“They want to set an example”: Cuban demonstrators hit with heavy sentences | Cuba
One Sunday last summer, 18-year-old Eloy Cardoso left his mother’s house on the outskirts of Havana to pick up an Atari game console from a friend.

‘Friend. Mentor. Confidant. Example. Father figure. Gentleman. Boyfriend.’
Denzel Washington struggled with the popular sentiment that he was “the next Sidney Poitier”. In a way, the innuendo that black actors could only be compared to other black actors was inherently flawed. Again, that’s a pretty flattering comparison. There was no uncertainty, however, when it came to the actual relationship between Washington and Poitier, […]

But without a strategy, it will fail. As with any other marketing channel, before you take a deep […]

I’ve never been a fan of President Macron or France’s stance against Brexit, but I have to admit that I admire the stance he took against the unvaccinated (The Yorkshire Post, January 6).

JAN MOIR: Novak Djokovic should lead by example during Covid crisis – don’t behave like a baby
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic represents all that is wrong and bad about “Covid exceptionalism”. As in, there are rules, but they don’t apply to him. There are masks, but he doesn’t have to wear them. There are vaccines to protect us from disease, suffering, and each other, but he doesn’t have to. Confusion surrounds the […]
