@queenie4rmnola The god damn Romans and Egyptians had slaves. The pyramids were built 5000 years ago by slaves, long before nation states and Europe as a world force.

True. Slavery lasted from 1526 - 1865, spanning 10-12 generations of Black families

@SerenaHawks76 @DaveTweet176908 @CeeMacBee @JohnCleese Are the Ghanaians who sold their fellow Africans into slavery going to pay?

@DaveTweet176908 @CeeMacBee @JohnCleese No one is paying money to Ghana. They put the resolution forward as a lot of slaves came from the area that is now known as Ghana. The resolution is about justice and setting up a reparation fund for those that are descended from slaves. Don’t lie about it to justify yourself.

Daniel Hannan: 'No one asks for reparations from, say, China (which did not abolish slavery until 1910) or Ethiopia (1942) or Saudi Arabia (1962), because these countries do not encourage the shake-down artists.' 'The resolution was moved by Ghana on behalf of the African Union, which has indicated that it intends to pursue Britain and various European countries through the courts. China, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia were among the states that backed the motion. So, shamelessly, were North Korea, Eritrea and Mauritania, the three places where slavery is most prevalent today.' Britain should slap sanctions on any country demanding slavery reparations telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

@HeidiBachram No they are on an antifascist march. Which is essentially the same thing. But by people who think they are good and kind and also think anyone who doesn't agree with them is a bad person.

If your anti-fascist march has people holding the image of the Ayatollah who slaughtered thousands of peaceful protesters then you’re on a fascist march.

@rcolvile What even is 8 o'clock? If you are not trying to disabuse the child that time is anything real what are you even doing? It's not like we use local solar time so what is 8 o'clock?

Explaining British Summer Time to a seven-year-old and it’s like having my own personal Peter Hitchens. ‘Yes, but it’s not REALLY 8 o’clock, is it?’

@ZackPolanski @TheGreenParty @SussexFriends You can criticise Israel. I'd try and keep it to facts though not base it on propaganda from those who want to kill Jews.

@Rosiegdn @TheGreenParty @SussexFriends They're Green Party members who are worried that IHRA definition removes their right to criticise Israel. It's an illogical position as the motion directly states that it is not Anti-Semitic to criticise Israel. But people are illogical sometimes - and then we have to debate.

I am offering that reassurance to our fellow Jewish community. We are working on bringing a policy of anti semitism to the Green Party - democracy just takes time. But we'll get there. #gpconf

@Nadira_ali12 Maybe don't venerate a paedophile or chase teachers into hiding or be vile intolerant thugs. Maybe condemn bad things and make islam more tolerant of others.

When Muslims die in mass, it's "war is ugly". When Muslims resist, it's "Islamist." When Muslims are bombed, it's "security." When Muslims fight back, it's "terror." That's how Z10NIST propaganda works. It trains you to see one side as human, and the other as a nuisance.

@TomSoede @mishtal So just against the only Jewish country existence? Well I guess that's ok then 🙄

@mishtal The Green Party doesn’t hate Jews ! It dislikes Zionism

The Green Party saw the rise of antisemitism in the UK and seized the moment. It placed itself as a party that hate Jews, hates British identity & sees our nations enemies as its friends. It is doing well in the polls because lots of Islamists will vote for it. Scary stuff.

Normally I wouldn’t criticise what feminist organisations do but in this case they appear to have dropped the idea of being a feminist organisation in favour of vacuous virtue signalling and vague statements about being against “bigotry” and “the far right” - despite that meaning marching alongside some extremely unsavoury groups including: - Islamists - Iranian regime supporters - Transgenderism advocates - homophobes and misogynists (granted that’s inherent in the above three) - antisemites And yes some very naive people who genuinely are against racism but are appallingly misinformed. I do hope *those* people have some time to reflect - rather like I did at the last pride march I attended where I thought “hmmm this is a bit… Nuremberg 👀” This “protest” wasn’t about any actual tangible threat at all. The actual “far right” in this country is weak and unsupported (thank god), because actual racism is in decline (good). What we’re seeing is people concerned about incompatible *values* and behaviours between different identity groups, and those concerns are valid. More than valid in fact. Yes some people are over generalising and some are going to be also racist but in the main people are not saying that brown skinned people are incompatible with our society, but that people who don’t share are values and want to impose theirs - are incompatible. And if organisations that claim to represent people continue to dismiss their concerns and pretend everything is “fine” and anyone objecting is a “far right bigot” then the “far right” may indeed see a resurgence in support. Marches like these aren’t grass roots opposition either. They are well funded by the (lunatic far left wing) establishment which is also making this critical error. And at this point I don’t think it’s even an “error”. I think it’s deliberate. It’s a power play to try to assert dominance and to shut people up about intolerable things happening to vulnerable people. This isn’t just marching alongside people you “disagree with”. It’s literally marching alongside your mortal enemies (and that’s not even hyperbole).

@jgrys3 @DuncanHenry78 @Martina @gracebrod1e Radical fence sitting. An obsessive compulsion to never have an opinion. Difficult for the terminally online one suspects.

@Seb_81_ @DuncanHenry78 @Martina @gracebrod1e Where is our desperately needed Radical Middle™?

Is the British left this stupid? I sure hope not… nothing is less progressive than guys like this

@Kiwipally Tax breaks for bilionaires?

Why are any of our countries still in the UN?

@NicholasTyrone Ours is not to reason why...

I don’t understand how you can march against the far-right while holding a flag of the Iranian theocracy, one of the world’s most repressive dictatorships.

@JeanHatchet Such good people, who think if you don't agree with them you are a fascist. Very tolerant bunch; as long as you agree with everything they say and do.

Just so you all know … if you were in that march today … you were owned by extremists.

@jgrys3 @DuncanHenry78 @Martina @gracebrod1e The two types of fascism, fascism and antifascism.

@DuncanHenry78 @Martina @gracebrod1e It amazes me how antisemitism resides at both ends of the horseshoe.

@chanwalrus @DuncanHenry78 @Martina @gracebrod1e No it's far worse than that, they think they are good people doing good work, while being awful intolerant bastards. Because, you see, any view against theirs is what bad people think, because they are 'good' people. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

@DuncanHenry78 @Martina @gracebrod1e They’re moronic sociopaths who hate without thought.

@TheVikingDane The winner is not coming from this group.

@melliellimelli @PronouncedHare This only applies if you have already died on the table, if your body gave up while being operated on, that's what resus is, bringing a dead body back to life. If your heart does not stop and you survive that's amazing. But resus is not that.

@melliellimelli @PronouncedHare pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC79… That's what the outcomes are. 30% success rate in hospital, getting worse with age.

When my grandmother was 99 she had a pacemaker fitted. They flew her to Wellington for the operation. Before they went the guy asked her if she wanted to be resuscitated. She said yes. The guy then asked her again, explaining that it can cause quite painful injuries. She was a completely capable woman of full mental capacity and said yes she understood and please resuscitate her if she needed it. He then asked her a third time, telling her that her quality of life might be different. At that point, my grandmother turned to my father and asked “What does he want me to say?” and Dad then intervened telling the now very defensive guy to knock it off. That kind of low level pressure happens in the health system every day.

@jgmaheo @PronouncedHare An hour of pain and suffering and more than an 80% chance of death do not seem like good odds to me. Even if you do survive you probably won't recover from that trauma. That's not slaughter it is choosing which death you want. I know what I'd choose.

@jgmaheo @PronouncedHare Choosing the path you take to death is sensible, I chose to have a DNR for my mum. There would have been no point and she was only 74. Outcomes.from resus in hospital on 80+ are bad and most die on the table.
