amusing since french huguenots experienced xenophobia upon arrival. since huguenots were weavers, english weavers protested them, fearing they'd take jobs and housing, as well as create public disorder. but over time, the huguenots improved the UK textile industry, adding jobs

@leftrestoration Ramsey went to Birkbeck & Nye won a scholarship from the South Wales Miners' Federation to attend the Central Labour College, where he studied for two years. They were highly intelligent men who, because of the era they lived in, had limited access to educational opportunities.

Tedious common men as politicians: - Ramsay Mcdonald; son of a farmhand and professional clerk. Ran Britain when it controlled 20% of the world economy. - Nye Bevan; former mineworker. Founded the NHS. - Ernest Bevin; former truck driver, instrumental in founding NATO What have any of our posh Oxbridge leaders achieved in the last thirty years even closely comparable?

@JoeBrindle_ @leftrestoration Ramsey went to Birkbeck and Nye won a scholarship from the South Wales Miners' Federation to attend the Central Labour College in London, where he studied for two years. They were intelligent and definitely would have gone to more prestigious universities if born today.

@leftrestoration I do think it's worth considering that, if born today, these men would've most likely all gone to University. Bevan was an incredibly studious child but never had the opportunity - probably would get a scholarship to Oxbridge in 2026.

After my daughter died, my son in law dropped my 3 small grandchildren off daily at a school breakfast club so that he could continue to work. They support a wide range of families in so many different ways. This Reform Cllr really ought to think before she opens her mouth

I did NOT expect this - I actually met a REAL patriot at Tommy Robinson’s UTK event! 🔥

Is this weird?

Not a fan of Reeves, but quite nice to see a politician shouting something back rather than immediately defaulting to cry-bullying and claiming they were abused.

@JanTaiwo @lagosgist_ @DamiMarshal @FemiMarshall Her mother.

@lagosgist_ @DamiMarshal @FemiMarshall This people always make me laugh Because K1 him is not from Lagos state and yet he has is Daughter contesting for office under Lagos state Why can’t they go back to Ogun state

APC Lagos Assembly Primaries – Surulere Constituency II Damilola Ayinde-Marshall, aspirant for Surulere Constituency II, made a notable arrival as party members and supporters gathered ahead of the APC Lagos State House of Assembly Primary Election. She received a rousing welcome, greeted with loud cheers and visible excitement from supporters and constituents at the ongoing primaries in Surulere Local Government Area, Lagos State.

@BBCBreaking I suspect one fell in and others tried to rescue and got into trouble. Tragic. May their souls rest in peace.

@AngloRestore Yep.

George Orwell was born and raised in India. Is he Indian?

@amcgltd @mrsbearkcmo1 Funny, some random bloke saying this when the families themselves have stated they do. Are you part of the family ?

@mrsbearkcmo1 @Buschcorner Lol.. is this the afro-marxist version of history haha? They have literally tested the dna of present and past aristocrats and there is no sub saharan dna you low iq muppet.

Numerous European royals & aristocrats descend from Abram Petrovich Gannibal, a Black man born in Cameroon. His descendants are the Grosvenors, the Mountbattens (the King’s cousins), and the Greek and Danish royal family

@Hoopfan3745111 I find that the people who claim Greek history the most aren't even Greek. Mostly western and northern Europeans.

@Buschcorner well said ... THEY use them ... royalties without a country ... we Greeks laugh at them ...

@supernovaposie @daniellexxcx Sounds like a lot of the same complaints people made during the 1950 race riots. Their descendants adapted and the new migrants will too. In the long run, everyone will be fine 🤷‍♂️

@Buschcorner @daniellexxcx I think you don't understand what's been happening and as has been pointed out they don't distinguish hence the original post. Too many old people abused in care homes, areas turned into pig stys, bad driving, fraud, belowing loud voice everywhere and hoggish behaviour.

Only true black brits are descendants of windrush simple as that stop grouping me with first gen babatundes

@Hoopfan3745111 I agree but they still use the royal titles.

@Buschcorner they are not Greek ... they were imposed by Germany after the Greek revolution against the Ottoman oppressors in the 1830s ... they were of German and Danish decent ... Greeks kicked them out of the country as late as the 1970s ...

@IndigeniusBlkAm Looks like they've let the asylum occupants out.

@Buschcorner He’s not Black, he’s African. Stop the erasure.

@cryptostweet Well, still using their titles. The British queens husband was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.

@Buschcorner Greece doesn't have a royal family. They sent germans to rule over us. That's why we kicked them out, greeks hate them.

@Hoopfan3745111 Really ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_roy… Tell that to Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. Duke of Edinburgh.

@Buschcorner There is no Greek royal family ...

@supernovaposie @daniellexxcx I think you’re assuming Caribbeans somehow have a better reputation than Africans. Funny, because the racists didn’t seem to care when they were trying to deport the Windrush generation or blaming every rise in crime on “yardies.” Good luck though 👍

@Buschcorner @daniellexxcx Yeah cause you .missed the other point of the post. Go to New Cross, Peckham etc. See how done behave and yeah you don't want to be associated with that Lagos mentality at all.

@biqmonietrav @XONYT_ Ethnically black ? 🤣 Good lord, the CIA has done a number on you lot.

@XONYT_ What makes this conversation so funny is that Africans are doing the same thing to Caribbeans that both groups do to Black Americans. Neither group is even ethnically Black for real but you use the fake concept of race to justify appropriating Black culture

The African faction within "Black-British" culture is nowhere near as large or even comparable to the British-Caribbean influence. What forms of aspects of "Black-British" culture have Africans created in the UK which all Black groups utilise within the UK? Being a plurality, i.e. having a larger population, clearly does equate to being the most influential. Whenever we predominantly observe the usage of "Black-British" identity, it is to appropriate Black-Caribbean culture under the banner of Blackness by Africans, which they have no claim to. Caribbean language and verbiage, primarily from Jamaican Patois, shaped "slang" in the UK, not African. Caribbean music culture, including soundsystem and clash culture, laid the foundation for Grime Music. Caribbean culture shaped the Notting Hill Carnival in the United Kingdom, the largest festival in the Country, estimated to be 11 times larger than Glastonbury. So, please tell me what Africans in the UK have formulated that is bigger than these aspects, especially what all Black people emulate in the UK.

@_Plac3_hold3r Mainly his Pushkin descendants.

@Buschcorner Via whom?
