People are already criticised for turning up at GPs and A&E when they may not need to – a false accusation in many cases, used by politicians to excuse the interminable waits caused by intentional fragmentation, privatisation and underfunding. Now Keir Starmer wants to open the floodgates by allowing people to refer themselves to specialists […]

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, I’ve combed my review archives and curated 10 films that reflect on race relations in America; some that look back at where we’ve been, some that give us a reality check on where we’re at now and maybe even one or two that offer hope for the future. We still may not have quite reached that “promised land” of colorblind equality, but each of us doing whatever we can in our own small way to help keep Dr. King’s legacy alive will surely help light the way-especially in these dark times. Black KkKlansman (2018)– So what do you get if you cross Cyrano de Bergerac with Blazing Saddles? You might get Spike Lee’s Black KkKlansman. That is not to say that Lee’s film is a knee-slapping comedy; far from it. Lee takes the true story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), an African-American undercover cop who managed to infiltrate the KKK in Colorado in the early 70s and runs with it, in his inimitable fashion. I think this is Lee’s most affecting and hard-hitting film since Do the Right Thing (1989).

“Kevin’s a piece of shit,” Kinzinger exclaimed. “And let’s just be honest about this, because he will say whatever he needs to say to stay in power. I’m not even saying that gratuitously to be mean to him. It’s just a fact.” Kinzinger also took issue with McCarthy recently stripping several Democrats of committee assignments, which Republicans have justified as payback over Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) getting booted from committees during the last Congress. The ex-congressman pointed out that unlike McCarthy’s unilateral decision, the House votes to kick Green and Gosar off their assignments over violently extreme rhetoric were bipartisan—and McCarthy himself previously removed ex-Rep. Steve King (R-IA) from committees for expressing sympathy for white nationalism. In the end, Kinzinger said that McCarthy would continue to stand by Santos because the GOP’s House majority is so razor-thin that he needs every loyal member he can get. “Kevin needs his vote,” he proclaimed.
