This is the first time “Amelia” has told her story to the media, and because of legal “edits” it honestly is just the tip of this iceberg. We @TMOFCharity have been supporting Amelia in her fight for justice for 4 years…. The fight continues and Amelia will not give up until the full truth is heard…. I was taken to Parliament thesun.co.uk/news/38697228/…

The ice destroyed his ship. ❄️ Eight hundred miles from the nearest help. He brought all twenty-eight men home. Ernest Shackleton. 1914. Set out to cross Antarctica. The Endurance became trapped in pack ice. Then crushed. Then sank. Five months on the ice. Three lifeboats to Elephant Island. Their first solid ground in sixteen months. No rescue would come to Elephant Island. Shackleton knew that. He took five men and the smallest lifeboat. 800 miles across the Southern Ocean. Waves sixty feet high. Hurricane winds. Sixteen days. Then thirty-six hours crossing unmapped mountains to the whaling station. 🏔️ August 1916. All twenty-two men rescued from Elephant Island. Not one life lost. In a lifeboat. Across the Southern Ocean. 🇬🇧 Your support pays for the research, the production and the hours it takes to get it right. Stories like Shackleton's deserve to be told properly. If you want to help keep them alive: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Every time you fly anywhere on earth. It traces back to Croydon. ✈️ South London. 1920. The world's first international airport. The world's first air traffic control tower. The world's first airport terminal. The world's first airport hotel. 🏨 And the word Mayday. In 1923 senior radio officer Fred Mockford needed a distress call. Most flights went to Paris. So he chose the French for help me. Mayday. Mayday. Mayday. Used by every pilot. Every sailor. Across every sky and sea. 🌊 Charles Lindbergh landed here in 1927. One hundred thousand people came to meet him. Amy Johnson took off from here in 1930. The first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia. Winston Churchill took flying lessons here. George VI got his wings here. 🇬🇧 It closed in 1959. The building still stands. In Croydon. Every international airport on earth. Every air traffic control tower. Every Mayday call. Traces back to South London. This is the kind of history we were never taught. 📚 Proud Of Us UK is funded entirely by the community watching it. No sponsors. No broadcaster. No institution. Just people who believe British history deserves to be told. If you watched this and felt something... That's exactly why we exist.

Britain invented free schooling for every child. 1560. 🇬🇧 Rich or poor. Every parish. Every child. The idea spread to America. To Africa. All around the world. It started with a man who spent 19 months chained to an oar on the North Sea. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Slave reparations! I’m all in! I’ve decided to personally gift £1 million Sterling to every single person my family ever enslaved. Please form an orderly queue and bring: • Ironclad documents proving my family personally enslaved you (bonus points if they include my great-great-grandpa’s signature and a Polaroid). • Your birth certificate proving you were born before Britain abolished slavery on 1 August 1834. • Proof you’re still alive (the gift can only be claimed in person, no ghosts, no estates, no “my ancestor told me so”). Oh, and while you’re at it, maybe swing by the local cemetery with a shovel. I’m sure those poor souls buried since the 1800s would appreciate being dug up for their cheque. They’ve waited long enough, right? Look, if we’re doing “reparations” for historical slavery, let’s do it properly: only to the actual victims. Not their great-great-great-grandchildren who were born free in the 20th or 21st century, sipping oat milk lattes while tweeting about “trauma.” This isn’t justice, it’s a cosmic-level grift. It’s like demanding the Roman Empire pay for the roads they built because some distant ancestor got conquered by Caesar. Or billing modern Italians for every Gaul who got turned into a slave 2,000 years ago. Newsflash: No living person in Britain today was a slave under British law, and no living person in Britain today owned slaves under British law. The people who suffered are dead. The people who profited are dead. Their descendants, Black, White, Asian, mixed, whatever had zero say in it. Chasing “reparations” from random taxpayers (including the descendants of abolitionists, coal miners, and people who arrived after 1834) isn’t healing historical wounds. It’s creating new ones while opening the most hilarious Pandora’s box in human history: • Should Ireland demand reparations from Britain for the Potato Famine? • Should Britain demand reparations from Denmark for the Viking slave raids? • Should Italians bill Mongols for the sack of Baghdad? • Should every African nation start invoicing each other for the centuries of tribal warfare and slave-trading that predated (and supplied) the transatlantic trade? Where does the grievance chain end? 1066? The Bronze Age? Lucy the Australopithecus getting stiffed on her cave rent? Slavery was a universal human horror, practised by every civilisation from the Egyptians to the Aztecs to the Arabs to the Africans themselves (who sold millions into the trade). Britain didn’t invent it. Britain ended it, at massive cost, with the Royal Navy spending decades hunting slave ships while other empires kept right on going. Demanding cash from people who never owned slaves, to give to people who were never slaves, isn’t “reparations.” It’s retroactive time-travel cosplay with other people’s money. It’s the ultimate participation trophy for historical victimhood: “My ancestor suffered, therefore I deserve a payout… even though I live in a free society with more opportunity than 99.9% of humans who ever lived.” If you want actual justice, how about this radical idea: Stop obsessing over who owes whom from 200 years ago, and start judging people by what they do today. Work hard. Build. Create. Don’t inherit grievances like their family heirlooms. The desire for slavery reparations isn’t righteous anger. It’s lazy, entitled, historically illiterate greed dressed up as moral superiority, demanding a lottery win for a suffering you never endured, from people who never caused it. My £1 million offer stands. Just bring the paperwork. And a time machine. #Reparations #Slavery Oh, and fcuk you Lenny Henry.

They told you this country has nothing to be proud of. They were wrong. 🇬🇧 2,300 years ago, Greek explorer Pytheas of Massalia sailed to these islands. He found Cornish tin miners already trading with the ancient world, and Stonehenge, built before the pyramids of Giza. He named us Pretannike. The Painted Isles. Britain. That's a snippet of who we were. Here is what we built: 🍎 Isaac Newton, a farmer's son from Lincolnshire, gave us the laws of the universe. ⚡ Michael Faraday, a blacksmith's son from Surrey, made electricity usable. 💉 Edward Jenner, a country doctor from Gloucestershire, gave the world vaccination. 🧫 Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin, saving over 200 million lives. 💻 Alan Turing broke the Enigma code at Bletchley Park. 🚂 Charles Babbage & George Stephenson pioneered the computer and the railway. 🌐 Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He could have patented it and become the richest person alive. He gave it away for free. We are the ordinary people who forced the most powerful empire on Earth to end slavery. Not once, but twice: 📜 The Slave Trade Act 1807 📜 The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 Then, we sent the Royal Navy to enforce it globally. The West Africa Squadron patrolled for 60 years. They captured 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 people. 7,000 British sailors died doing it. Nobody asked them to. No other nation joined them. They did it anyway.🇬🇧🫡 That's a snippet of what we chose to do. Here is what we gave the world: ⚖️ Magna Carta (1215) & Habeas Corpus 🏛️ Parliamentary Democracy 🌍 Common Law, now used by 80 countries and 3 billion people 🤝 The Commonwealth. 56 nations. They weren't forced to stay. They chose to join. We are on a mission to bring back our glorious history. Not to pretend we never did wrong, but to show the enormous amount of right. Every fact verifiable. Every claim true. We are Britain. We are mighty. Every video we make is funded by people who believe our history is worth saving. Stand with us: proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

🥾 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 There's a road in England older than the pyramids. It's a public footpath. Anyone can walk it. Five thousand years ago, traders carried flint tools along a chalk ridge in southern England. They followed the high ground. Dry. Safe. Above the forests and the swamps. Eighty seven miles. Wiltshire to Buckinghamshire. They called it the Ridgeway. It passed a white horse carved into the chalk. Three thousand years old. Still there. It passed burial mounds where chieftains were laid to rest. Stone chambers older than Stonehenge. Bronze Age farmers walked it. Iron Age warriors built hillforts above it. Romans crossed it. Anglo-Saxons named the villages along it. Medieval drovers herded cattle down it to London. Five thousand years of feet on the same chalk. And it's still there. Not in a museum. Not behind a fence. A national trail. Free. You can drive to Wiltshire on a Saturday morning. Step onto the same chalk your ancestors walked. And follow their footsteps along the ridge. The oldest road in Britain. Still open. Still free. Still yours. You are the reason we can tell these stories. proudofus.co.uk/support 🙏 Be part of us. 🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Having spent a lot of time looking into the constitutional side of things, there is something about the United Kingdom that most people simply don’t realise. Look at the structure of the country as it exists today. Scotland has its own Parliament. Wales has the Senedd. Northern Ireland has its Assembly. All three are recognised politically as nations with their own governing institutions. Now look at England. England is the largest nation on these islands by a huge margin. Over 50 million people. And yet England has no parliament of its own at all. Instead the UK Parliament in Westminster acts as two things at the same time. It acts as the parliament of the United Kingdom, but it also acts as the domestic parliament for England. Think about what that means in practice. MPs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can vote on laws that affect England internally, while England itself has no constitutional institution representing it as a nation. So the largest nation in the Union is effectively invisible inside the system that governs it. That imbalance is one of the reasons politics in this country feels so broken. This isn’t about race. It isn’t about ethnicity. It’s about constitutional reality. England exists. England has interests. England has laws and a constitutional history that long predate the United Kingdom. But politically England has been folded into a system where it no longer exists as a governing unit. And the political class never want that conversation to happen. I’m just a working-class cab driver who took the time to read the history and the constitutional material. If I can do that, anyone can. People need to start educating themselves.

Britain does not need an “anti Muslim hostility tsar”. Everyone should be equal before the law. Preferential treatment breeds resentment. This is the path to sectarian dystopia.

One man gave you more words than anyone in history. He was nobody. His father made gloves. Grammar school. No university. The university playwrights called him an "upstart crow." He sat down and wrote. Bedroom. Lonely. Generous. Assassination. Eyeball. Dawn. Swagger. Gossip. Vulnerable. Words that didn't exist until he wrote them. Break the ice. Wild goose chase. Heart of gold. In a pickle. Good riddance. Brave new world. 135 phrases. Still in your mouth today. He didn't write for aristocrats. He built a theatre. The Globe. Three thousand people. One penny to get in. Porters. Servants. Apprentices. They called them the penny-stinkers. This wasn't the opera. This was the cinema. 4 billion copies sold. 1,000 films. The Lion King is Hamlet. 33,000 citations in the Oxford English Dictionary. The most quoted person in the entire dictionary. Second only to the Bible. He was one man. A glove-maker's son from a market town in the Midlands. Who wrote for penny-paying groundlings. And gave the world a language. You're still speaking it now. You are the reason we can tell these stories. Not sponsors. Not advertisers. You. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

The word British is older than Rome. 🇬🇧 Before England.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Before Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Before Wales.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A civilisation lived on this island. They had kings. They worked metal. They traded with the ancient world. They called themselves Pritani. The painted people. In 325 BC a Greek explorer sailed here and wrote the name down for the first time in human history. When Caesar arrived he called the island Britannia. But the name was already ancient. Rome didn't give us our name. They borrowed it. Then the Anglo-Saxons came from a peninsula in Denmark called Angeln. They pushed the Celts west. Into Wales. Into Cornwall. Across the sea to France. The Celts took their name with them. The region they settled in France is still called Brittany today. Same word. Different coast. Pritani. Pretannikai. Britannia. Britain. Brittany. One word. 2,300 years old. Still alive on both sides of the Channel. Romans. Anglo-Saxons. Vikings. Normans. Every one of them came to this island. None of them could erase what was already here. When you say I am British you are speaking a word older than Rome. Every video we make is funded by people who believe this history is worth saving. Not sponsors. Not ads.

@officialsammyuk Yesterday I received a call from a male victim of the grooming gangs in Scotland who shared his harrowing story that is similar to mine. We spoke for over three hours and he told me that he had spent years trying to get his voice heard in Scotland only to be rejected and silenced. As with more and more survivors he decided to travel down to London and give his testimony to the @rapeganginquiry @RupertLowe10 and he was very glad that he did. One thing he pointed out me was just how supportive you were to him which is not the first time I have heard this and on behalf of victims and survivors of abuse in Scotland I wanted to say thank you.. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

People are still trying to claim that children in the UK, for decades, have not been groomed, abused, raped, tortured, trafficked, and murdered. They want to know what the evidence is to support this. Let’s start with the witness testimonies of thousands of people who survived it; police, social care, NHS, and education files; DNA from the rapes; video footage; DNA from children born from the rapes, which proves their mothers were children and the rapists were adults; and court cases. And let’s not forget the dead bodies of the children from when they were murdered and committed suicide because no one helped them. Is that enough or shall I keep on going?

They said English culture doesn't exist. They said it in English. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The most spoken language on Earth. Born on this island. Fifteen hundred years ago, three tribes crossed the North Sea. Angles. Saxons. Jutes. They brought words we still use today. Earth. Water. Fire. Love. Mother. Father. Child. They called their language Englisc. They called this place Engla land. Land of the Angles. Then the Vikings came. They didn't just raid. They settled. Became neighbours. And when you live next door to someone, your languages merge. Sky. Skull. Knife. Window, the Viking for "wind-eye." They. Them. Their. Those aren't English words. They're Viking. Ordinary people chose them because they worked better. Then came 1066. The Normans conquered England. The new rulers spoke French. For three hundred years, English had no official status in its own country. But the people never stopped speaking it. The farmer called it a cow. The lord called it beef. Pig and pork. Sheep and mutton. That class divide is still on your plate tonight. English didn't die. It swallowed ten thousand French words and came back stronger. Today. One and a half billion people speak this language. Every pilot on Earth speaks it. Half the internet is written in it. No academy designed it. No king commanded it. It was built by ordinary people. On this island. They said English culture doesn't exist. They said it in English. You're the reason these stories reach millions of people. Not sponsors. Not ads.

It's alarming that almost nobody is asking the obvious question: If the independent, non partisan election monitors of Democracy Volunteers observed 'family voting' affecting 12% of voters in Gorton and Denton, and such conduct is illegal under the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023, why was it allowed to continue? Why have no arrests been made? Why has Britain become so desensitised to the industrial scale exploitation of our systems of government that authorities simply shrug? Time to make the law mean something again. Britain needs Reform.
