EU deal with Greece betrayal of OXI

The die has been cast. The Geek prime minister Tsipras, who won the elections
because of his promise to make an end to Trojka austerity measures, has capitulated,
accepting the hardest EU deal with Greece ever. Shame on him and his party
Syriza, which has lost every credibility. It's a horrible betrayal of OXI, plunging
the Greek people in still worse misery. People of Greece, fight for Freedom! Read more >>

Tower Hamlets voided votes - who is 'winning'? So far, corruption heads the news

Thursday's scheduled re-election of the 2014 Tower Hamlets Exec Mayor Poll is already hitting the
news in predictable manner. Already 16 allegations are under reported investigation by the Police.
But will any of these alleged offences lead to any root and branch change? Will Tower Hamlets
ever become a decently run democratic Borough? Signs today are that we may have to wait for years before that happens Read more >>

#KillBaharMustafa

I didn't invent the hashtag, although I did think of it on the bus (and I don't have a smartphone). As it goes, I'm most certainly not in favour of killing Bahar, and I don't even think that she should be sacked.

This is not the first time that she has been the subject of media attention at Goldsmiths, the university where my eyes were forced wide open on a Social Anthropology course a couple of decades ago.

I can't say that I am entirely comfortable with her style of politics, whether it is the burning of Socialist Worker, or telling white people that they are not welcome at a union screening of Dear White People, a movie which I ended up watching alone in my front room, but might have got more from if I had watched it with others and there had been a discussion about it afterwards.
