Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain.
Another High Street blast from the past. Note the advert for 'Fast Photo Service, only £3.99' Back in the eighties, shops like these did a roaring trade, often selling everything from cigarettes, magazines, sweets, newspapers, records, cassettes and computer games.

@80s_Kidz I always seemed to be eating tea when Lifeline was on. I was told Tales of the Unexpected was rude so couldn’t watch it.

I suspect dear Lenny thinks that Britain invented slavery And that the Pryramids were presumably built by volunteers
The British Patriot@TheBritLad

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.

All the advances in technology and machinery that have been made in the last 40 years… and yet we’re light years behind the pioneers that created this level of packaging…

@joebarnard I feel sorry for CAPSTONE. It’s still out there thinking it’s doing a worthwhile job.

Why after 52 years on this planet why is it only recently that there’s been a need for mass public celebrations of Eid in the UK?

@DavidBraben Sad to hear. I still have his Airshow book I was bought as a kid back in the 80s. Such amazing style.

@KieraDiss It’s already happening in secondary school English lessons. My child knows about Care4Calais and the ‘brave’ crossings migrants make in boats. It’s basically brainwashing.

LEAKED GREEN PARTY DOSSIER The Daily Express reports a leaked document suggesting the Green Party wants children taught they have a “moral obligation” to accept immigration. This isn’t just politics. It shows how dangerous the Greens will be if elected. That can’t happen.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇬🇧 UK's Green Party dossier was leaked, revealing their plans to teach kids they have a “moral obligation” to accept immigrants. The goal? To “disseminate knowledge” about immigration directly in classrooms. Sure.

Direct evidence for Venusian lava tubes 1 km in diameter and 300m tall: eos.org/articles/new-e… Radar scans from the Magellan mission were re-analyzed to reveal this masive void 150m below the surface near the volcano Nyx Mons.

If people would just pick up the bits of #litter in front of their property... Maybe help their neighbours if they know they can't do it themselves. What's stopping them from being civic minded individuals? #LWYL #OneMillionBags March: 6 - 2026: 33
