The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Small acts of resistance lead to big changes. Externally, and internally. Defiance can inspire others, as well as being a salve for the rage of living in a time when wickedness appears to be growing, unchecked. When

If we really care about protecting our women & girls we need to reject the racist campaigns that solely target those seeking asylum & instead go after those at the top until every last… [one]… who may have aided & abetted the abuse of women & girls is brought to task.

It is a scandalous and criminal failure of governments around the world that we are in this situation. Meanwhile, those who have profited enormously from the industries that have brought this crisis to pass, pay nothing.
