Celebrate, good times, come on!

A party is being held tomorrow to celebrate the right to remain in the UK secured by three Manchester-based journalists -Mansoor Hassan, Aamir Ashraf, and Mohamad Star Saeed.
All three have been supported by the National Union of Journalists, the wider trade union movement, and community campaigns.
Mansoor fled Pakistan after death threats and physical intimidation over stories he had written.
Aamir, a journalism student in Pakistan, was threatened by both his and his wife's families after they married without permission.
Mohamad is a TV reporter from northern Iraq who has had his life threatened at home.
The party for supporters and families is at 1pm on Saturday August 9 at the Unitarian Chapel on Cross Street, Manchester city centre. Food and drink will be available.

That's great news. Please pass on my congratulations to them, and to all those who've helped them remain.
