Our main campaigns at the moment are focusing on:<br \/>\n\u2022 Trade Deals, in particular putting democratic decision-making at the heart of trade policy.<br \/>\n\u2022 Migration, focusing both on harmful government policies and negative media coverage.<br \/>\n\u2022 Pharmaceuticals, challenging the corporate control of medicines. This is an interesting campaign area because whilst our focus is on the Global South, the UK NHS is challenged by the same issue.<br \/>\n\u2022 Food, championing small-scale food producers who are under threat by the increasingly dominant role of very large corporations.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; max-width: 700px;\" title=\"Audioboom player\" src=\"\/\/embeds.audioboom.com\/posts\/7173388-connections-global-inequality-the-british-empire-and-brexit\/embed\/v4?eid=AQAAAPDUY1wMdW0A\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The talk is based on the book &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dannydorling.org\/books\/rulebritannia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rule Britannia<\/a>&#8220;.
