Asylum seekers now free to go to Kylie concerts and drink multi-coloured cocktails, yay!

Could asylum seekers BE any more fabulous?!? Not only do they manage to escape their own countries after fleeing terrible persecution, they manage to make a new life for themselves here despite the British government persecuting them just as much – as well as managing to royally piss off the right wing press on an [...]

and over to John for the latest CRIME!

What is news and what’s the point of it? It doesn’t seem to be about education, providing insight into global events or speaking truth to power.  These days it’s not even really news at all…it’s just crime.
