- What Georgina Henry taught me about journalism and editing February 10, 2014I would be nowhere without Georgina Henry. Nearly ten years ago I rang the Guardian’s deputy editor (as she was then) out of the blue, with an idea about running a list of the ’20 most powerful Asians in media’ to increase visibility of non-whites in the British media. I didn’t know who else to […]Sunny Hundal
- The right to insult all religions is important, and should be cherished January 26, 2014The first time I was invited on to a debate on TV, I was so nervous I couldn’t stop myself shaking. It was partly nerves and partly the topic. It was Christmas 2005, and a theatre in Birmingham had to abandon a play because a large mob of angry Sikhs had gathered in protest outside, […]Sunny Hundal
- Is sex-selection among British Asian families a big issue? We should be wary of the Independent’s campaign January 16, 2014Yesterday the Independent splashed on the news that between 1,500 and 4,700 girls in the UK had been ‘lost’ due to sex-selection, primarily among Asian families. Sex-selection is usually defined as parents determining the gender of a foetus before its born, and aborting it if its female because they don’t value girls. Like most people […]Sunny Hundal

- How the British press objects to immigration by recycling the same stereotypes November 28, 2013Labour MP Tom Harris has an article today in the Telegraph titled ‘Object to mass immigration from the EU? Join the Romaphobe club!‘. You know what the article is going to say before you even read the first line. It will appeal to and be detested by the usual suspects. Although, in this case, Harris […]Sunny Hundal

- A Tribute to Bob CrowSometimes you find out something which just leaves you reeling in shock. And so it was about ten minutes ago, when I learned that Bob Crow had died. He was only 52 years of age. There’s no use pretending that Bob Crow and I agreed on anything. We didn’t. But he had my total respect. Over the last three years I suppose I have interviewed him a dozen times, an […]
- An Evening of Taboos and Dogging With 'Fascinating Aida'How is it that ‘Fascinating Aida’ rarely get on television, when vastly inferior acts do? Having just seen them perform in Norwich it’s a question which continues to baffle me. I emerged from the Theatre Royal with my cheekbones aching, as did the rest of the audience. How come these three women don’t get on the BBC? How much funnier do they have to be? I me […]
- A Tribute to Marion Thorpe 1926-2014If I were to compile a list of the 20 most impressive women I have ever met, Marion Thorpe would be right up there.

I went to their magnificent home in Orme Square, off the Bayswater Road, where I found Jeremy in his office, in a natty three piece suit replete with yellow wai […]
