When sorry seems to be the hardest word
Whilst Biden is proud to be Irish and Harris is rightly proud of her Indian background I certainly withdraw my reference to her as an Indian as it seems to have upset some people. I did not know her name and identified her with the term Indian. Most people understood.Racist NO.

I grew up in a single-parent family where everything was scarce. Books were a luxury. Without our local libraries in London, I'd never have got into Cambridge to study English. Cut back on these services and you doom other kids to poverty, financial and intellectual, forever.
Things I have learned about the general public whilst working at the library:
1. A huge number of people under 20 can't read face clocks, having grown up with only digital one.
2. Many people don't know how to spell "library." It's in our email address. This causes problems

Race in Britain: It’s like the govt just commissioned a report that denies climate change. Do we in the media go back to having deniers in every story?
The new report on racism by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities presents an existential threat to how journalists approach issues of race, racism and diversity. We must take a stand. New blog post.

Darren Tierney says the exact status of Lex Greensill is unclear and is being looked into. He was an unpaid adviser, and they have appointment and reappointment letters. He suggest these would have been signed off by Ian watmore and Francis Maude.
