- New article! ‘“No race hate here”? Irish national identity and racism in the mid twentieth century’ just published online in Irish Historical Studies. Explores Irish attitudes to race and racism, including an ugly spate of racist attacks in Dublin during 1963-64. Open access: doi.org/10.1017/ihs....
- Reposted by Jack CrangleThe Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.
- Reposted by Jack CrangleThe epilogue from my book. Siva said it best - “what Powell says today, the Tories say tomorrow and Labour legislates on the day after”
