Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Andrew Testa’s photographs tell the stories of individuals, organisations, and communities across the UK who are welcoming people who were forced to flee their homes in other countries.

After a successful tour in autumn 2021, with nearly 500 refugee audience members and several sellout performances, All The Beds I Have Slept In returns with an updated version and new cast from Afghanistan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Morocco.

They found an answer in Breadwinners, a London-based social enterprise that aims to help young asylum seekers and refugees find employment and purpose through training, mentoring, networking and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Abdullah from Afghanistan, and Abdisa from Ethiopia, have managed the Breadwinners stall at the weekly Victoria Park Market selling artisan bread side-by-side with a range of other food traders.

The choir was set up by Becky Dell and Tess Berry-Hart and is a unique mix of people who would not meet under other circumstances, coming together once a week to sing together and share their experiences.

Oasis’s Global Eats food truck brings Latin cuisine to the city’s Splott neighbourhood three times a week and is a stalwart of the Green Man festival.

Hmm! "This article has been removed as it breached an embargo. It will be relaunched on its correct date."

A good news story in the guardian about the UK?

Shut. It. Down.

That's weird. What is an embargo in that context?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the photos are part of a larger collection, maybe a book?

I don't know. Maybe it's a copyright issue or something like that.
