5 d. ago Asad Rehman’s journey from antiracism campaigner in Burnley to head of Friends of the Earth

Climate crisis is ‘interconnected crisis of inequality’, says Rehman, who began organising at his school in the 1970s Each weekday morning, every child in the south Asian community in Burnley would gather before making the journey to school. It was the 1970s, the National Front were mobilising, and they were the children of south Asian workers invited to Britain a decade earlier to fill labour shortages.Among them was Asad Rehman, who had moved to the Lancashire town with his family from Pakistan at the age of four. “We would all walk together, because it was dangerous to walk alone,” he remembers. “Younger children in the middle, older children around the edge, because we’d be attacked on the way.” Continue reading...

2 w. ago The Guide #209: Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel and the battle for the future of late

In this week’s newsletter: Once the preserve of backslapping celebrity interviews and inoffensive segments, late-night TV is now in Trump’s sights – giving its hosts unprecedented political weightIf nothing else, the Trump administration’s assault on late-night talkshows is creating some proper old-school water cooler TV. The first thing I did this morning was fire up YouTube and watch Jon Stewart’s monologue on last night’s Daily Show.
