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.
Re: HOME Manchester cancels Palestinian event after pressure by Jewish group
Why not just come out fighting? Send a copy of the offending email to all independent media groups and a certain newly elected MP in the North of England.
The LabCons will ensure their arts funding is cut to the core anyway.
