UB40 on stage at the Together Alliance march,
"We were all born in the 1950s, that was the time unions were strong, my dad was a factor worker, and we had the NHS, council houses, and it was a great time for the working class"
"We all grew up in inner city Birmingham, it was a melting pot. You could sit on your doorstep and see teh four corners of the world go by"
"Members of the band were the first generation of Black British. Their parents came over in the Windrush convoy. We went to school together"
"And we remember Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech"
"We remember when the Tories using posters saying: if you want a coloured person as your neighbour, vote Labour"
"We also remember the rise of the national front. Policies to force repatriation of people from the Caribbean"
"Then we had the rise of the BNP in the 80s and the 90s"
"Then we had the spivs and millionaires in UKIP"
"And now we've got Reform UK"
"Of course they're full of Tories, taking the toxic policies that UKIP had, and the National Front promise of forced repatriation which is what Theresa May did in her government"
"Over the years we've visited all kinds of places from America, Australia, Africa"
"And one thing we've come to the conclusion of is that working people around the world have more in common with each other than they do with the elites and the billionaire class"
"There are more of us than there are of them"
"This has been such an amazing turnout, it's absolutely incredible"
"In conclusion, I'd like to quote that great political philosopher, Wolfie Smith, and say"
"Power to the people"
Thank you @UB40OFFICIAL @UKTogetherAll 👏

@BrianAtlas Wow, since when should a government have the right to tell you what to do or for you to ask permission. This is horrifying and the gradual build up to full control of citizens

Germany is gearing up for war... Young men are no longer allowed to leave Germany without permission. Since January 1, 2026, all men between the ages of 17 and 45 must obtain permission if they intend to leave Germany for more than three months – regardless of whether it's for a semester abroad, a job, or an extended trip. This requirement now applies permanently and is no longer limited to situations of tension or defense, i.e., a concrete military threat. The change came into effect as part of the Military Service Modernization Act. Is this that male privilege and female oppression I've been hearing about?

@LucidIntels @KernowKoth The original poster is the one dragging it up to take a swipe at the left 🤦♂️and the irony of saying "do better" when you think this shit isn't that bad.

I grew up with all this and everyone got on famously until the far left turned up

Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain.@YesterdaysBrit1
Childhood memories from the seventies. Now a taboo subject.

@SBarrettBar Yes it’s shocking. So many angry, bitter key board warriors

Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakenng after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11. His response was awesome:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played brefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me.

@jamesy90112 @KernowKoth I never said that or meant that. It was a different time and a different era. It was over 50 years ago. It’s done, it’s over, it’s past. Why keep
Dragging the same narrative up and up over and over. Move on, do better, look forward

@LucidIntels @KernowKoth So your one "black mate" wasn't bothered by it, that means every other black person would be okay with it?

@TorstenProchnow @GlobeEyeNews This is getting crazy. Total
Control

@GlobeEyeNews All young men in Germany are now required, from the age of 17, to obtain official permission if they want to leave the country for more than three months. Without that permission, they are no longer allowed to leave. This is Germany.

What’s striking about rewatching these clips of Tiswas is the fact that its style perfectly fitted the times (‘74-‘82).
Messy, unpredictable, juvenile, yet silly, joyful & tremendous fun.
“Fun”.
Its slow, relentless removal feels deliberately destructive.
Very sad…

@Bird_XRPL We do t even seem to get the weekend upward trickle anymore. Bottom in? 🤔

Controversial take, I think men’s obsession with women being hairless sits uncomfortably close to pedophilia. The cultural obsession men have with a completely hairless female body deserves scrutiny.
