Imran Khan, non-cricketer, suspected hipster and the human rights lawyer who represented Stephen Lawrence‘s family sez:
On racism in Ireland:
“I found it difficult to believe that a seemingly modern, reformed country such as Ireland was still apparently living in the Dark Ages when it comes to issues of race.”
On Travellers:
The State has “effectively institutionally criminalised” this section of society by introducing the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994, which strengthened anti-trespass laws.
On non-Irish nationals:
The power of gardaí or immigration officials to stop and demand the production of an identity document from a non-Irish national at any time would be viewed as “institutional racism”.

The brainchild of Italian architect Stefano Boeri, the €65 million ‘Bosco Verticale’ is already under construction in Milan.
When complete, the skyscrapers will contain luxury apartments, each one equipped with a copious balcony specially designed to hold around 900 small trees and other plants. If planted on the ground the total vegetation would cover an area of 10,000 square metres.
