What are you thoughts on visibility and representation?

It's a brand new series!

Yeah, I Heard About That is getting a facelift...
Shorter episodes on fewer topics.

Today I'm talking about filming in courts.
This week the government announced plans to extend filming rights to broadcast from some Crown Courts.
This has pros and cons, in the context of our time but ultimately I think this announcement is distractive and problematic.

What do you think?

This week, in the last few days before the general election I'm covering the accusations of anti-semitism from Labour and Jeremy Corbyn. Also Gal-Dem's approach to race and religion in politics.

I'm talking about former Tory leader support for BoJo NOT to be PM, the Tory record in children's rights, the NHS, and food banks. More external commentary on the failure of the Tories to be 'the Party of the economy', and Jack Merritt's father's response to the leadership debate.

Finally, some of the best news stories of 2019, illustrated, for your viewing pleasure.

This week I have about a 60% voice. It's resting now.

I'm talking about more misleading information educating this upcoming election; the Tories hiding their true form and Jo Swinson continuing to illustrate hers.

I'm talking about linguistic gender politics and the ramifications of 'guys' as well as other queer news.

I've got some updates on Hong Kong, Chile, and Bolivia. It's tough out there pals.

This week is a stew of updates.

I'm talking about the dangers of philanthropic charity and how an equal opportunities state run not for profit could benefit all of us. I'm also talking about misleading propaganda and trust in this election period.

I'm talking about gender and sexuality, making strides and acknowledging continuing failures in the social response to both.

I'm listing my favourite good news bites of the week.
