Immigration: A toxic issue until Britain faces up to its colonial past- David Wearing
Immigration will remain a toxic issue until Britain faces up to its colonial past- David Wearing
Emmanuel Macron has condemned France’s behaviour in Algeria. Until Britain is similarly honest about its history, we will still think in terms of “us” and “them”.
Both Ukip and Theresa May trumpeted their anti-immigrant credentials yesterday, with fresh and not-so-fresh policies for the election. Hostility to foreigners is now an established theme in the UK’s political discourse, partly because it has deep cultural roots. But there may be something we can learn from Emmanuel Macron about how this problem can be addressed. Continue reading
Trump’s Violations of Federalism Would Make Obama Jealous – George F Will
Opinions: Trump’s Violations of Federalism Would Make Obama Jealous
George F Will | The Washington Post
- “But what good came of it at last?”
- Quoth little Peterkin.
- “Why that I cannot tell,” said he,
- “But ’twas a famous victory.”
— Robert Southey | “The Battle of Blenheim” (1798)
Southey, a pacifist, wrote his antiwar poem long after the 1704 battle for which the Duke of Marlborough was awarded Blenheim Palace, where his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Winston Churchill would be born. We, however, do not need to wait 94 years to doubt whether the Trump administration’s action against “sanctuary cities” is much ado about not much.Four months have sufficed to reveal ’twas a constitutionally dubious gesture.

Poem: It Always Rains in that Green House – By Jaydeep Sarangi, Kolkata. India.
It Always Rains in that Green House
Dedicated to Derek Walcott. Jaydeep Sarangi is now planning a book on Derek Walcott.
- By Jaydeep Sarangi, Kolkata. India.
It always rains at St Lucia, Achilles finds roots in the chaotic hybrid world.
Silence chants from the annals of history. So many bards flock together
From shores of time. The elder of twin boys.
La Plata to Di Hong
The Ganges to river Yuna
All bear a name: re-writing a name.
Fruits are juicy, flowers with perfume,
Core of fire burns each heart, nature’s plan.
Each one has a story to share in silence.
So we stop. We listen to mountains sing,
Rocks, caves and falls prepare minds
For a moment of calm awakening of inside.
Ancient sages bless for a supreme quiet stream of light
Flashing from each joint of bones. It’s home. Home
For green knights. Soul of the native,
Season of mist makes all hearts juicy, language
Kissing words of luck hours by hours.
Love letters are taken from the bookshelf.
The sparrows and seagulls compete with doves,
Crows have part with images, history of the land,
No man can ever be more sensitive than
By the fire of the Muse, star apple kingdom.
Sense of the power and romance of flora and fauna
In poems living, like the song of the bird, trees old and new,
Flood each heart where poetry is a visitor, a valued priest.
Migratory birds search for home. Ruins of a green house.
We need one soon.
All poets count the humming of a bee, blood in their poems
Fair creature of an hour, all lines spark. It rains, rains always.
After this poem, rain will start. St. Lucia is our home.Another life.
Love after love!
