For the second time in one year, I hear that my mom is dying. It's impossible to describe the pain. If yours is alive, take good care of her.

I was in Colorado a few months and found the Red White and Blue thrift shops. About 2/3rds of their inventory is new. Some returns. I swapped out most of my wardrobe to get rid of all the plastic shit for natural fibers. Most of it is high end stuff, silk, Egyptian/pima cotton, even a new $300 Elton John shirt.

Does nobody make real clothes anymore? I’m so tired of ordering “100% cotton” clothing (which takes forever to find) only for it yo be made of plastic and a pain to return.

I can no longer hold my tongue seeing the utter lies being spread about Britain, our history of migration, and how this country was built into what it is today. For those so deeply buried in fake news, manufactured outrage and billionaire‑funded propaganda, I’m going to lay out the truth – and exactly why you’re being fed all this poison. Britain was never a sealed white island. From Roman times there were African soldiers stationed on Hadrian’s Wall and living in British towns, people from across the empire walking these roads nearly 2,000 years ago. Through the Middle Ages and Tudor England you still find Black people in the records – sailors, craftsmen, servants, musicians – even Black musicians at the royal court and Africans being baptised, marrying and being buried in English parishes like anyone else. This isn’t some modern experiment; it’s older than half the castles people visit on their bank‑holiday tours. As Britain went out into the world, the world came here. Sailors and traders from India, Yemen and beyond were arriving in British ports from the 1600s. Some of those men were practising a new faith to most Britons at the time, praying quietly in boarding houses near the docks while they worked brutal shifts in the engine rooms of British ships. Over the centuries, more people from North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia passed through and settled, bringing their languages, foods and beliefs into port cities that were far more mixed than today’s nostalgia merchants like to admit. After two world wars, the truth is simple: this country asked the Commonwealth to come and rebuild it. People from the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia didn’t sneak in; they were recruited. They came to drive buses and trains, staff the NHS, work in mills and foundries, clean offices, run corner shops, open takeaways and small businesses, and yes, build prayer spaces and community centres alongside churches and temples in the neighbourhoods everyone now pretends were always “traditional” and “unchanged”. They did the work that kept Britain going while being told to go home, refused housing, and treated as permanent outsiders. And what have they been paid back with? Scandals where people who’ve lived, worked and paid taxes here for decades get told they don’t belong. Policies designed to make life so hostile that some give up and leave. A media that uses their names, accents, clothes or places of worship as props in endless scare stories. The message is always the same: you might toil for this country, but you will never fully be of it. So when you hear that “Britain was white until recently” or that the country has been “overrun”, understand that you don’t arrive at that belief by accident. You get there because your history has been deliberately ripped out and replaced with a comforting myth: that “real” Britain is white, homogenous, and constantly under siege from people who look, speak or pray differently. Now look at when this myth has been turned up to max volume. Wages frozen. Housing a sick joke. Energy and food prices out of control. Public services hacked to pieces. At the same time, the number of people hoarding unimaginable wealth at the top has exploded. Funny, isn’t it, how every front page is about boats and “swarms” and “our culture”, and almost never about the landlords, hedge funds, private equity and offshore trusts quietly buying up your city and your future. That’s because this isn’t just prejudice; it’s a strategy. If you’re sitting on a mountain of wealth, the last thing you want is ordinary people – of every colour and background – realising they have the same problems and the same enemy. Much safer if the factory worker is furious at the new family down the road. Much safer if the person who can’t see a doctor blames the nurse with an accent instead of the minister who cut the funding. Much safer if a man who can’t afford his rent spends his rage on the woman in a headscarf at the bus stop instead of the billionaire who owns half his city. Racist rhetoric, religious dog‑whistling, all of it, exists to break solidarity. It turns neighbours into enemies and stops people seeing that Black, brown and white working‑class communities have far more in common with each other than any of them will ever have with the people flying in on private jets. It keeps you so busy policing skin colour, passports and prayer mats that you never get round to asking why your kids can’t afford a home, why your parents can’t get a hospital bed, why you’re working harder and standing still. The real story of Britain is this: a crossroads, not a fortress. Africans on Hadrian’s Wall. Black people in Tudor courts and city streets. Sailors, traders and workers from South Asia, the Middle East and beyond in the ports. Caribbean, African and Asian workers rebuilding the country after the war, staffing surgeries and hospitals, driving cabs, running shops, cooking food, teaching kids. Today’s multi‑ethnic, multi‑faith working class is not a glitch; it is Britain. It built this place and it keeps it running. If you’re genuinely angry about what’s happening to this country, good. You should be. But aim it where it belongs. Britain was never pure, never untouched, never “theirs” to take back. The people ruining your standard of living are not the ones risking their lives to get here, or the ones whose names you struggle to pronounce. They’re the ones buying politicians, owning media outlets, writing the story of this country so you never learn your own – and never realise who is standing beside you.

@NiallHarbison Have similar problems myself .... mouth opens before brain engages 😉

Stormzy says he hops you have a lovely end to the week and are kind to each other. He says since the whack on the head he can’t get his ear, eyes and tongue perfectly lined up but he’s working on it. ❤️

Unbelievably good news to share on Apollo the dog from the dramatic rescue from last week. I sit with him to tell him and also introduce some new patients at Tina's hospital. A longer watch but it gives you an insight to what goes on behind the scenes and lots of good news!

@2147mill In UK, don't appear to be able to buy JEQP thru Revolut S&S ISA .... do you need a certain classification to make this buy &, if so, is there a good alternative?

What if you could compare how different vaults manage your money side by side? Not just APYs. The actual strategy. Where the funds go, what liquidity pools they land in, how much risk each protocol takes, and how they generate your yield from start to finish. That's what @flareforward is exploring. A public page built on the transparency Web3 already gives us, starting with vaults like @upshift_fi on @FlareNetworks . Real data, real positions, real accountability. This could change how you decide where to put your money. But we're not building it without you. Tell us if this is something you'd actually use. Like it, share it, comment on it. Let's talk about it.

Happy New Year folks! May God keep blessing you and your loved ones big time!!

@grok @JoelKatz

Hey @grok put me in a bikini.

Hello folks! Happy Merry Christmas! Happy Holydays!! May God bless you and your loved ones beyond measure!!

@MahonyHila81440 @MTM130 @dineen20dineen ...... with its head/neck in a carrier bag to catch the blood 🤦‍♀️. A few days earlier it was 'gobbling' around out in the back yard. Kids today would be offered counselling, or taken into care, if 'put through this'. My mum wanted fresh turkey .... no fresher!

@MTM130 @dineen20dineen We actually hung the turkey on the back of our front room door. And dya know what it was fine. It's funny how times change and yet Christmas comes every year

And back in the days there was no fridge and the turkey kept in the scullery sure it was colder than a fridge

@KriegVII 🙏

Folks I went to visit my Mom today, and her situation is very delicate. She's still fighting bacteria and infecction, but she is very thin. To be honest I think she doesn't have much time, unless something change or a miracle happen. I am shattered.

I just spent £61 in @NewLook and was told I had to give my email address to get a receipt. That is completely false and totally unlawful. A receipt is a legal requirement when a customer asks for one and it cannot be made conditional on handing over personal data. UK GDPR is very clear that consent has to be freely given and necessary for the service. An email is not needed to print a receipt. What makes this worse is their target demographic is younger people who often do not know their rights. The girls (all of them) behind the till lied straight to my face, then got shitty when I challenged them. When she realised I was a nasty mean old bird, she finally printed mine, and everyone else in the queue suddenly asked for printed receipts too. That tells you everything. Customers do not want this. I will be reporting it, because this kind of data-grabbing is out of control and companies like New Look know exactly what they are doing. It is shocking behaviour.

These comments made my day! The giant financial redpill interview with @SimonDixonTwitt is CLEARLY very enlightening. The community DEMANDS @Kylechasse to make a part 2.❤️ This amazing community feedback means a lot. I’ve been awake since 2011. The world is FINALLY waking up! 🥳

There was little doubt. The Army is for real. I said that after 75K joined the @SECGov 🆚 @Ripple case.

1. See obvious @bgarlinghouse impersonation, fake video promising XRP airdrop. Super obvious scam 2. See 40 replies "oh thanks", "didn't think it would work but it did", etc.: Even more obvious scam 3. Report impersonation video 4. Receive email that no wrongdoing was found. Scam stays up Every. Single. Time. 🥺 Stay safe out there. Protect yourself. Because X sure won't.
