Baroness Floella Benjamin did not mince her words in calling for justice. Addressing the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Access to Justice earlier this week, she laid bare what many already knew: the Windrush Compensation Scheme is not just broken—it’s “designed to fail.” And behind its failure lies a more corrosive truth: institutional racism is still deeply embedded in the very machinery that once criminalised and deported British citizens for the colour of their skin.

When Tyler Perry and Taraji P. Henson join forces, the result is never less than magic—and Straw, their latest offering now streaming on Netflix, is no exception.

In one of the most distressing scandals in modern British history, thousands of girls — some as young as 11 — were groomed, raped and trafficked by organised gangs in towns such as Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and Oxford.

Despite persistent warnings from whistle-blowers, survivors and front-line professionals, police forces, local councils and child protection services neglected to intervene — often citing concerns about reputational harm, community tensions or bureaucratic inertia.
The 2014 Jay Report revealed that......

LONDON, UK — Tensions are rising between the United States and several Eastern Caribbean nations after a leaked memo from the U.S. State Department, reported by The Washington Post, revealed potential visa sanctions targeting Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia.
At the heart of Washington’s concern is the controversial citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes offered by these island nations—initiatives that allow foreign nationals to purchase citizenship, often with little to no residency requirements. The leaked document, signed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, accuses the......
