News: The Census and Grime Artist Ghetts the puppet!!

Image
Ghetts's new track, Invisible, is part of a drive to persuade ethnic minorities to fill in the census. The US arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin is to handle the UK's census data. "Some don't know what a census is," the London grime artist Ghetts begins, "some do but they don't see the sense in it." Over a catchy hook and with a flashy video to accompany, his new track, "Invisible", seems to be part of the government's drive to persuade young people and ethnic minorities to fill in this year's national census population survey. But there is a small fact they are failing to mention in December 2008, the government quietly awarded the £150m contract to collect and securely handle the 2011 census data to Lockheed Martin, the second-largest arms manufacturer in the world. It makes bombs, bomber jets and has run most of the US military's intelligence gathering and interrogation, including at Guantánamo Bay, where it operated thr

Rastamouse Branded “No Better Than The New Sambo – Golliwog In Drag”

Levi Roots, Benjamin Zephaniah and psychologist Delroy Constantine-Simms all have their say on CBeebies sensation Rastamouse. It’s hard to keep up with all the Rastamouse controversy, we reported earlier this week that the show had already garnered a combined 101 complaints and now high-profile Rastafarians have been giving their opinion on the show with Reggae Reggae Sauce founder Levi Roots saying he doesn’t support the use of a mouse to represent his culture “I was asked to do the voice of the mouse, but I said no. I am a Rastafarian and I wouldn’t want to portray a Rastafarian as a mouse. For me it is about integrity.” he told The Mirror “I’d never portray a Rasta as a pig or a mouse as I don’t think the values of being a Rasta are served by that. If it was a lion that would be very different, a lion is strong symbol in Rastafarianism.” continuing “Personally, I do not support this representation of us. But we do need representation on TV and as this is the first it should be given

Poem: ReBirth

Image
ReBirth Darkness falls, bringing forth a defusing twilight, Light subsides on the horizon what was once a sky bright, Surrounded by morose faces all I see in my sight, I've travelled far so many places wasted years in hindsight, I've wept for those who've suffered long existing in designed strife, Money was my only mission wishing for the high life, My intuition through persistence to main event & highlight, Reached new ambitions, now I'm fixing to straighten up and fly right, And now I look towards the sky as it begins to shine bright, Perfect calm of nothingness in ear shot or an eye sight, A new beginning where to start just picturing where I might, Oh where shall sweet time take me now that once again I'm childlike. -Fonzo

Poem - Dear, dear!

Dear, dear! It seems like an eternity since you've been gone, Feels like eons since we last spoke, I don't know why I'm still holding on, But somewhere inside I conjure up hope, Is everyone laughing as if I'm a joke? A question I have to ask, Did my persistence bring forth division and hinder a beautiful path, Consumed by my loyalty, Consumed by my heart, It's hard to think that you & me could end from our start, In my world you mean so much, Can't find no-one like you, And no-one else will ever love you quite the way I do. 143

Poem: Sorry

Image
Sorry I'm sorry I treated you with respect, I guess that weren't enough, I'm sorry that I showed restraint, When times got really tough, I'm sorry I have loyalty, I guess that makes me weak, I'm sorry when temptation came that I refused to cheat, I'm sorry that I valued you, I'm sorry that I cared, I'm sorry I was here for you when no-one else was there, I'm sorry for my honesty, Should I have lied instead? I'm sorry I refused to think that chivalry was dead, I'm sorry that I kept it real, When others was so fake, I'm sorry that I hugged you close, And made you feel so safe, I'm sorry for my kindness, Being loving as can be, I'm sorry that it weren't enough, To keep you hear with me.
