@GBNEWS @MartinDaubney He's not showboating, he's prostituting himself on the world stage. He's auditioning for the role he always wanted, not the PM , that was always just a vehicle to get where he really wants to be, on the top table of a 'World government'

'Is Sir Keir Starmer more interested in showboating on the world stage than dealing with this mess on his doorstep?!' @MartinDaubney brands the small boat crisis a 'disaster' and if left unsolved will 'sink this government like it did the last'.

@BasilTheGreat This stain on the conscience of our nation will be ingrained forever, this is now what the United Kingdom will be remembered for, allowing a whole generation of young girls to be systematically brutalized by thousands of monsters.

@SeneddWaste The demographic of towns in Wales are already noticeably changing, being driven by the "nation of sanctuary" policy. A vote for Plaid will supercharge this policy.

Then spent sixty years hunting down everyone else's slave ships. 150,000 people freed by the Royal Navy. 🇬🇧 800,000 people freed by the British people.

Britain's Gifts To The World 🇬🇧 They taught you to be ashamed of this country. ⛓️ Here's what they left out. The steam engine. The telephone. The television. The world wide web. The computer you're reading this on. All of it Britain. Vaccination, given to the world for free. Over an estimated 200 million lives saved. 🇬🇧 Britain abolished the slave trad4e. Then spent sixty years on the open ocean making sure the rest of the world agreed. Over 800,000 people freed at once. Countless more saved from a life of slavery. The NHS. Free at the point of need. This is not a perfect country. No country is. But this is a country that looked at what was wrong with the world and tried to fix it. Repeatedly. For centuries. Britain's greatness didn't happen by accident. It happened because ordinary people worked together. That's what we're doing again. First it starts with us working together once more. Proud Of Us is a community of people who love Britain and want to help bring it back. Story by story. Name by name. If you want to be part of it: proudofus.co.uk/support 🇬🇧 Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

🇬🇧 Magna Carta had a twin. It was law for 754 years. You've never heard of it. After 1066, the Normans claimed the forests of England. Not just the trees... Villages, farmland, rivers. One third of the country. Land ordinary people had farmed for centuries. Taken. Hunt a deer to feed your family? They blinded you. Cut down a tree to heat your home? They took your hands. 1215. The barons forced King John to sign Magna Carta. The most famous document in English history. But Magna Carta was for the barons. Not for the people in the forests. Two years later. 1217. A second charter was sealed. The Charter of the Forest. This one was for everyone. The right to gather firewood. The right to graze your animals. The right to fish the streams. No more blinding. No more mutilation. For gathering wood. For the first time in English law, ordinary people had rights to the land. Not given by the king. Taken from him. 754 years. It was law until 1971. Every common in England. Every village green. Every right of way. The idea that land belongs to everyone... It started here. 🇬🇧 They taught you Magna Carta. They never taught you this. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

"No woman or maiden shall be forced to marry a man whom she dislikes." That's not a modern law. That was written in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 over a thousand years ago. Anglo-Saxon women had more legal rights than your great-grandmother. On the same island. A thousand years earlier. 🔑 She could own land. In her own name. Buy it. Sell it. Leave it to whoever she chose. No permission needed. Not from her husband. Not from her father. Not from anyone. She could run a business. She could stand in an open-air court, raise her hand in oath, and the law would hear her the same as any man. ⚖️ On the morning after her wedding, her husband owed her a gift. Land. Money. Property. It was called the Morgengifu, the morning gift. It wasn't symbolic. It was legally binding. And it was hers. Not jointly owned. Not held in trust. Hers. Through everything. 💍 A woman called Wynflaed owned seven estates across four counties, her will still survives. Cynethryth, wife of King Offa, struck coins bearing her own name and face. The only Anglo-Saxon queen known to have done it. The coins are still in museum collections. 🪙 Æthelflæd, Lady of the Mercians, built ten fortified towns and led armies in battle. In the tenth century. ⚔️ While most of Europe treated women as property, this island wrote their rights into law. 🇬🇧 Then the Normans came. 1066. And they took all of it away. Every. Single. Right. 🚫 A married woman's property became her husband's. She couldn't own land. Couldn't sign a contract. Couldn't keep her own wages. Under the doctrine of coverture, her legal identity was absorbed into his. Bracton wrote it plainly: "husband and wife are one person, being one flesh and one blood." In the eyes of the law, she didn't exist. For over eight hundred years. Let that satisfy. Eight. Hundred. Years. In 1882, the Married Women's Property Act gave a married woman the right to own property, keep her earnings, and exist as a separate legal person. 📜 But Britain didn't invent those rights in 1882. It restored them. Rights that Anglo-Saxon women had exercised a thousand years before. On the same island, under the same sky, in a language that became the one you're reading now. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 This island forgot once. We won't let it forget again. Happy Mother's Day ❤️ Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

@afneil BBC, ITV, Channel 4 the Labour Party, the Greens, the civil service, the education system, the police, the fire service, the judiciary, the list goes on, are all compromised. The UK in it's current form is now in a battle for survival, Christian based culture is being erased

630 people drowned in the Irish Sea in one night. ⛵💀 A British man studied the data afterwards. And invented something that every single person on earth uses every single day. On 25 October 1859 the Royal Charter was hit by a hurricane off Anglesey. 450 people died. That same storm destroyed 133 ships and killed nearly 800 people around Britain in a single night. Robert FitzRoy was head of Britain's Meteorological Office. He went through every piece of data from that night. And he realised something that stopped him cold. He could have predicted it. 🌊 So he built a network of 15 coastal weather stations around Britain, each one connected to London by telegraph. Every morning they wired their readings in. Pressure. Temperature. Wind direction. Cloud. He began to see patterns nobody had ever seen before. On 1 August 1861 The Times newspaper carried something completely new. A prediction of tomorrow's weather. FitzRoy called it a forecast. Not a prophecy. A calculation. 📰 He hoisted storm warning cones at every major British port. When the cones went up, fishing boats stayed in harbour. Lives were saved. How many? Nobody will ever know. Today every country on earth publishes a daily weather forecast. Every app on every phone. Every "chance of rain" anywhere on earth. The word forecast itself. All of it invented by a British man who decided we would be prepared next time. 🇬🇧 This history has no budget. No broadcaster. No institution behind it. Just the people who believe it deserves to exist. Support the channel: proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. ☝️ Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

The government’s big answer to sky-high fuel prices 🚀 An app that shows one local garage selling petrol at £1.55 a litre… and the other at £1.56 🤦🏼‍♂️ Truly world-class leadership. What a useless bunch of idiots 🎪

Parliament once called it the most brilliant invention ever produced. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 It was invented by a man who fixed potholes for a living. On a foggy night in Yorkshire. Because of a cat. Percy Shaw was born in Halifax in 1890. One of ten children. Left school at thirteen. Fixed roads for a living. One foggy night in 1934 he was driving home on a stretch of road he called the death drop. The fog was so thick he couldn’t see the edge. Then two points of light. A cat on a fence. Its eyes reflecting his headlights back through the fog. He didn’t drive off the edge. The next morning he started building. A glass bead in a rubber casing. Set into a cast iron base. When a car drove over it the rubber pressed down and rainwater washed the glass clean. He patented it in 1934. Nobody was interested. Then the war came. Britain switched off every streetlight in the country. The whole country went dark. Percy Shaw’s cat’s eyes were the only thing keeping people on the roads. Parliament called it the most brilliant invention ever produced in the interests of road safety. Orders came in at 40,000 a week. Percy Shaw became a millionaire. Kept living in his terraced house in Halifax. Removed the carpets. Kept four televisions on in the same room with the sound down. Every Friday friends came round with ale and crisps. OBE. 1965. A road mender from Halifax. Britain has never run out of extraordinary people. It just ran out of people willing to help tell their stories. This is where they gather. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

@Councillorsuzie What these planks don't realise is the increasingly rabid lurch to the hard left, is the very reason that the Labour party will be absolutely decimated in the next election...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Chapter Eight. The Man in Parliament. In 1787, the Prime Minister challenged William Wilberforce under an oak tree. Two words. End the slave trade. The first time he stood up to do it, he spoke for three and a half hours. Edmund Burke said he spoke like an angel. Parliament voted him down. He came back. Voted down again. He came back. In 1793 he lost by just eight votes. Members of Parliament deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side. He kept coming back. Admiral Nelson wrote against him. The entire sugar trade wanted him silenced. He was kept alive by daily doses of opium for a chronic illness. His eyesight was nearly gone. Eighteen years. Eight defeats. He stood up a ninth time. On the 23rd of February 1807, Parliament voted. 🇬🇧 283 to 16. The entire House of Commons rose to its feet. Wilberforce sat in his seat with tears streaming down his face. The slave trade was over. But slavery itself was not. Eight hundred thousand people were still in chains. He was not finished. Their individual stories are on our page. Our book is coming soon.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Chapter Seven. 300,000 People Stopped Eating Sugar. In 1791, Parliament rejected the abolition bill. Again. So three hundred thousand ordinary British people decided to fight without Parliament's permission. They stopped buying sugar. The first consumer boycott in history. Led almost entirely by women. 💪 Women who couldn't vote. Couldn't hold office. Couldn't sit in Parliament. They had one power. The household purse. Grocers reported sales dropping by a third. A pamphlet circulated in every kitchen in Britain. "A family that uses five pounds of sugar a week will prevent the slavery of one fellow creature." Five hundred and nineteen petitions reached Parliament in a single year. Three hundred thousand people. One moral choice. At their kitchen table. Parliament had said no. The people said it anyway. 🇬🇧 Their individual stories are on our page. Our book is coming soon. Help us make this possible. proudofus.co.uk/support Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

Everyone knows Britain was part of the slave trade. 🇬🇧 What you don't hear enough is who ended it. Slavery didn't start with Britain. It started over five thousand years ago. Africa's own slave trade ran for over a thousand years, before a single European ship arrived. The Arab world traded slaves for over thirteen centuries. Every empire in history was built on it. Nobody had ever ended it. Britain did. A law was passed. A date was set. August the first. Eighteen thirty-four. Eight hundred thousand people would be free. And when midnight came... They were all free. The largest act of emancipation in human history. A five-thousand-year-old system. Ended. Because the British people said so.
