Burkina Faso: Criminalization of consensual same-sex relations between adults an alarming setback undermining progressive provisions of the new Persons and Family Code We are alarmed and deeply concerned by the criminalization of same-sex relations between adults in Burkina Faso.

This is SUCH a disappointment. OK so Traore doesn't want the support of Black LGBTQ in the diaspora. I hope those in his country find sanctuary somewhere that will value their contributions.

Just heard Chris Philp on BBC’s Today programme explaining why the Tories want to leave the ECHR. He claimed ECHR isn’t mentioned in Belfast Agreement - which is simply untrue. The UK govt agreed to incorporate it into NI law & give direct access to the courts (Strand 3). Why no BBC fact-check?

When the twenty four hour news cycle emerged, padding became a necessity in order to fill the time inbetween news bulletins. So the media barons stuffed all that space with the commentariat, and allowed us to forget that opinions and facts are often mutually exclusive.

Lord Glasman says he's "honoured" to have Nigel Farage as a friend. Unsurprising he thinks his friend isn't racist; he's either lacking in objectivity or judgment. His suggestion it is a "disgrace" or one should be "ashamed" to allege racism flies in the face of truth.
