Britain once threatened war with its oldest friend. 🇬🇧
A friendship sealed at Windsor in 1386. Still in force today. 🤝
In 1839 Britain told Portugal: stop shipping human beings. Or the Royal Navy will stop you. ⚓
Off East Africa, HMS Modeste chased a slave ship for nearly nine hours. 695 people stepped onto a jetty at Cape Town. Never sold. 🕊️
They teach you the ships that carried people. Not the ones that stopped them.
Watch the full story. 🎥
As wise/informed as it is funny/entertaining. @billmaher is a credit to civil society.
This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."

Until 1979, Sweden classified homosexuality as a mental illness. That year, activists took the classification as an illness to its logical extent - Swedes called in too gay to go to work.
While Iran in the 1970s was not (by Western standards) a democracy, this account is true. Socialists and Islamists combined to create a revolution. Then the Islamists imprisoned or killed the socialists.
Excellente vidéo de #kavehsamaei ( sur Instagram ) Les Iraniens répètent, inlassablement, le même message d’alerte à l’Occident qui reste sourd et aveugle, alors que le danger est déjà sur notre sol. À partager sans modération !
Ecoutez et regardez svp !

My attempt at discussing what has driven violent riots & wanton destruction in France (not without interruption). I was also reacting to unhelpfully labelling Kemi Badenoch's mention of challenges of migration y'day, as a Trump-like dog whistle #PoliticsLive

Look at how the dictators of Russia, Cuba, and Iran stand together, united in oppression.
Now look at us. Women who have stood up to their dictatorships, united in resistance.
we are wounded but unbowed to our oppressors. 💔✌️

This video exchange captures our existential fight today.
The woman we might call the heritage French woman, a socialist, is willing to surrender her nation out of white guilt. The immigrant from the Congo could not be more French and capitalist, and she has to fight for her livelihood against this evil of white guilt.
What makes the values and principles of the West immensely great is that they were never about color, even when those in the West fell short, but about who was willing to embrace the freedoms in order to have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Myriam was a 7-year-old French Jewish girl. She witnessed a terrorist break into her school and kill two of her classmates.
She tried to run but tripped while grabbing her schoolbag, causing her ballet slippers to fall out. She stopped to pick them up. He chased her and grabbed her by the hair, shooting her in the head at point-blank range.
The man was Mohamed Merah, and a rap song honoring him and other Muslim terrorists has become the unofficial anthem of the ‘student protests’ in France.
🚨 ALERTE - Des élèves ONT BLOQUÉ le lycée François Villon, à Beaugency (45), en écoutant MRH, un titre faisant référence à des TERRORISTES ISLAMISTES.
« À la Mohamed Merah, v-esqui' les caméras. Bataclan, je l'ai shooter à l'œil, chasse à l'homme, Salah Abdeslam »
« J’ai pas peur, j’ai pas peur de l’enfer, le pacte est intact, à part Allah qui peut m’arrêter. Bataclan, faisaient les morts, allongez-vous, je vais en shooter à l’œil ».
