AN OPEN LETTER TO LEWIS HAMILTON Mr Hamilton, You have recently spoken about Britain’s past and suggested that the country should consider returning land in Africa as some form of historical reckoning. Before making such sweeping statements, it might be worth revisiting the full history — not just the fashionable fragments that circulate on social media. Slavery was not invented by Britain. It existed for millennia across the ancient world — in empires from Rome to the Middle East and Africa. By the time Britain emerged as a maritime power, slave trading networks already stretched across continents. The Atlantic trade itself involved multiple participants. African rulers and traders captured and sold prisoners to European merchants on the coast. It was an ugly system, but it was also an international one. What is often omitted from modern lectures about history is that Britain became the first major power to turn against the trade. Parliament passed the 1807 Act abolishing the slave trade, and the Royal Navy then spent decades enforcing that decision. The West Africa Squadron patrolled thousands of miles of coastline. Sailors died from disease and from gunfire while intercepting slave ships. In doing so they liberated tens of thousands of people who would otherwise have been carried into bondage. Many of those liberated Africans were settled in Sierra Leone. The capital was named Freetown for a reason. There are also chapters rarely mentioned today. When Napoleon restored slavery in French territories after it had been abolished, it was British power that ultimately helped end those systems again. There is also the matter of the enormous compensation loan taken by the British state when slavery was abolished across the empire — a debt British taxpayers continued servicing for generations. None of this erases the suffering of those enslaved. But it does mean the story is far more complex than the simple narrative often presented today. So before condemning Britain wholesale, perhaps a moment might be taken to acknowledge the sailors who fought the slave traders and the role Britain played in shutting down the Atlantic system. A fitting tribute would be support for a memorial to those men who served and died enforcing abolition. History deserves honesty — not slogans. Yours sincerely Stan Robinson Voice of Wales @VoWalesWren @alanlester #SouthAfricaSquadron #RoyalNavy #VoiceOfWales

We need to stop caring what the Pakistani Government thinks. If they refuse to take back their rapists? Fine. Foreign aid, gone. Diplomatic ties, cut. Remittances, taxed. Tariffs, enforced. Visas, suspended. We have the leverage. Use it, swiftly and brutally.

@Keir_Starmer BULLSHIT! Your number one priority is the *Muslim vote*. You couldn't care less about the British people. You have made that VERY clear. You're the most dangerous prime minister in history and you should be arrested for treason. Resign. You vile man.

"Keir Starmer humiliated as Macron rushes in French warships to defend British bases" It's so bad for the UK under this pathetic/sinister (?) PM that the French are having to defend us. Starmer should be gone by the end of the day. He's a threat to us all. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

JUST WONDERING HOW MOMS are supposed to work 9-5, drop the kids off at school at 8 AM, pick them up by 3 PM, stay on top of school activities, meal prep, cook dinner, keep the house clean, do the laundry, run the kids to extracurricular activities, climb the corporate ladder, save sick days for when the kids are sick, be a good friend, daughter, and partner, all while trying to take care of their own body and mental health…

Does anyone else agree that Politicians don’t deserve a 5% pay increase when they are the ones that have caused everyone else to tighten their belts? They also get expenses on top of their wages.
