On a more serious note, amazing to see my History A-level teacher, Paul Holborow on Novara Media. He is a brilliant, ten-toes down, dedicated anti-racist. He co-founded the Anti-Nazi League. Good to see that Paul remains as sharp, commited and healthy today as he was in '01

Roxy Legane Makes me think of how Claudia Jones founded Notting Hill carnival after 1950s race riots and split the proceeds to pay off the fines of both black and white youth who were nicked.

The Carlton Club is one of the few spaces in Manchester that is not completely soulless with lots of outdoor space, kid friendly and not obsessively trying to make money out of you. And now they're getting threatened with eviction - please sign! change.org/p/carlton-club…
