About
TMP is an online magazine and forum for the multicultural progressive – left leaning British Black, Asian and minority ethnic people. We aim to provide a vehicle through which multicultural progressives 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 multicultural progressives, but also to those seeking to canvass their views or who are interested in the multicultural progressive 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, we are an inclusive website and welcome contributions and input from all those who have something to offer which may be of interest to multicultural progressive peoples.
