THAT an Irish nationalist MP hosted this year’s The Liberation Movement (TLM) UN Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination meeting in the House of Commons was politically significant. It symbolised the similar racial discrimination faced by Irish and black migrants who came to Britain as workers in the 20th century.
