Relevant images and the EU

You had a two page article on preparing for motherhood. It seems very inappropriate to me that all images which went with the article were of white women and children.

Is it not possible for a newspaper like Asian Voice to take their own photographs for an article like this which focuses on Asian women and Asian children?

A little while ago I launched a magazine called Health and Happiness which was aimed at Asians. Once again that magazine did not have any pictures of Asians.

I feel we have enough people here. If we are aiming to influence and inform Asians then we shouldn't just pick up any old pictures from magazines aimed at British people. It would be so nice to see ourselves reflected in the pictures.

You also had an article about Priti Patel having decided on Brexit when Cameron is still hoping to stay in the EU.

Common sense should tell us that he certainly can't go for Brexit and still negotiate for changes. If he says that he wants to get out there would be no reason for anyone to consider any possible changes.

Since he has already said that his ministers can decide for themselves I think it is a good thing that Priti has decided for herself. I am sure she will not be on her own.
