Slavery - Reparations debate IMO
Forget all the arguments around slavery numbers and the fact that slavery by the Middle Eastern countries eclipsed anything practiced by “the West” in terms of volume and savagery.
Park all that but do consider this -
In the UK people who have never owned slaves are being asked to pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves but in many cases live in countries still widely practising slavery.

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND, UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT... THIS IS SURELY SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO THINK ABOUT!!!!
THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE PENSION IS THAT THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED OLD AGE PENSION.
WHERE DID ALL THAT MONEY GO?
Remember, not only did you and I contribute to our Pension, our employer did, too.
It totalled 15% of your income before taxes.
If you averaged only £15 000 over your working life, that's close to £220,500.
Read that again.
Did you see anywhere that the Government paid in one single penny? No they didn’t!!!!
We are talking about the money YOU and YOUR employer put in a Government BANK to ensure that you and I would have a
retirement pension from the money YOU put in!
It was not money that the Government had any right to spend elsewhere.
Now THE GOVERNMENT have started to call the money we paid in an ‘entitlement’ when we
reach the age to take it back.
If you calculate the future invested value of £2500 per year
(yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5%
interest (that's less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows from overseas), after 49 years of working you'd have
£892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive £26,787.60 per
year and it would last better than 30 years (that means until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!
If you bought an annuity with the money and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of £1976.40 per month.
THE CROOKS IN GOVERNMENT HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER ROBBERY THAN THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERS EVER DID.
Entitlement!!??
My foot!
IT'S MY MONEY!
I paid IN cash for my pension.
Just because they borrowed the money to spend on other things, that doesn't make my pension some kind of charity or handout!!
Remember MP's benefits? ---
They get free healthcare,
They get outrageous retirement packages,
They get 67 days paid holidays,
They get three weeks paid holidays,
They get unlimited paid sick days.
Now that really should be called welfare entitlements, yet they have the nerve to call my O A P retirement payments entitlements?
We're "broke" and the government can't help our own OAPs, our ex-service personnel, our orphans or our homeless.
Yet in the past few years we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Turkey, India, Pakistan, etc., etc., etc. Literally, BILLIONS of Pounds !!!
But they can't help our own citizens!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed’ old age pension have to beg social services to receive additional aid, while our government and religious organizations pour hundreds of billions of £££ tons of food to foreign countries!
They call the old age pension an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.
Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?
It was supposed to be in a securely locked box, not to be used as part of the Government's general funds.
Sad, isn't it, that some people won't have the guts to forward
this. I'm in the category with guts enough to do it - - - and I just did.
I hope some of you will do the same.

Alastair Campbell was reminded at how loathed he is and why he has such a colossal brass neck to even show his face and accuse others of being "liars."
He wasn’t happy. Nicely done by @ZiaYusufUK

Burnham “promises to appoint an ‘Anti-Muslim Hostility adviser.’
FFS 🤦🏽♂️ here we go again.
1) Globalist uni party STARTS PERMA WARS
2) floods our country at unprecedented speed with migrants who are understandably fleeing from those permawars
3) Bloats our welfare state to host said migrants while undercutting domestic living standards.
Equality means everyone is poor, together.
4) Taxes & spends what’s left of our money (including by raiding bank accounts) to fund their permawars, their bloated welfare state & themselves
5) Appoints WRONGTHINK Czars among STATE-compliant, self-appointed “community leaders” to police us, point fingers at us & blame everyone but THEMSELVES when people start to complain
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham tells muslim leaders that they have "lived through some of worst examples of division" and promises to appoint an "Anti-Muslim Hostility adviser."
• Prime Minister Andy Burnham hosted Muslim community leaders at Downing Street with Communities Secretary Angela Rayner for his first such roundtable since entering office.
• He said Muslim communities had "lived through some of the worst examples of division" and casual hatred, particularly on social media, and that the country could not have another decade of division.
• Burnham described some language used by political rivals about the community as "completely unacceptable" and said the government wanted to counter hatred, discrimination and Islamophobia.
• He pointed to plans to appoint an anti-Muslim hostility adviser and discussions about a national memorial marking the contribution of Muslims to British war efforts in the First and Second World Wars.
• Representatives from groups including the British Muslim Trust and the Muslim Women’s Network attended.
You don’t have to agree with Radical Jellyfish’s views on the Israel/Gaza conflict to appreciate their commentary on the UK’s disgusting clamp down on free speech.

Essentially people need to believe that they and their family/tribe will benefit from an action to perform it. So people will only invest in their businesses etc if they think it will pay off. They don’t mind if others benefit as well but the fundamental drive is selfishness, which is a major evolutionary drive in every progressive mechanism of life.
The evidence is in. Labour's death tax assault on family farms and businesses was a bad mistake, writes entrepreneur Steve Rigby in The Times.
"Family Business UK’s latest survey of more than 500 family firms found that almost a quarter had paused or cancelled investment plans over the past year because of the changes. 23% had cut staff or frozen recruitment, and more than one in ten expected to downsize over the next 12 months", he says.
"A survey of 700 rural family businesses by the Country Land and Business Association found that nearly 90" had paused investment, and almost half said they would have to sell land or business assets to cover the tax bill. Farmers said they had put off or cancelled new machinery, farm buildings, tourism diversification, even the reservoirs we need to cope with drought".
This policy is so obviously an extremely stupid one. Its main effect is to prevent investment. But don't hold your breath if you think Labour might admit its mistake.

There is a lot of anti-Islamic rhetoric surrounding these French riots and I can’t say that I agree with it.
There are many countries where there are sizeable Muslim populations living alongside other groups in peace and harmony.
What we are seeing in France is lawless 3rd world (largely African) men who are acting anti-socially and in complete violation of religious teachings of any kind. Coupled with that we are seeing far-left atheistic groups fermenting the situation and using these African criminals. To make matters worse a complete failure of the authorities to act decisively, a breakdown in law and order, further inflames the riots.
To summarise we have ill-bred young African men, with no moral code, encouraged by the far-left, attacking the ethical and moral framework of what was a descent society.
You do not see this in Singapore, Dubai, China, Qatar, Hong Kong etc because these scum would be shot dead by police and the public would support that.

Imagine if the Britain they dreamed up after the war had actually got built.
Norway sold us 69% of the gas we imported last year, out of the same North Sea we sit on. France sent us 21.9 TWh of electricity down a cable, most of it nuclear. We opened the world's first commercial nuclear power station in 1956 and now rely on another country to run the tech for us.
Spent the morning thinking about what the modern version looks like. Edinburgh to London in about 1 hour 50, which is what you'd get running trains at Chinese speeds over 534km. It's 4 hours 10 at best right now. China built the Beijing to Shanghai line, 1,318km, in 3 years. HS2 is 225km, started digging in 2017 and might open in 2037 lol.
Factories back in the north building chips and robots instead of us importing them. Scotland doing military tech out of Glasgow and Rosyth. Enough nuclear that electricity stops being a topic, a grid that can actually carry it, and our own oil and gas paying for it all whilst we get there.
None of this is sci-fi either. Korea builds the same reactor over and over and it gets cheaper every time. We build one, take 20 years over it and it costs £48bn.

I’m fortunate. I’ve been successful in business, I have money, I don’t have to worry about our financial future. I donate my entire MP salary to local charities, to show that I’m in politics for the right reasons.
I’ll be honest. I don’t have to worry about paying the mortgage each month, or having enough money to buy the children what they want for their birthday, or even being able to put food on the table.
I don’t, but I know millions of Brits do. That’s the brutal reality.
Hardworking British men and women should not have to live like that. If you work hard, put the hours in and live honestly?
You should be rewarded for it, properly.
That means lower tax, MUCH lower tax and higher thresholds, but it also means a state that can keep inflation under control so that the cost of living does not outstrip your wage.
Fuel, food shop, clothes, electricity. Everything. It all gets more expensive whilst so many earn the same.
Inflation. All driven up by the decisions of politicians who will never have to live with the consequences of their actions.
Our economy is completely broken. It works for the international corporates, the bureaucrats, the London managers.
It does NOT work for the plumber, the entrepreneur, the farmer, the construction worker, the hairdresser, the nurse, the sole trader, the HGV driver, the police officer.
We must aim to entirely reshape how the economy works so that vast profits made from British workers are not shifted offshore through complex corporate structures whilst working families are bled dry by our corrupt state.
I want family businesses to thrive, entrepreneurs to succeed, risk-takers to flourish. Those who contribute, protect and enhance our society rewarded. I want the shirkers and piss-takers crushed.
That’s what I want. That’s what Restore Britain wants.
I don’t want the parasitic global corporations or our rotten state profiting off the ingenuity and sweat of the British risk-taker. Rotten monopolies that have no respect for the individual will end.
In short - an economy that provides for our people.
There is ONE way out. A Britain that lives within it means. Just as we all have to, our state must do the same. Spend less than it earns. It’s that simple.
That is how we make Britain affordable again, make Britain ambitious again and make Britain work again.
That’s what a Restore Britain Government will deliver.
Release the innate brilliance and tenacity of the British people.
Our entrepreneurial spirit conquered the world before and we can do it again.

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.
I think we can safely assume Marine Le Penn is getting elected . Can’t come soon enough for the poor people of France.

€70 billion more. Always more. Forever-war machine never stop asking.
YOUR money. Again.
I filmed how it started - 2014 was a US-backed coup in Kiev.
The war will cost 155 billion euros next year. And we need at least 70 billion euros more from you – for defense, for weapons, and for our resilience. This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us hold Russia back.
There are some very simple facts. We stop most Russian assaults on the front line thanks to drones. We cut Russian supply lines with these technologies. And our drones are helping to weaken Russia’s economy.
Right now, we could produce two or three times more drones – depending on the type. But we simply don’t have enough money for that. It’s true. Just imagine if we could put two or three times more pressure on Russia than we do today.
