There have been penalties for those who looked the other way when Epstein was convicted of child sex offences and decided to maintain relationships with the financier — but not for the British ambassador to Washington, reveals SOLOMON HUGHES
The Liberation essay: writing for a better world
The Morning Star talks with LIZ PAYNE of Liberation’s education committee about the essay competition launched to encourage children and young people to set out what they think a better world might look like and how to achieve it

Before we talk about the competition Liberation is launching for the first time this year, can you say something about its campaigning work for a transformation of the education curriculum?
Liberation has campaigned for nearly 70 years to end colonialism and all forms of post-colonial domination — the racism and oppression on which they depend and the misery they heap on millions of people.
Central to our work is the fight for an education curriculum in Britain that teaches the truth about our criminal colonial past and that of other colonial powers. The legacy of empires and contemporary neo-colonial domination continues to limit and impoverish present generations across the world.
