⭐️LINCOLN SHOW❤️NOT HATE JULY 8🙏🏽 I thought this was a joke. But no there’s a Nazi far right fascist organisation ‘on tour’ @hopenothate says they are ‘the most significant fascist threat seen in the UK for years’. Their leader dresses like Hitler. WTF?! How is this even legal🤷🏾‍♂️

😮NAZIS IN MY HOME CITY OF LINCOLN🤷🏾‍♂️This is what happens when Tories use anti immigration rhetoric as a smoke screen for crashing the economy & sending mortgages through the roof. Many sadly fall for it & Nazi outfits like this seek to profit from it. I stand with you❤️must win🙏🏽

⭐️AIRBRUSHED FROM HISTORY⭐️ Important read in the same week Nazi’s come to my home city Lincoln. My Mum&Dad in pic👏🏽mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/f…

Mali 🇲🇱 Had A University in the 1200 AD that taught Astronomie, Geographie, medicine, Mathematics and so on. Home of Mansa Musa, Richest Man in the History of Mankind!!! Timbuktu in Mali 🇲🇱 is home to one of the World's oldest University, Sankore which had libraries filled with manuscript written in Ajama (African languages such as Hausa written in scripts in form of Arabic) in the 1200AD. University of Sankore is believed to be built by Mansa Musa around 988AD the richest man in history. Subjects studied in the university included Geography, Astronomy, Medicine, Mathematics, Science and even history, despite the fact that history was never part of any teaching curriculum in the Islamic world at the time. When Europeans and Asians begin visiting and Colonizing Mali in the 1300s to 1800s the Malians began hiding their Manuscripts in basement, attics and underground in fear of destruction or theft by foreigners. In recent history many as 700,000 scripts had been rediscovered and is in modern and advanced mathematics. #Africa

We know it’s possible to give refugees safe passage – we did it with Ukrainian refugees. Will you stand with refugees and demand safe passage for people who want to claim asylum in the UK?

Interesting developments, it looks like there is a rise in anti-racist discourse locally and a growing recognition and pride in Lincolnshire's diversity.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the UK govt's 'apology' for the #Windrush scandal. This report from Human Rights Watch serves as a helpful reminder that these recommendations, already called for, & many others, need implementing as a matter of urgency. hrw.org/news/2023/04/1…
