When it comes to Serena, Saskia Murphy has had enough of the backhanders
Serena Williams has been battling against racism for years. In 2001, at the age of 19, she met it on the courtside in Indian Wells at the BNP Paribas Open final against Kim Clijsters. Serena, on the cusp of adulthood, was persistently booed and heckled by a 15,000 strong crowd after her sister pulled out of an all-Williams semi-final at the last minute due to an injury, while her father reported racist abuse directed at him and Venus from the sidelines.

Why don’t we just... ask our MPs to support legalising drugs? - Big Issue North
A few weeks ago Prince William, going where most angels fear to tread, asked a group of drug users what they thought about legalising drugs. Why don’t we ask our MPs the same thing, given they are responsible for the drug laws? Ask for a meeting and enquire what your MP thinks of shifting the control of the production and supply of drugs from gangsters to doctors and pharmacists. The chances are that they won’t have thought about it a great deal.
