Racial Discrimination on the Rise in the UK: Why Foreign Names Should Not Make You a Target

Britain’s strength has always been in its diversity and resilience. Those of us born here, regardless of our heritage or the sound of our names, are as much a part of this country as anyone else.

The challenge is not just mapping genes, it’s mapping out a future where technology enhances freedom, dignity, and equality, not erodes them.

Britain’s Hidden Hunger: The Crisis of Child Poverty in the UK

The prevalence of child poverty is not an accident; it is a consequence of policies, priorities, and political inertia. When the government subsidises steak dinners in Westminster while a child in the UK skips meals, something is deeply broken. If deprivation becomes acceptable, we risk losing the very soul of our society. It’s time for bold, compassionate leadership that puts children first, not after debates, not after budgets, but now.
