my latest for @tribunemagazine touches on the radicalism of the late benjamin zephaniah. in particular, as israel continues its genocide in palestine, it remains important to highlight the departed revolutionary's solidarity with palestinians and opposition to occupation:.
For millions, Benjamin Zephaniah will be remembered for first introducing poetry to their lives — but his unwavering commitment to anti-imperialist, anti-racist and working-class politics cannot be forgotten either.

"released her on the condition she did not return to protest" is a sentence that should not be uttered in a country that considers itself 'democratic'.
Police arrest a Muslim woman after shouting "Free Palestine" outside our occupation. They threw her into a police van, drove her down the road, interrogated her, then released her on the condition she did not return to protest. #EvictElbit #ShutElbitDown

you don't get to say this part without mentioning how 40% of british state expenditure compensated human traffickers for their lost "property" (finally paid off in 2015) and the apprenticeship system meant that de facto slavery continued long after its abolition.
The woke kids using the Queen's death to dunk on the British Empire probably don't know that Britain banned slavery in all regions of its empire long before the US Civil War, via laws passed in 1807 & 1833. It was empire that enabled this sweeping reform.
