Plus he rightly calls for regulatory change, not just individual consumer action

Tackling racism is not an optional extra: a call for a national NHS response

I’ve just finished reading Sarah Hall’s new novel Helm. It is a truly astonishing thing, this book, so vivid that you keep wondering how she could have been witness to all those events, from the Neolithic onwards. Then you remember she made them up. But how? 🧵1/5

Seven years ago today we lost Pat Long: a beautiful human and a wonderful writer. He never got to enjoy the fruits of his labour, his book on The History of the NME, something that still saddens me. Sharing his wonderful intro here for anyone who might like to read it:
