HOME is an arts complex in Manchester that hosts literary events, films, celebrity interviews etc. It was due to present a Palestinian literary event in April with Maxine Peake reading from award-winning work and an appearance by a Palestinian author. After receiving a letter from a Manchester Jewish group, the servile and cowardly management has cancelled the event, much to the disappointment of Comma Press, a northern publisher which organised it.
Doesn't take much does it? No principles or integrity or backbone to resist such pressure, just an instant cave-in to the bully boys. That's the last time I attend anything at HOME. Disgraceful.
