Mr Manknell found that many working at the prison, including senior management staff, were unaware that Belmarsh had a policy which meant racist prisoners should be marked as high risk and should only be placed in cells with prisoners of the same ethnicity. Following an inquest into Mr Ghuman's death, it was found that Belmarsh failed when carrying out Hilden's CSRA assessment in 2019 after he moved to the prison from HMP High Down.

The speech was, in that familiar Trumpian way, about permission: who gets to be here, who gets to be counted, who gets to be treated as American. And, to illustrate this, Trump reached for one of his favorite targets: Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, a Somali American citizen whose presence in this country has infuriated Trump for nearly a decade (and for whom I used to work as a political communications operative):

When ChatGPT is asked to define racism, it answers, it is not just an attitude, but a power and exclusion structure across the social, economic, cultural and political. AfrofeminasGPT, on the other hand, defines it as a power structure that builds a hierarchy of human beings based on supposed racial differences, to legitimize domination, exclusion and dehumanization. It operates in language, images, bodies, laws, economics, aesthetics, and memory. And it is maintained through silence, ignorance, denial and the symbolic reproduction of stereotypes.

Person A said she was subjected to xenophobic behaviour from colleagues, including Miss Njoku, while working in a respiratory ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington in 2021. Person A said the senior nurse called her a Polish cow, Polish idiot, swine nose, stupid old cow and an old woman and complained to managers but no investigation took place. Person A said the encounter left them feeling very nervous whenever Miss Njoku was on duty

The administration launched an account in August weeks before the president struck a deal to save the social-media app from a ban he started. The first post from the official account (not to be confused with the personal account Donald Trump mostly abandoned after the 2024 campaign) featured the president declaring, "I am your voice!" So what does the Trump White House's TikTok voice sound like several months in?

Garza alleges he was fired in January after he raised concerns about comments made by Martin Bally, Campbell's vice-president of information technology including referring to one of the company's ingredients as bioengineered meat while going off on a racist tirade. The lawsuit recounts that Garza met with Bally in November 2024 to discuss his salary. However, Garza alleges, the meeting turned into an hour-long rant by Bally during which he disparaged the quality of Campbell's products and customers, made racist comments about Indian employees and admitted to coming to work while high on marijuana edibles.

The UK and Ireland are entering a dark time, according to the singer Joy Crookes, who said the influence of far-right ideology on mainstream politics was comparable to the 1970s when the National Front was at its peak. Crookes, who has just played two sold-out shows at the O2 Academy in Brixton, said the recent wave of nationalism and the far-right march through central London in September made her feel unsafe in the UK.

Last month, Politico released a bombshell report featuring multiple leaked texts from Paul Ingrassia, then President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel. In those texts, Ingrassia told colleagues that he had a Nazi streak and made a number of other racist remarks. While criticizing former presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy in 2024, for example, Ingrassia said, Never trust a chinaman or Indian. A day later, Ingrassia announced he was withdrawing from an upcoming Senate hearing.

John Bryan claimed in a statement on Facebook that his messages were 'intended to be humour', adding that the media made them into something they weren't

Meet Danielle Peck, the (now former) Legal Recruiting Director at Biglaw firm Holland & Knight. She's about to learn that life comes at you fast - especially when you're caught on camera throwing around a racial slur... with a particularly hard -R. Now, we don't know exactly what led up to Peck's confrontation with the driver of the truck, but one thing is abundantly clear: using the n-word is never acceptable, no matter the circumstances.

There's been a surprise leadership change, a Miss Universe director yelling at a contestant on camera, racist remarks from a former winner - and that was just in the past week. All the bad press has brought renewed international attention to a brand that came under fire just last year after former CEO Anne Jakrajutatip appeared to laugh at contestants' photos on Instagram Live and praised one titleholder's blond hair and blue eyes as "the best here."

inappropriate and offensive comments have no place in our Senedd or society more widely

If you want to understand the state of Germany in these last weeks of 2025, grasping the meaning of two entries in the German dictionary are essential: stadtbild and haftbefehl. The first term technically means cityscape. But since chancellor Friedrich Merz gave a speech in the state of Brandenburg on 14 October, it has taken on a new political meaning. We have come far with migration, he said, but of course we still have this problem in our stadtbild.

Many had been introduced to Spurs through Son Heung-min, the beloved South Korean superstar. When Son was appointed captain in 2023 he became the first Asian player to lead a Premier League team, a boost not only for his already significant profile but that of Tottenham. For more than a decade, he brought a flow of Asian fans to Spurs matches.

Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and it makes people feel very scared Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics was tearing our country apart. Speaking to GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage's Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago.

According to the Liberian government, the decision to welcome Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported from the United States in March only to return under a court injunction in June, follows its longstanding tradition of offering refuge to those in need. Liberia was once a semi-autonomous territory funded in part by the Washington, DC-based American Colonisation Society (ACS) comprising powerful white men who viewed free Blacks as a threat to slavery and saw emigration (deportation) as the only solution to dispose of them.

When the cashier said she was exhausted from working extra shifts to make some money for Christmas, the man behind me chipped in that it would be worse once she takes all our money (in case Rachel Reeves was wondering, her budget pitch-rolling is definitely cutting through). Routine enough, if he hadn't gone on to add that she and the rest of the government needed taking out, and that there were plenty of ex-military men around who should know what to do, before continuing in more graphic fashion until the queue fell quiet and feet began shuffling.
