IRA has gone away. Watch BBC documentary on the Robert McCartney murder. See how the IRA swung into action to seal off & clean up the crime scene, how witnesses were identified threatened, how the victims were intimidated. Everything shows an active controlled organisation.

A reminder
The IRA murderers watched him place the baby in a carry cot on the back seat of his car.
They waited till he got in the drivers seat then opened fire from behind the vehicle in the full knowledge that the bullets would pass through the baby before killing her dad.
There are scum in this world who think the IRA were freedom fighters.
They were cold blooded killers

The person demanding “reparations” was never a slave…
You and your entire family almost certainly have never owned slaves…
You owe them NOTHING!

I think @afneil has already dealt with this lie when it was Starmer peddling it.
“The reason the small boat crisis has arisen is we can’t return people and we have people knowing we can’t.”
The Prime Minister has argued that the arrival of around 213,000 illegal migrants across the Channel was a consequence of Britain leaving the EU.
Small boat crossings were first detected at the end of January 2018, two years before Britain left the EU. The Conservative government at the time declared the situation a “major incident” ⤵️

Wonderful news. This means that if we rejoined, we'd have up to £218bn a year extra to spend that we didn't have before! Thing is, I don't recall being that well off while we were members last time, but I'm sure that's just memory playing tricks. Altogether now: 🎶Happy days are here again. . .🎵
The EU fee was about £12.6bn a year, whereas the estimated Brexit loss of output is now roughly £170bn–£230bn a year, with an associated loss of tax revenue of roughly £65bn–£85bn a year. That makes the fee equivalent to only about 5–7% of the estimated annual GDP loss. #BrexSHIT
Climate alarmists having their cake & eating it - hillarious !!!
Lol! Get a load of this. 🤣
A few weeks ago, The Washington Post reported that the lack of hurricanes in the Atlantic this year is because thunderstorm updrafts are becoming weaker as a result of global warming. Ben Noll’s argument was that higher warming rates in the upper troposphere relative to the lower stabilizes the atmosphere (which, if true, is the correct interpretation).
Last week, however, The Post changed their story. According to Dr. Victor Gensini, a professor at Northern Illinois University, global warming is actually making thunderstorms updrafts more powerful because of reduced atmospheric stability, which is leading to larger hail.
The climate panic merchants never get their stories straight. Their religion is built on a house of cards.

A reminder of what Burnham said in May:
"I am not proposing that the UK considers rejoining the EU, I respect the decision that was made at the referendum."
Now he wants an "honest" conversation about the EU after he lied? You can’t trust a word he says.

I understand not listening to the Beatles (maybe you don’t care to explore their albums) or preferring other artists.
But if you disregard their influence on most music we listen to today or call them overrated, I genuinely will assume you know fuck all.

He told a 65% Leave town he'd respect Brexit, then got the job and started measuring up for Brussels. Every Brexit-backing seat should remember Makerfield.

And remember remainers told us that UK financial services would be decimated by Brexit.
In fact, financial services exports to the EU have increased significantly, most likely helped by regulatory divergence possible only because of …
... Brexit!

I’ve worked with the EU. I’ve seen the institution up close: increasingly authoritarian, anti-democratic and contemptuous of national sovereignty.
I voted for Brexit. I’d vote for Brexit again.
Mass migration. Erosion of Western values. Deindustrialisation. Power shifting ever further from voters to an unaccountable European political class.
Brexit didn’t fail. Brexit was never properly delivered.
It was squandered by an inept, disloyal political establishment, and now that same establishment wants to use its own failure as the excuse for an undemocratic U-turn.
Britain voted to leave. The answer to a botched Brexit is not surrendering our sovereignty back to Brussels.

Reminds me of a time when a provo would say “They won’t criminalise our struggle” right after he blew up a shop full of women and kids.

People who say "I think The Beatles/The Godfather/Sopranos etc is over rated" have to be weak in the head.
Attention seeking dopes said that about them at the time too but now the jury is IN. So shut up now eh?
How about Beethoven? Or Picasso? Shakespeare?
The question is was MOTD's coverage more biased against #tottenhamhotspur than this BBC match report 🤔bbc.co.uk/sport/football/liv…

Dawn Butler makes a powerful point about inherited debts being owed by the modern generation. I'd like to thank her for this.
It today's terms freeing the slaves cost around £17Billion (using GDP values) on top of which Royal Navy deployments for the 60 years or so they were active in hunting down the slaves ships and disrupting the slave trade cost the UK another £30Billion to £50Billion at today's value (again using GDP values).
Using the figures above we get a sum of between £47Billion and £67Billion that Black Britains and Black people from the former Empire owe the UK Treasury. And this is before any calculation is considered for the compensation to the families of the 17,000 sailors who died on these operations.
Having explained so cogently why this sum should be paid I look forward to @DawnButlerBrent's suggestions as to a payment plan.
