The Private Eye offers even more information on racism laundering at the Daily Mail. Turns out the Nana Akua piece on the Notting Hill Carnival was shopped around to Black right wingers. The Eye also unmasks two more of the (old white male) ghostwriters

Over half my life ago I went to a University.
Today I sat on the board of that University for my first meeting.

The school teacher who tried to tell me this life was not for me was so wrong.

Most ridiculous thing I've heard.
U can't ban a genre of music.
Ban the government from enabling circumstances that shape young lives making their Futures seem hopeless. xitter.cf/Independent/status/100…
