| 8/6/24 | 140: The far right in 2024 | This week's episode discusses the current racial climate in the UK with the far-right taking to the streets in the name of 'protecting Britain', whilst burning hotels and libraries, vandalising public and private property and causing chaos and inflicting violence. We talk about this within the context of Jamaican Independence (shoutout to all those who celebrate) and what it means for the descendants of formerly colonised people to see violence similarly meted out to their ancestors on British streets today. We also talk about the situation at Goldsmith's University, where they continue to attack courses that highlight and educate on the histories of marginalised people and the lecturers and module convenors that teach them.

| 4/29/24 | 135: The Black People's Day of Action (1981) | The Black People's Day of Action (1981) was a direct response to the New Cross Massacre that led to the deaths of 14 young Black people in New Cross, South London, 1981. This week I am thinking about the mobilisations and uprising of people we are currently witnessing across University campuses and in wider society... the response to a people that do not feel heard or seen. I will be contextualising these thoughts in the wider history of protest in Britain, thinking about the Black People's Day of Action as a response to the state's silence on the trauma of the fire. | 37m 04s | ||||||

It was overturned due to findings that the original conviction was compromised due to juror misconduct, during the 2014 trial. Vybz Kartel at this point has been in prison since 2011 was convicted of the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams in one of Jamaica’s longest trials.Find out more about the Privy Council rulings and why Jamaica's highest arm of justice is the UK's Privy Council and not the Caribbean Court of Justice.Find us here | 28m 46s | ||||||

Benjamin Zephaniah was born on 15th April 1958 in Handsworth, Birmingham. This episode looks at his life, his activism and all he stood for.
