In the Telegram clip uploaded to YouTube, Miss Brittania says: "I am a bit tearful as my integrity has been questioned, and my loyalty, and those are two things that are very important to me."Bitter Leaves gives a true insight into the melting pot that the Lion City has always been. Shammi is from Indonesia, Jocelyn is Chinese, and Lucilla is Filipina, and those are just the maids who figure in the story. The horror of "Maid Culture" is unflinchingly portrayed, Madame Eunice one of the employer narrators is a truly frightening creature/creation. However, some of the skill shown in this book is not least visible in the arousal of understanding - if not sympathy for even this character. In December 2020, it was reported that Patriotic Alternative's London regional organiser was Nicholas Hill, a 50-year-old former Liberal Democrat councillor from Catford in South London, known by the online pseudonym "Cornelius". [13] That month, during an appearance by the Labour Party leader Keir Starmer on LBC, a caller referring to herself as "Gemma from Cambridge" put forward the white supremacist Great Replacement conspiracy theory. Starmer was criticised by some for his perceived failure to challenge the caller, who was revealed by investigative group Red Flare to be Jody Swingler, a yoga teacher and Patriotic Alternative activist. [14] She went to extreme lengths to deny being Jewish and prove her whiteness. At one point, she offered what she called an ‘ancestry document’, which she said showed her to be ‘100% European’. She seemed like a naive, but well-meaning woman. I did wonder what was in it for her,” Rianna told The Voice. Madame Eunice is often despicable in her attitude towards and treatment of her maids, and indeed her friends. She sees herself as a ‘tiger’ – someone who is at the pinnacle of Singaporean society and entitled to exercise this power. Many aspects of her personality are conditioned by her Chinese heritage and the prevailing attitudes towards those lower down the social hierarchy.

In many respects, it is a look at the struggles of women, regardless of their station in life. Added to the difficulties the maids have to endure in their new surroundings, are the taboos and prejudices of both their own cultures and the regard of others whether Asian or Western. This includes xenophobia and class differences. This is the tale of many unheard voices who like the caged birds that are sold, don’t have anywhere to run even when their cages are opened. It matters not whether they are maid or employer, village or city girl.This surprising strand of racism – the failure to outwardly exhibit the necessary purity of whiteness – is more common than is given credit for. Case in point: What is often described as the ‘largest lynching in US history’ was committed in New Orleans against 11 Italian Americans in 1891.

On another occasion, their publisher told the authors she’d sold her Louboutins to fund a print run. In a crisis the good and the bad come out but the good always comes out stronger, which is lovely if you’re on your own, having strangers looking out for you.” I have always been against racism in all forms, so am terminating my contract with Stirling Publishing with immediate effect,” Ms Burchill also confirmed to the Guardian. It’s safe to say that I’m about finished with white healthcare professionals. After my terrible experience in my masters year, I was fortunate enough to be directed to a PoC-specific health organisation in Scotland: Saheliya . Run by and for people of colour and offering free counselling, it was life-changing for me to be able to talk about my problems with a counsellor who looked like me, who understood the nuances of my experience, who I didn’t need to walk through the basics of institutional racism, or censor myself around. This and other communities of colour I have had the blessing of being part of have been so integral to learning how to take care of myself and how to speak about these issues, so now I want to pay it forward.

PASTA LOVE

Julie Burchill has dropped the new publisher for her book Welcome to the Woke Trials after the publisher was identified as a supporter of the UK white nationalist group Patriotic Alternative . I do not believe, have never believed and never intended to make any allegation that Ms Sarkar is a promoter, supporter and/or sympathiser of Islamists or fundamentalist terrorism or to suggest that Ms Sarkar condones paedophilia in any way.” Burchill asked her social media followers to share her apology. Ms Burchill had announced she had signed a deal with Stirling Publishing, an independent outfit based in Scotland, to publish a new book she had written titled Welcome to the Woke Trials: How #Identity Killed Progressive Politics. I also found the book quite disturbing, not because of the social commentary or of the massive divide between the have and have nots in a burgeoning society that clings to a hierarchy that is no longer really relevant in a world that is becoming increasingly homogenised. It was the emotional manipulation within the book that disturbed me. I am not unaware of the slave trade that flourishes throughout the world under a different name, I am not unaware that terrible atrocities are committed to people caught up in the system who have so few options open to them through extreme poverty that this is the only escape they can garner. Unfortunately the book seemed to be busily telling me about how horrible it all is and how desperately bad I should feel for these people who are being manipulated in this way; so busy tugging on the emotional responses for one group of people that a larger picture was ignored. In their own unique way every person in this book is irretrievably damaged by the world that they inhabit. Whether caused by Cultural bias ingrained in them from childhood, by misuse of them by others or simply by the choices they have made that have caused them to be transplanted to this strange cultural hot house.
