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 👏

@rawsalerts If Trump thinks firing Pam Bondi is going to be his get out of jail free card, then his ass is going to be in for a rude awakening. We're not forgetting this sh't. We know Bondi was covering for his ass. Trump will be held accountable. Bookmark it.

It’s time for Keir Starmer to pick a side. From protecting our right to peaceful protest, to getting us off dangerous fossil fuels, the UK can be the alternative to everything that’s wrong with Trump. act.gp/46qWAOI

⚠️PLEASE PLEASE RETWEET THE HELL OUT OF THIS KITTEN ABUSER
🚨 BEN MURKIN, ELY
⚠️KNOW HIS FACE⚠️
A sadistic animal abuser has avoided prison after inflicting catastrophic injuries on a kitten after throwing it at a wall, a door and down the stairs.
Ben Murkin, of Mill Lane, Fordham, Ely, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on March 6 to be sentenced in a prosecution brought forward by the RSPCA.
On March 6, 2024, a veterinary practice was contacted by a family member who said Murkin's cat Whisper had fallen and was struggling to breathe.
By the time they arrived at the practice with Whisper, the kitten had already passed away after being in immense pain and suffering.
Whisper's death was reported to the RSPCA after concerns about the injuries.
An independent post mortem found that Whisper had suffered injuries including a bruised head, a left eye haemorrhage, reddening and bruising of the tail area, and multiple injuries to limbs, consistent with a strong human grip.
Murkin claimed the injuries occurred when he was carrying out CPR.
The post mortem also found evidence of current and old rib fractures and a fracture on the lumber vertebrae.
He had also ignored advice from the bet to bring the cat back on two occasions.
These included after bringing in the kitten for limping after a supposed fall in December 2023 and in February 2024 after treatment for a fractured tooth and red gums.
Some of the specific acts of cruelty detailed in court included kicking Whisper against a wall, picking her up by the tail and throwing her down the stairs, and throwing Whisper against the door.
The expert vet concluded in their report: “It is my expert opinion that clearly Whisper suffered as a result of the injuries she sustained however they were caused.
She sustained multiple and severe injuries both to her lip and upper canine, to her ribs on the right hand side and then to her face, chest and abdomen in the final incident.
“All of these will have caused her to suffer pain and distress. The final set of injuries the duration of the suffering will only have lasted as long as she remained conscious which is likely to have been a short period of time.
“It is my expert opinion that the injuries sustained by Whisper were the result of deliberate and intentional trauma inflicted upon her by a person with the intention of her causing her serious harm and suffering.”
The court heard he got Whisper with his girlfriend as emotional support as he was lonely. When the relationship ended, he started to resent the cat. The judge described Murkin's actions as an "extraordinary response".
The judge noted this had been "astonishing cruelty to an animal" and said Murkin had committed other acts of physical violence on the cat.
The offence was placed in the highest category because the injuries were "prolonged and repeated, inflicted with significant force, and resulted in death".
Murkin had pleaded guilty to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to Whisper by inflicting trauma causing injury and for failing to provide prompt veterinary treatment, in respect of the injury to the cat’s gums and fractured canine tooth.
He was given a 22-month prison sentenced that has been suspended for 18 months.
He has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and 20 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days.
He has been banned for keeping all animals for life and was ordered to pay £500 court costs and £187 victim surcharge.
RSPCA Inspector Emily Astillberry said: "The actions in this case were of astonishing cruelty to a defenceless animal. It is heart-breaking to hear what Whisper - this small ragdoll kitten - had to endure such cruel and sustained suffering. She was still so young when she died and had to endure such pain and suffering during this short life.”
