About

What are we about?

TMP (The Multicultural Politic) is an online magazine and forum which was originally for multicultural progressives – left wing British Black, Asian and minority ethnic people.

Now under the editorship of Justin Baidoo, we now aim to provide a vehicle through which people from multicultural communities can come together and explore how we can build a more fair, free, equal and democratic world. We hope the site is of use not only to those who define as “multicultural progressives”, but also to those who are interested in the multicultural left-wing perspective on current affairs.

We aim to serve as an information resource, discussion space and general stimulus for debate in the British political sphere, but also in the international arena.
Who are we?

Justin Baidoo is a grass roots campaigner with particular interest in local community development and international solidarity.  A former teacher though is active in youth work and community organising. In his present day job, he is a software developer. Commenting on the state of the world today, Justin said “I don’t think social justice can be achieved without abandoning neo-liberal economic policies and embracing democratic socialism”.
