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.
In discussion with Margaret Hodge MP
So on Wednesday night, your friendly neighbourhood community activist and blogger attended the excellent play “A Day at the Racists” and was in a post-show discussion with Margaret Hodge, Minister of State for Culture and also Member of Parliament for the Barking constituency.

It was well-researched, very funny in the first half and then becomes a visceral emotionally and political rollercoaster in the second half, also it upset Margaret. For a more fuller review look here. Below is a short Al-Jazeera (English) news item on the play: Read more
