When Your Life Is Worth Less: The British Attack on Human Rights

Media Diversified

As opposition to the Nationality and Borders Bill grows, there is also the spectre of an attack on the Human Rights Act by the Conservative government. As Maria W. Norris explains, this is likely to have a disproportionate effect on people of colour and raises fundamental questions about equality in the UK.


This week the Justice Secretary, Dominic Raab, launched a consultation on a new British bill
of rights, a pet project of the Tory right for decades. Condemned as a “blatant, unashamed
power grab” by leading human rights organisations such as Liberty, it is important to
understand the roots of the Tory antipathy to human rights. A mere glance at this

Boric or Kast? Chile Votes on Sunday – Havana Times (Me: Vota Boric!)

Unul dintre ritualurile mele pariziene este jumătatea de oră de alergare dimineața la răsăritul soarelui, în grădina publică a Senatului francez, parc sulptural, botanic, floral, muzeal, livadă de pomi fructiferi, spațiu de activități sportive, sală de lectură, zi și noapte păzit de jandarmii din garda republicană.

Intru dinspre cafeneaua le Rostand, iar faunul dănțuitor din 1850 îmi dă binețe exuberant.

Încep cu exerciții de încălzire în fața unor tufișuri bogate, apoi o zbughesc să dau ocol parcului în direcția intrării în Senat.

Imediat ce trec de fântâna Mariei de Medicis, ies de pe aleea exterioară, prea aproape de mașini, și o iau pe poteca dintre boscheți.

În fața Senatului, mă delectez cu florile din grădinița lor. Și, ca să profit de toate aranjamentele horticole, mă îndrept spre heleșteul cu fântâna arteziană.
