This is quite the broadside! He doesnât seem to even like poetry and fails to mention any of the contemporary poets doing brilliant work. Also 4/5 books by men and he slams the one by a woman.

This image is from Birzeit University in the West Bank which was raided by Israel today using live ammunition and tear gas. Over 40 people were injured, mostly students. More than 8,000 students are trapped inside. But itâs controversial to talk about scholasticide.

I do wonder, if the British state lets hunger strikers die again, in order to preserve its right to supply weapons and military support to an ongoing genocide, who will even notice? To paraphrase Kwame Ture, Britain has no conscience.
