@RichardTemplem2 @thomsonchris @J4m35c4mpb3ll Me too, for all the academic guff in his profile he can't debate.

@davidjdenton @thomsonchris @J4m35c4mpb3ll Funnily enough Christophe has blocked me from replying to this claptrap. He has colonised this thread!

Every year an estimated £200bn in wealth is extracted from Scotland - we receive £50bn back and are told we have a deficit & to be grateful. Colonialism has to stop.

@thomsonchris @RichardTemplem2 @J4m35c4mpb3ll Funnily enough it was a Scottish king who unified the kingdoms because Scotland's colonialism experiment didn't work and made you poor.

-Trade interception: the English coloniser has closed/destroyed/neglected Scottish ports forcing Scottish products to go through his ports + logistics control + this brings control of supply...same for airports, no national airline comparable to other countries -Resource theft: oil & gas, wind/electricity, water, etc. -Deliberate desindustrialisation like the closing of Grangemouth refinery to steal the value created there -Cultural theft: control of estates, festivals, tourism, state media production funds allocation with Scotland getting far less than what it pays, etc. The whole creative economy is infiltrated by collaborators/colonisers/intelligence operatives to control the discourse on Scotland and steal Scottish wealth based on its creativity and culture. Etc etc it's infinite since it's a colonial scheme. And then the English colonial state gives back a small grant saying Scottish is poor and needs it. This is what colonisers always do. Scotland has the largest resources overall in Europe and has superb economic potential but is poor compared to Norway, Ireland etc. + a powerful diaspora. It makes absolutely no sense economically unless you understand it's due to English colonialism.

@xavierjp__ Funny you call them Turkish, when most would have been greek before forced conversion.

As much as I enjoyed my time in Türkiye, exploring its rich history, being hosted by its hospitable people, tasting its lovely food and witnessing its amazing architecture As a Muslim, I have to be objective I was saddened to see so many graves within the boundaries of mosques. I visited suleimaniye mosque as part of my tour of Istanbul and upon entering was going to pray Tahiyyatul masjid, but right outside the window next to the mimbar you can see dozens and dozens of graves and mausoleums so big they could be mistaken for masajid themselves I was saddened to see practices in the masajid that are not upon the Quran and sunnah People hanging up 🧿 amulets in their shops or outside their flats believing it’ll keep them safe Others trying to sell key rings or plaques with ayaat written on them, stating that these talismans will protect us and ward off evil I was saddened that at night the masajid would be closed so you could not do itikaf overnight; but if you wanted to drink and dance with women, then bars/clubs were open And it was sad seeing how secularised and liberal many Turks have become Those who don’t fast Those who don’t pray Those who are what you would call “culturally Muslim” They are not a small minority, trading their Muslim heritage for western hedonism and values in the name of “progress” Allah’s aid is sought One particularly sad event I was in a famous mosque, Fajr prayer was done and the sun had not long risen, A few metres behind me, a woman removed her hijab whilst she was inside the mosque Note that this was outside of tourist visiting hours I assumed it was because she was adjusting it A few minutes go by and she’s still got her hair out. So I politely ask her to cover her hair A few more minutes go by and she’s still got her hair out, so I go to her and ask her again to cover her hair as this is a mosque and it’s about showing respect It is well known even amongst non Muslim tourists that women should cover their hair when visiting mosques But She gives me a dirty look, kisses her teeth in arrogance and (in Turkish) says “I know I know, you said it already” in a mocking tone The lack of respect was astounding Not for me Not even for herself But for Allah, IN A MOSQUE Was very sad to see Even some of the Turkish brothers I met in the mosques would lament the state of Islam and Muslims in the country May Allah guide the people and rulers of our nations, protect us from shirk and innovation and enable us to stand for and spread tawheed for Allah’s sake alone

@IghoThony @NoushardMUFC Alleged rapists don't get second chances here, anything sexually related does not get a second chance, this is British culture where violence against women is one of the worst sins to any moral British man, whether she chose to take him back does not change what he was capable of

@NoushardMUFC Taken. We, however, owe them zero apologies for our tendency to show empathy & give people second chances, which they selectively apply.

The difference between many UK-based fans and many African fans on the issue of MASON GREENWOOD potentially returning to Manchester United revealed a deeper divide in perspective. First, this needs to be clear: sexual assault and abuse are serious issues everywhere. No one should excuse or normalize them, and the concerns people raised when the allegations surfaced were completely understandable. But many African fans who spoke about reintegrating Greenwood were not doing so because they support abuse or violence against women. That interpretation misses an important part of the context. In many parts of Africa, a lot of people grow up witnessing extremely difficult realities — domestic conflicts, gender-based violence in communities, poverty, illness, and other forms of hardship. Many people have seen situations where families deal with serious issues privately, reconcile, and continue life together. It doesn’t mean the actions were right; it means people often view resolution and moving forward differently. In Greenwood’s case, the two people involved later reconciled, remained together, started a family, and got married. For many African fans, that outcome shaped how they viewed the situation. To them, it looked like a private matter that the individuals involved had chosen to resolve. For many UK fans, however, the perspective was very different. The seriousness of the allegations and the evidence that circulated made it feel impossible to separate the player from the accusations, regardless of what happened later. Both reactions largely come from the environments people grew up in and the values shaped by those experiences. This isn’t about saying one side cares about abuse and the other doesn’t. It’s about understanding that people interpret situations through different social realities. Football debates often become hostile, but sometimes the divide isn’t hatred — it’s perspective.

@rocourt62 @SjBarrister @Artemisfornow You resorted to whataboutism instantly, your take from the scandal is viewed as why are you making noise about this.

@SjBarrister @Artemisfornow One wonders the intelligence of a person who conflates criticism with hate . You’re either ignorant or stupid or both .

Er … it was a good day for Starmer to bury bad news wasn’t it? not just one bit of bad news …but 3 ! ▪️Josh Simons – Resigned as a Cabinet Office minister over his past role at Labour Together, alleged to have spied on journalists ▪️Joe Docherty – Newly appointed Labour peer suspended after alleged undisclosed inappropriate conduct from his college CEO days emerged. ▪️Ann Limb – New peer unable to take her seat after admitting she had made up having a PhD. Everything is fine.

@jakmak1943 @UnityNewsNet There is nothing about Rachel Reeves to commend, the money that is being squandered by this govt and previous is outrageous. No commendation for any of the political establishment, they're a set of incompetent charlatans.

@UnityNewsNet Our financial situation is so bleak we should only be spending on absolutely necessary things. For once I commend Reeves for doing what the Treasury job is , making hard choices.

Rachel Reeves has refused to sign off on a long-delayed £1bn military helicopters contract, in a shock move expected to put thousands of British jobs at risk. Treasury officials are understood to have made clear in a call with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Friday that they would not approve funding for the £1bn new medium helicopters (NMH) programme until the MoD’s wider equipment plan was settled.

@Rosetti83700607 @Artemisfornow Boom boom!

@Artemisfornow Russia bombed the pipeline.

The President of Slovakia is furious. After hosting 180,000 Ukrainians, this is the 2nd time Ukraine has cut oil supplies, costing Slovakia €500 million. Slovakia says Ukraine is stalling for political reasons & if the oil doesn’t flow by Monday he’ll cut electricity to Ukraine.

@FelonSkunk37088 @FeldsparElodie @newstart_2024 Is throwing a net hunting or gathering? North Sentinel Island is definitely in the stone age, the Amazon tribes aren't out there smelting iron ore, actual predatorial hunting is done by males in all tribes, fishing is not hunting.

@davidjdenton @FeldsparElodie @newstart_2024 There are very few primitive tribes left in the world and NONE live in the Stone Age. However, even there it is untrue. African Pygmys & many Amazon tribes have women hunters. Female Pygmys in fact do most of the hunting, by nets. Females provide many/most calories to tribes.

Dr. Erica Komisar just said what many parents whisper but few say out loud: Modern schools are built for girls, not boys—and we’re paying a steep price. Little boys (ages 3–6) surge with testosterone. They need to run, jump, play, burn energy. Instead, we sit them in circle time, demand emotional regulation, and label normal boy behavior as ADHD or “behavioral problems.” Result? Marginalized, stressed, diagnosed early, and tracked that way through school. Her fix if she ran the world: Separate boys and girls in the early years. Boys get multiple recess periods, short focused bursts, and space to move. Girls get a calmer environment where they feel safe taking STEM/math risks. Both thrive when not forced into the opposite gender’s learning style. Single-gender early education: Boys try art/music without teasing. Girls try science without self-consciousness. Evidence already shows it works. Parents/teachers: Do you see boys struggling more in today’s classrooms—or is this overblown? What’s one change you’d make to education for boys right now?

@FelonSkunk37088 @FeldsparElodie @newstart_2024 Funnily enough we can just look at stone age tribes in the modern era and see that is false, women aren't taken on hunts in isolated tribes, always the men.

@FeldsparElodie @newstart_2024 This is the fairy tale you tell yourself. Anthropology tells us that women were hunters as well as gatherers. Little girls didn't sit around cooking & gossiping with the girls. Stop getting your knowledge of prehistory from the Flintstones, dummy.

@OmarAlleyne It just isn't popular in the UK, if it isn't popular it gets less money for production value, not gonna change unless population demographics flip.

Carragher and the like are gatekeepers though. It's why AFCON gets shoved away on the Channel 4 app, matches have zero build up or post-match analysis until the QF's & single commentator matches are normal. Detractors need to be publicly rubbished for adequate investment..

@dom_lucre Fucking fraud

🔥🚨BREAKING: I need everyone that lives in Miami to send me footage of the UFOs that are being spotted in the city. I will post it for the world to see. This is crazy

@MehulPopat4 @AnyzZdenek @FiveHeadClub @BowTiedRanger You are butchering my language, I caused nothing to you or your people, I have nothing to apologise for.

@davidjdenton @AnyzZdenek @FiveHeadClub @BowTiedRanger this shows you don't have answer on what I said Atleast Germans have guts to apologise for what they did to Jews. Britishers should be apologised for their genocide in India. Btw you need NATO's cover to protect yourself but we are capable ourselves Without USA you will be orphan

Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 years old why if India has so much intellectual talent it’s still such a third-world shithole

@MehulPopat4 @AnyzZdenek @FiveHeadClub @BowTiedRanger Blablabla

@davidjdenton @AnyzZdenek @FiveHeadClub @BowTiedRanger Now UK economy is declining bcz you can't loot other countries like you did earlier. India's growth was/is not by looting others. Read about Bengal famine by Britishers. You should be ashamed for killing innocent people. But instead you talk on human rights. what a hypocrisy

@MehulPopat4 @AnyzZdenek @FiveHeadClub @BowTiedRanger Prove the looting, you act like India is drained. Stop blaming the Brits and look where you are and what you are known for on the world stage.

@AnyzZdenek @FiveHeadClub @BowTiedRanger History is the point to remember so it doesn't repeat. That's why I mentioned about Britishers loot as we don't want it to be repeated but you took it as blame. As other countries we also have our own problems & we are dealing and improving it but generalizing each Indian is bad.

@lamatthews Search Greenwood on here from around the allegations and you will find many supporting him at that time, mainly African fans but the same as those you have quoted.

Arsenal fans being completely normal. The way our fanbase ran Greenwood out of this club makes me so proud of who we are and what we stand for. Meanwhile in North London…👇

@SirJBritain @IdrisAOni1 He gives the vibes of having bought his degree.

@IdrisAOni1 Nah you’re right. We SHOULD move past things that have happened in history and shouldn’t punish normal modern day people for what their ancestors and their governments did.

Me when I see random groups of Africans and Muslims walking about in parts of the UK they have absolutely no business being in.

@MBellazain @IlltakeACookie @grok @ZezzyOnX @lavern_spicer Wrong country, the moors were Spain.

They ddint teach you this in school.

@JohnJJC5 @NJ_Timothy Deflecting from the main point, is it right wing to point out lies or hypocrisy now?

@NJ_Timothy A couple of paces, ironically to the left, and you'll be home from home with Fartidge & Dubai Dick.

A minister recently spoke at an iftar organised by the European Islamic Centre, connected to Jamaat e Islaami and Abu Ala Maududi. This follows another minister attending the MCB annual dinner and the PM welcoming an imam who celebrated October 7th into No10. My question today:

@Mericamemed @ellelond Clearly satire

@Michell06017336 Barring Hungary which is included under the EU

@Michell06017336 The US has sanctions on each of those countries you mentioned, they set those sanctions so of course they don't have anything they trade for officially.

Why did Trump exclude Russia, North Korea, Hungary, Maldovia & other Putin controlled countries off his tariff hit list but he included the unpopulated Heard Island & McDonald Islands where the only life are penguins? #TrumpisaRussianAsset #Trump #TrumpTariffs #stockmarketcrash
