#AGT talent #GONZO believes Asian #comfortwomen who were subject to #sexualenslavement during WWI were NOT #forcefullyrecruited by the #JapaneseImperialArmy (even with local help) and expresses support to the #revisionists who are pressuring an established encyclopedia publisher.
#GONZO appears to base his assertion on dozen of newspaper articles that #Asahi retracted in 2014 about false testimonies of a novelist who claimed to have participated in raids that #forcefullyrecruited Korean women, which was considered only one of many sources by historians.
As indicated in #Asahi’s independent committee report & other media reports, Asahi only retracted the articles that pertain to these false testimonies and did not retract their conviction that #comfortwomen were #forcefullyrecruited one way or the other. asahi.com/shimbun/3rd/20…

Thank you Potrika for this! With 61% child poverty in parts of #Poplar & #Limehouse we cannot take any more cuts. We need #RealChange. I am ready to fight like George, and Minnie, Lansbury if elected to parliament this week. #VoteLabour2019 #GetTheToriesOut #SocialistSunday
The #LabourParty manifesto commits to measures towards genuine equality. I met with Dr. Laura Schwartz, to discuss Minnie Lansbury, the suffragette movement in #Poplar & #Limehouse, and our hopes for the future. #Feminism2020 #VoteLabourDecember12th

Analysis published by the @NEUnion yesterday shows that under Labour #Poplar and #Limehouse’s schools will receive £3 million more in funding next year compared to 2015/16, but under the Tories it would be minus £15 million & under LibDems it would stay the same #VoteEducation
@NEUnion They've relaunched the School Cuts site – search for #Poplar & #Limehouse & you see a rash of minuses, indicating chronic underfunding. It calculates that Our Lady & St Joseph where we were canvassing this morning will be down £1,016 per child in funding in 2020 with the Tories
@NEUnion I've signed the @NEUnion pledge and I'll always fight for every school to get the funding it needs to deliver a high quality education for every child. #SENDCrisis #SchoolCuts #VoteEducation @SendTower @SENDcrisisHack @towerhamletsmum
Today on the UN's International Day of Disabled People I attended a ceremony organised by @APASENTH and talked with them about their work in #Poplar & #Limehouse. The UN has reported that Tories have committed “systematic violations” of the rights of disabled people #IDDP2019
@APASENTH Austerity has made existing inequalities so much worse. Labour's manifesto for disabled people launched today begins to address these issues. Working to the principle ‘nothing about you without you’ it offers #RealChange. #IDDP2019 labour.org.uk/breaking-down-…
@APASENTH Breaking Down Barriers means:
✔A new benefits system designed by disabled people
✔Mandatory disability pay gap reporting for companies with over 250 employees
✔Disability leave, paid and recorded separately from sick leave ... (continues)
