Leveson Enquiry devotes a mere three hours to media representation of women and Muslims
Marai Larasi, Jacqui Hunt, Anna Van Heeswijk and Heather Harvey gave evidence to the Leveson enquiry yesterday
The press remained relatively quiet about the goings on at the Leveson enquiry yesterday, and the journalists I usually follow for updates were not offering their live tweet services. Perhaps it had something to do with the topics of the day – the representation of women and Muslims in the media.
TMP Spotlight on UK Elections 2010
As it is the UK General Election Manifesto launch week, The Multicultural Politic (TMP) also is launching its General Elections coverage. TMP will be scrutinising the party pledges, policies and the personalities, up and down the country whilst also continuing to cover international politics from a multicultural perspective.
We are independent minded and believe our readers are also, so we won’t endorse any political party but will give our honest opinion on the debates and options available to the electorate with an unapologetic multicultural bias.

He is denigrating the African-Caribbean community and suggesting that London would be better off without them.
