Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on his Al-Qaeda past: I did not agree with Al-Qaeda policies. If I did, I would have continued with them. I do not think that they serve people or their interests. If I was persuaded with their policies, I would have continued. I moved into a different policy. I created it, and I paid the cost for it.

If you or I went to an asylum seeker hotel, rendered two of them unconscious, kicked them in the head and stamped on them… would we get a suspended sentence? NO

Genuinely can’t believe my ears hearing Tories announce Britain should drill much more in the North Sea. Less than 4 years ago it was THEM that slapped a 75% tax on it! Never forget.

🚨AUTHORITARIAN BRITAIN: Police Throw a 75-Year-Old GRANDMOTHER with Double Hip Replacements Into a Van & REFUSED Her a Chair for Offering Peaceful Conversation Britain’s police priorities are shameful. 75-year-old grandmother Rose Docherty was arrested in the street for silently holding a sign: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” She stood peacefully offering consensual conversation to anyone who approached (particularly on coercion, an issue close to her heart) without approaching or speaking to anyone. Officers threw the frail pensioner, who has had double hip replacements, into the back of a van, then held her in a cell for two hours and refused her a chair. This thuggish treatment of a peaceful elderly woman, while violent mobs often face lighter responses, shows how far free speech has fallen in the UK.

Lenny Henry wants Britain to cough up £18 trillion in reparations because 'all black British people personally deserve money for the effects of slavery.' Funny how he skips the part where Britain was the first major power to ban the slave trade in 1807, then sent the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron to patrol the coast for decades. They seized 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 Africans .. at the cost of British sailors' lives and huge expense. Britain didn't just stop its own involvement; it actively fought to end the trade globally. Meanwhile, in Africa today (per the Global Slavery Index), countries like Eritrea, Mauritania, South Sudan, Nigeria and others still have some of the world's highest rates of modern slavery .. forced labour, child soldiers, hereditary servitude, trafficking. Millions trapped right now. And Lenny's own roots? Jamaica (his parents' homeland). It still has notable modern slavery issues too, including forced labour and exploitation. So... demanding trillions from British taxpayers (including black Brits) for 200-year-old history, while African and Caribbean nations haven't fully confronted slavery's continuation on their own soil? That's not justice. That's selective outrage and hypocrisy. Focus on ending slavery today everywhere .. not guilt-tripping one country that helped stop it yesterday.
