In the early hours of the morning of 7th May, as the results were coming in for the British General Election 2010. I appeared on Al Jazeera English News Channel to speak on two topics:

1. Proportional Representation and what it means for far-right parties like the British National Party
2. The Barking “Hodge vs Griffin” results from an anti-fascist perspective, I was billed as “Hope Not Hate” though I asked to be named a representative of “South London Anti-Fascist Group”

My debut on Al Jazeera is below, filmed and uploaded on to YouTube by a good colleague of mine and now on The Multicultural Politic for you to enjoy/lament/laugh at:

This came about because of a debate I had with Margaret Hodge a post-discussion of a brilliant play called A Day at the Racists by Anders Lustgarten.

Note to self: don’t lick lips on television – it is deeply embarrassing.
