In March, my partner Alex and I went to see the March for the Alternative parade and rally in central London, which was organised by Britain’s Trades Union Congress (TUC). Up to half a million people gathered for the event, to protest against the UK Coalition Government’s plans for fast and deep cuts in public…

HATE is so second-rate…!
by Kevin Maxwell •
Earlier this evening, I was minding my own business and having a Starbucks, when an email message ‘popped-up’ on my mobile telephone. The first word I saw was ‘nigger’, and at first I thought I had misread it. I hadn’t. The message was accompanied with the attached ‘British Hate Flag’, so it was NO mistake.…

Oh dear… Labour!
by Kevin Maxwell •
I have just read that Labour has accused the Prime Minister David Cameron of sexism, after he told a female shadow cabinet minister to “calm down, dear” in noisy exchanges at Prime Minister’s Questions. Putting the comment to one side, which naturally is a matter for the female cabinet minister to address and for the…

KM Manifesto for 2015…
by Kevin Maxwell •
My Manifesto is simple & fits nicely on a piece of toilet paper… 1. Integrate NOT Segregate (black & white, gay & straight, religious & atheist) 2. Include NOT Exclude (young & old, rich & poor, employed & unemployed) 3. Stamp-out: racism, homophobia, ageism, sexism, Scouseism, bullying & discrimination towards the disabled & those with…

Barclays Cycle Dire…
by Kevin Maxwell •
I read yesterday about ‘cycle’ rack rage in the capital, in reference to the ‘Barclays‘ sponsored Bicycle Hire scheme. Part of me found the story funny, imagining the scene of people squabbling over cycle racks, but there’s also a serious point to it… A couple of Monday’s ago, with the sun shining and the birds…

96… Reasons for Justice
by Kevin Maxwell •
Today, like all of Liverpool (red and blue) and other parts of the country, I have taken the time to remember those 96 football supporters who perished at Hillsborough in 1989. I’m not just remembering the 96 and the countless others who were injured because I am a Scouser, but because 96 people who went…
