I find this offensive
Where should I complain ?

Some schools in Germany will not have music lessons because they don't want to offend sensibilities of Muslims, who consider music a grave sin. It sounds like a joke but it's not.

My friend tried to withdraw £20k from his high street bank & their response was shocking
For 30 years he’s has been a loyal customer of this major bank
He called to withdraw the money & they said no, you have to come into the branch
He went into the branch & asked asked to withdraw the £20k and they asked 'what it’s for'?
He said ’none of your business, it’s my money’
They said ‘unless you can tell us exactly what the money is for, you cannot withdraw it'
This should shock & terrify you, because your own money isn’t even yours anymore

🏴🇬🇧 1829. Five machines. One mile of track.
The world was never the same. 🚂
In October 1829 the Liverpool and Manchester Railway held a competition. The world's first inter-city passenger railway was nearly built. Nobody knew what should pull the trains.
The directors wanted stationary engines fixed to the ground. Hauling carriages with cables.
George Stephenson disagreed. The directors said: prove it.
A £500 prize. One mile of level track. Rainhill, Lancashire.
Ten entered. Five showed up.
One was powered by a horse. 🐴
The crowd favourite was the Novelty. Small, elegant, built in London. Never tested on a real railway before the day.
Then there was Sans Pareil. Heavy, dark, powerful. Built in Shildon, County Durham.
And the Rocket. Built in Newcastle by Robert Stephenson. George's 26-year-old son. Quietly confident.
The Novelty went first. The crowd erupted. Then its boiler joints failed. Then failed again.
Sans Pareil ran powerfully. Then its cylinder cracked.
The Rocket kept running. Day after day. Run after run. Hauling thirteen tons.
Then on the morning of the 8th of October they uncoupled the load.
And the Rocket ran free.
Thirty-two miles an hour. 🚂
The crowd had never seen anything move that fast.
The Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials. £500 prize. And the contract to build every locomotive for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
One year later the railway opened. A Member of Parliament stepped onto the track. William Huskisson, the railway's most passionate supporter, became the world's first railway fatality.
The railway opened anyway. History doesn't pause.
The Rocket became the template for every steam locomotive built for 150 years. Within twenty years Britain had six thousand miles of railway.
It started in a field in Lancashire. With one family from Newcastle who believed a locomotive could win.
Did you know this story? 🏴🇬🇧
Nobody thought a locomotive could do it.
One family from Newcastle proved them wrong.

🏴🇬🇧 In 1921, thirty elected councillors walked calmly into a prison.
They chose to be there.
They did it to protect the poorest people in Britain.
Do you know their names?
Poplar. East London. One of the poorest boroughs in the country. 🏚️
High unemployment. Hunger. And a tax system designed to make it worse.
Poor boroughs like Poplar had to collect taxes not just for themselves but for London-wide authorities, the Metropolitan Police, the Asylums Board, the Water Board. ⚖️
The rich boroughs paid a low rate. Poplar paid a high rate. And got nothing back.
In March 1921, the Labour council, led by former mayor George Lansbury, decided to stop collecting those taxes. They'd use the money to feed the poor instead. 🥣
The High Court ordered them to pay.
They refused.
On the 29th of July, thirty councillors marched through the streets of Poplar with 2,000 supporters, led by the official mace-bearer, to the sound of a brass band. 🎺
Their banner read:
"Poplar Borough Council, marching to the High Court and possibly to prison."
They weren't possibly going to prison.
They were going to prison. ⛓️
Thirty councillors. Twenty-five men to Brixton. Five women to Holloway. One of them was pregnant.
One of the women was Minnie Lansbury. She was 32. She developed pneumonia in prison. She died two months after her release. She was still 32.
They held council meetings inside the prison. The women were brought from Holloway to Brixton by taxi. George Lansbury addressed thousands of supporters from his cell window. 🏴
After six weeks, the court ordered their release. Parliament rushed through a new law. The tax burden between rich and poor boroughs was equalised.
Thirty ordinary people went to prison. And changed the law. 🇬🇧
Did they teach you their names?
Thirty people went to prison so that others would be treated fairly.
Nobody remembered them.
Every time you support this channel,
more of them survive.

Just a 1 minute clip in a room full of hundreds of Tories asking then if they had ever heard of @RestoreBritain

Lies lies lies, they said what they thought we wanted to hear and very many voted for them. Never again vote for #Labour!
Kevin Edger@KEdge23
Hands up if you’ve had your council tax bill for the next year and it’s going up! 🙌🏼 Mine wasn’t frozen, it’s gone up. Labour lied to get into power. “Labour would freeze your council tax” “Not a penny more on your council tax” “No ifs, no buts” Lies, lies, and more lies.

🏴🇬🇧 There is something in most kitchens around the world. 🫖
You have probably used one today.
A Scottish scientist invented it in London in 1892.
And almost nobody knows who he was.
His name was James Dewar. 🏴
Born in Kincardine, Scotland. 1842. Chemist. Physicist. One of the finest scientific minds Britain had ever produced.
🏅 Nominated for the Nobel Prize eight times. ❌ Never won.
In 1892 he was trying to store liquid hydrogen. Not make a flask for your tea. ☕
He built a vessel with two glass walls and pumped the air out of the gap between them.
A vacuum. No air. No heat transfer. ❄️
It worked perfectly. ✅
He didn't patent it.
He just didn't. He was a scientist. Not a businessman. The science was enough.
A German glassblower named Reinhold Burger had been watching. 👀
He took the design. Made it sturdier. Patented it. Named it Thermos. In 1904 it went on sale. It made a fortune. 💰
Dewar sued. ⚖️
The court agreed he was the inventor.
But because he hadn't patented it there was nothing they could do.
He got nothing.
The word Thermos eventually became so common it lost its trademark entirely. Just a word now. For something a Scottish scientist invented in a London laboratory. 🏴🇬🇧
Every flask you've ever owned. Every cup of tea kept warm on a cold morning. ☕ Every building site. Every school trip. Every football pitch. ⚽
James Dewar.
Did they teach you his name? 🇬🇧
