walker was murdered on July 30, 2005 in a brutal act of racist violence. He was only eighteen years old and was in his second year of A-levels. In 2006, The Anthony Walker Foundation was established by family and friends, to tackle racism and discrimination, and ensure a powerful legacy.

There’s an opportunity in Clacton. Uniting behind one candidate, to stop the possibility of Nigel Farage becoming prime minister must be the priority. Send the corrupt fascist Farage back to political obscurity. Him and his ilk have no place in a civilised democracy. #Farage #Clacton

I think it's time for us to accept the bitter truth. We are going to pay, and continue paying for a long time to come, for the president’s war of choice against Iran. Such are the consequences of politics. Maybe Americans will take their democracy seriously next time.
