Continue reading →: The Right-Wing Victim Complex: Who’s Really Cancelling Whom?
Right-wing politicians and pundits love to decry “cancel culture,” portraying themselves as heroic underdogs battling a world supposedly dominated by the left and liberal elites. Donald Trump has pushed this narrative so forcefully that it culminated in a violent insurrection on January 6. In the UK, Nigel Farage plays a…

Akala is my personal hero, role model and inspiration. I recommend everyone follow him and his work. If I achieve nothing other than getting more people into Akala, then I’m satisfied. I would love to meet him one day as an equal. I tried writing this article a few times…

Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao – the idea of one man who will change a broken society for the better has been gambled with before and it never worked. The left and the right alike fall for such fallacies because humans are emotional, desperate creatures particularly in times of crisis. The…

The Israel/Palestine issue has cut through all else in world politics since October 7. In the UK, for the first time, four MPs were elected solely on that platform. Since Hamas’ attack, around 17,000 children have died in Palestine. It is clear that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.…

Asia houses 4.75 billion human beings; a majority of the planet. To say the term “Asian” is vague is an understatement. Historically, since significant migration of people from South Asia occurred in the mid 20th century in the UK the term “Asian” has been used to ethnically classify these people.…

Continue reading →: Nigel Farage is no patriotI am a patriot. In World War Two, when Nazi Germany declared war on the planet it was Britain, the USA, the Soviet Union and soldiers from the commonwealth; India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Canada etc. that beat them. Farage gains support partially due to the left abandoning patriotism in my opinion.…

Problems which we’d rather stick our fingers in our ears about until something happens. I have discussed this before. Although racism is never justified, I do think there are some concerns about Islamic migration to the West which are not…

Continue reading →: Why Progressives Misdiagnosing Racism Undermines The Left and MinoritiesAs an ethnic minority and someone firmly on the left, I’ve witnessed first-hand how Britain’s racism problem is deeply rooted in its colonial past—a history built on white supremacy and the dehumanisation of Black people, Indians, Muslims, Jews, Irish people, and countless others. Real racism exists and must be confronted.…
