Ep.250 - Modern Slavery & Reclaiming Stories
In a week where:
- Labour win two more by-elections in formerly Tory constituencies.
- World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86.
- Over 100k people March through London for Palestine.
- Egypt/Gaza border crossing reopens.
- Thousands of people gather Trafalgar Square to demand the release of Hamas hostages.
In the 1st of two Politics segments: The Home Office can never seem to do positive things. On top of everything Braverman spews and bad practices, it turns out they have been hiding evidence of modern slavery!
In the 2nd Politics segment: I can understand AI being used to make lives easier, but to decide who gets benefits?!
Lastly, a Long Read! For this one we head to ProPublica for "A Racist Harvard Scientist Commissioned Photos of Enslaved People. One Possible Descendant Wants to Reclaim Their Story" By Jennifer Berry Hawes. The story covers Tamara Lanier who has spent over a decade trying to reclaim daguerreotypes of her enslaved ancestors.
