While some costumes are obviously socially unacceptable, in extremely bad taste or both, France has actual legislation on this matter and some fancy dress can be punishable by hefty fines and even prison sentences. If you are planning a costume party or trying to come up with your déguisement (fancy dress) then you should know that certain outfits, insignia and accessories are illegal in France.

On Friday, Pochin, who is Reform UK's MP for Runcorn and Helsby, complained that every advert seemed to feature black and Asian people, as she responded to a viewer on TalkTV who had complained about the demographics of advertising. Pochin said the viewer was absolutely right, adding it doesn't reflect our society and I feel that your average white person, average white family is not represented any more, blaming the woke liberati in the arty-farty world.

Party chief Peadar Tóibín 'shocked and disgusted' after bigoted posts from private chat exposed Aontú has sacked the leader of its youth wing and dismissed five other members after it learnt of the existence of ­secret WhatsApp groups where some Ógra Aontú members posted racist and antisemitic comments. The Sunday Independent has seen a collection of the inflammatory posts that led Aontú to dismiss six members of its youth wing from the party, while three others remain suspended pending further investigation.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

That's a lesson attorney Shannon Kobylarczyk is learning the hard way. Kobylarczyk *was* the associate general counsel at ManpowerGroup, a staffing agency. But that changed after she attended Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. Kobylarczyk, a Brewers fan bedecked in all the gear, was upset when the Dodgers took a 3-1 lead and took that anger out on a Dodgers fan in the stadium.

MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his 'holiday' should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs.

It's bad enough that our sitting president sits up in either the Oval Office or in some golf cart somewhere, posting racist and/or Democrat-hating AI-generated videos during a time that would be better spent - oh, I don't know - running a country that is currently operating without a funded federal government. But, since Trump has been back in office, the social media feeds the White House and other federal agencies have also become little more than government-run 4chan threads for MAGA rubes who communicate their political ideologies through memes because they don't read books.

Sadly, there are signs that racism is increasing across the world. Research from Europe and Australia in recent years has found a rise in the number of people experiencing racism. Reports from the U.S. and U.K. have indicated that most ethnic minority participants felt racism was getting worse. And a global study has found rising incidents of discrimination. Animosity toward those who appear different to us seems easy to arouse, especially in times of hardship and upheaval.

I was astonished. Of course the paper was mine. I had an undergraduate degree in English and had spent years writing term papers. I knew how to construct theses, build arguments, footnote and cite sources. And - quite unlike my fellow students - I liked the course and had participated enthusiastically in class discussions, something the professor seemed to genuinely appreciate.

As players, we have chosen to not take the knee before kick-off this afternoon. Instead, we will stand up against racism,

Hayley Williams is happy to confirm that Morgan Wallen is the "racist country singer" she is referring to in her song " Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party." During a recent interview on the New York Times' " Popcast" to discuss her latest solo album, the Paramore lead singer was asked whether she would like to "name names" to reveal who she means when she sings about being "the biggest star / At this racist country singer's bar" in the title track. "It could be a couple but I'm always talking about Morgan Wallen," Williams said. "I don't give a s-. Find me at Whole Foods, b-, I don't care."

"I feel ready," he told his video diary.

We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans bullsh*t. Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English.

If we would have said three weeks ago, Blake, if we had said that that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called rrrrrrrr-racist.' But now they're comin' out and they're saying it for us! They're comin' out and they're saying, I'm only here because of affirmative action.

Partnered for the first time, Reyes and Kim are under the direction of the great Francesca Zambello who, by her own count, is directing West Side Story for the 12th time, including productions at the Bregenz Festival on Lake Constance and an outdoor show overlooking the harbor in Sydney, Australia. In the U.S., she helmed productions at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera and the Glimmerglass Fest

It was a shock to someone who grew up with a sense of solidarity between Black Caribbean and Irish immigrants I've always had an affinity for Irish culture. Yes, in that irritatingly reductive, romanticised way that everyone who isn't Irish seems to. But also in a way that, for a number of reasons, has long felt deeply meaningful. Rooted in strong familial bonds. In overlapping histories. In trust.
