I think India needs to pay reparations for historic slave trading… @NigelBiggar How earthquakes, disease and war shaped Bengal’s slave trade thedailystar.net/slow-reads/foc…

@KemiBadenoch And I don't want hear about #reparations for the transatlantic #slave_trade which was ended by Britain 200 years ago. Instead, I want to hear about Britain & Africa working in partnership to promote fair trade and stem cell as well AI technologies for the common good @NigelBiggar

As long as Reform are going to lecture us about splitting the vote lets not forget that according to their logic they are responsible for us having a Labour government in the first place.

SHOCKING details read out by father Mark Nowak regarding the murder of his son Henry. - As blood filled his chest, Henry Nowak tried desperately to escape. Instead, he was chased and subjected to further abuse. - When police arrived, Henry was lying on the ground, unable to sit up and clearly suffering severe medical distress. - With his final words, he told officers nine times that he could not breathe. - He also repeatedly told them that he had been stabbed four times. - One officer responded: “I don’t think you have, mate.” - Police later claimed they had been misled by the murderer. - Henry’s father, Mark Nowak, believes the truth is far simpler. - Both Henry and a member of the public who called 999 told police that Henry had been stabbed. - Despite these warnings, officers failed to believe them. - Henry was dragged across gravel and placed in handcuffs. - Police arrested Henry for assault and read him his rights. According to his father, those were the last words Henry heard before he died. - Mark Nowak says his son was denied even the dignity of a proper death. - Henry should never have died on the streets of Southampton while in police custody. - Meanwhile, his killer, Vikram Digwa, was afforded a level of decency that Henry was not. Reports suggest he was not even handcuffed when arrested. - Officers reportedly took Digwa to the kitchen and allowed him to choose his own food.

The ghastly events as Henry Nowak bled to death could not have happened without decades of society-level brainwashing. The overriding ideology is that whites are to be blamed and minorities put on a pedestal.

🇬🇧 On a Berkshire hillside there is a chalk horse 3,000 years old. 100 generations of British people have refused to let it fade. Its name is the Uffington White Horse. It sits on the chalk of the Berkshire Downs. And it was cut around 1,000 BC by Britons of the Late Bronze Age. They cut a trench into the turf. And filled it with crushed chalk. They cut a horse 110 metres long. Visible from miles. Chalk hillside art does not last. Grass grows. Silt fills. Without care, a chalk figure disappears within a generation. 🏔️ The Uffington White Horse should have vanished by the Iron Age. It did not. Because every generation that has lived near it has scoured it. Cleared the grass. Refilled the chalk. Kept the design alive. The Iron Age tended it. Rome tended it. The Anglo-Saxons named the hill after it. A Welsh poem of 600 AD mentioned it as already ancient. Medieval villagers held a festival to scour it. Victorian villagers wrote songs about it. And every year, modern volunteers continue. 3,000 years of British people. Bronze Age carvers. Iron Age tribes. Roman Britons. Anglo-Saxon farmers. Medieval villagers. Victorian families. And the British still here today. The carvers who cut the horse became Britons. Their descendants became the British. 100 generations have tended the same horse. 100 generations have refused to let it fade. The horse is alive because the people have stayed. This is what continuity looks like. Not a memory. Not a museum. A horse kept alive by hand. 🇬🇧 If you want to know whether the British are still here, look up. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The chalk has been re-cut by hand for 3,000 years. Most British kids have never been up the hill. Our work is made in Britain, for Britain. Take your kids up the hill. 🙏 👉 proudofus.co.uk/support 👈 Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

* Warning - this excellent piece in The @guardian will be distressing for some * What it makes clear is that First Cousin Marriage and its defenders are not defending family, freedom or faith faith They’re defending ultra-misogynist oppression & cultural practices that should have no place in any country and certainly shouldn’t be allowed in the UK today 👇👇👇 theguardian.com/global-develop…

To say I am upset & bewildered that the leader of my party @EdwardJDavey - who last year said ‘we’ - the @libdems - ‘entirely accept’ the SC judgment - has now put his name to this nonsense is the understatement of the year. Totally contradictory. Massively disappointing.

Sturgeon's tyrannical intolerance of any SNP member who dared step out of line was unsparing. Now this whopper of a lie👇 Has John Swinney got the backbone to suspend her pending a necessary and full inquiry?

Delighted to announce that at our Natural Law and War conference on 18 and 19 June we'll have a keynote lecture from the Rev'd Prof Nigel Biggar (@NigelBiggar) titled: ‘Just War: How Christian Is It?’

Labour's justice minister has told Parliament: 1. "There are no sharia law courts." 2. "The Government has no plans to regulate... sharia law courts." 3. "Sharia law... is part of religious tolerance which is an important British value." Which is it?

UK government national debt 1975-2026: (£billion): 1975 £59 billion 1980 £114 billion 1985 £169 billion 1990 £190 billion 1995 £384 billion 2000 £415 billion 2005 £573 billion 2008 £810 billion 2010 £1,220 billion 2015 £1,570 billion 2019 £1,800 billion 2021 £2,224 billion 2023 £2,619 billion 2026 £2,900 billion An increase of almost £2.5 trillion in just 20 years. A tale of gross economic incompetence by successive UK governments to a point where interest payments on the national debt are now over £100 billion a year - funded by the taxpayer.

Colonial-era museums in India: tools of imperial control or institutions that preserved and revealed India’s cultural heritage? Muhammad Nishat Hussain argues that museums centralised artefacts and reshaped historical narratives through a colonial framework, while R. P. Fernando responds by highlighting the continued importance and commemoration of these museums in India today.

If civil servants have never dared to say these things then they have been cowards. The civil service’s job is to speak truth to power. Their job is to be guardians of the public finances. Instead they and the political class have allowed ourselves to get to a place where 1m youngsters have never learned the dignity of work, the economy is £125 billion a year worse off and we are fast heading to a full blown fiscal crisis

How are Judaeo-Christian British values supposed to be upheld in Bradford when every police scrutiny panel is chaired by a Muslim man? How is that impartial? Where does that leave white women and girls? It’s outrageous. @WestYorksPolice

Peril, Nicola, is what happens when you brand lifelong feminist & lesbian activists transphobes & bigots & refuse to condemn the abuse & threats that follow even to the extent of ignoring threats of rape against one of your own MPs from a party member. heraldscotland.com/news/26151156.…
