🚨 WTF! Lenny Henry demands Britain cough up £18 trillion in reparations, insisting “All Black British people deserve it for slavery.” This ignores Britain’s historic stand: abolishing the slave trade in 1807 and unleashing the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron, which seized 1,600 ships and freed 150,000 Africans at massive cost in blood and treasure. Yet today, per the Global Slavery Index, Eritrea, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Jamaica (Henry’s parental homeland) still suffer shocking levels of modern slavery. Billing today’s British taxpayers for 200-year-old sins while turning a blind eye to ongoing African and Caribbean horrors? Pure selective outrage and hypocrisy. Focus on ending slavery now, not chasing guilt cheques. Maybe the comedian should stick to jokes instead of peddling selective history.


Putin wanted to show “strength” but only confirmed his weakness. Overnight, Russia carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks on Kyiv with around 600 drones, many dozens of ballistic, air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, and a dummy IRBM. Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack. As of now, at least two civilian people have been reported killed and many dozens injured. These numbers may grow. Many residential buildings have been damaged. Unable to achieve any results on the battlefield, Putin turns to terror against civilians. This strike was probably meant to demonstrate “strength” to the domestic audience, but instead it only confirms Putin’s weakness. Even Russians see that he is a loser. His “special operation” is not achieving any results. Losses are enormous, but there is not a single achieved goal. Except that there are no safe places in Russia any more, as Ukraine ramps up its special long-range sanctions. To our allies, I want to say this: it is time to double down, not back down, in supporting Ukraine and increasing pressure on the Russian regime. We call for additional defense capabilities, including to protect our sky; investment in our defense industry; increased pressure on Russia, including entry ban for Russian combatants, full use of frozen assets; strong political decisions with regard to Ukraine’s EU accession and other steps. The world has the leverage. It needs to be used right — to show Moscow that such strikes will not bring any results — and force Russia to end this war.







I drove past MacArthur Park this morning. The south-facing side of the park continues to be a heartbreaking open-air drug market. At what point does a society step in and save people from themselves?



Rachel Reeves is poised to introduce a 22pc charge on interest earned from cash held in a stocks and shares Isa, under reforms to take effect next April… It’s sooooo over! LABOUR OUT NOWWW!🤬


🇬🇧 Henry Nowak was stabbed 5 times and died at 18. Police showed up, and handcuffed the victim instead. Why? The suspect claimed racial abuse and denied the knife. The bodycam footage is damning… Justice for Henry. Source: @IntCyberDigest

Nationalise Morrisons, use it as the foundation for a new, publicly-owned grocery store selling high quality, affordable food. National-level version of the Mamdani plan in New York. Need to think big in a world with repeated, major shocks to essential supply systems.

French police are now refusing to tackle boats leaving their shores because ARMED MEN are guarding them. This is a military-style operation against us so it’s time to use the military against them. There cannot be any more excuses.

@Mookafish No burn-throughs. Shield held.
