John Amaechi, "The question is provocative" #BBCQT

Lady in red, "Is it fair people in poverty in Liverpool today are being asked to pay reparations for historical injustices they played no part in?"

John Amaechi, "Do we want poor people anywhere to have to pay more? No"

"The British 'we' is so intriguing to me. We are proud of our maritime history.. We become a little bit more callow when we discuss what was in the holds of the ships"

"We become more circumspect when all of a sudden people are saying: extracting wealth form people at any stage will have an impact on them in every stage"

"This is not about guilt. Is there a conscientious way we can consider that wrongs done in the name of the thing we currently have, that we may consider those"

Fiona Bruce, "Should we be paying reparations?"

John Amaechi, "There are sensible ways to consider, whether it be tax relief, or debt relief"

"Because 2015 was when the gilt was finally paid off, that was used to pay the slave owners off"

My view:

Britain paid £20 million in compensation to slave owners between 1835 and 1843, around 40% of annual government spending at the time.

Historic England estimates its modern equivalent at approximately £16.5 billion.

The enslaved received no compensation.

Generations of taxpayers serviced the borrowing used to compensate their owners, with the associated government bonds finally redeemed in 2015.

Putting poor people in Liverpool on one side of this debate, and poor people in countries affected by slavery on the other, creates a choice we do not have to accept. Neither should have to bear the cost of injustices that enriched others.

Nobody inherits personal guilt. But wealth, land, assets and advantages can pass down through generations.

If institutions continue to benefit from wealth accumulated through exploitation, it is reasonable to ask what responsibility comes with that inheritance.

Reparations could mean those institutions helping fund hospitals, schools, clean water systems and other infrastructure in affected countries.

They could include debt relief, scholarships and investment directed by the communities concerned.

A serious conversation would ask who benefited, who should contribute and what would make a lasting difference.

Concern for people struggling in Britain should help shape those answers, rather than close the discussion.

I’m FURIOUS

When I provide it, he gets all stroppy

You know what @TheSlyStallone? Your loss. Arseshire is lovely at this time of year!

Never let him tell you that he cares about protecting women.

@fesshole Do you have a family for each different day of the week?

[Iron Faith @IronFaith_One]

Dear Lucy Connolly,

A grieving family deserves compassion, dignity and justice. On that, there should be no disagreement.

But since you have chosen to lecture others about humanity, offensive language and moral responsibility, perhaps we should examine your own public record.

Following the horrific murder of three children in Southport, when grieving families needed compassion and the country desperately needed calm, you published a message calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire.

You pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred. You received a 31-month prison sentence. The Court of Appeal rejected your challenge to that sentence.

These are not malicious allegations or differences of political opinion. They are established facts.

You now describe a broadcaster’s comments as “beyond offensive”, demand that he be removed from the air and invoke the distress his words might cause.

Yet you have repeatedly defended your own right to express views that resulted in a criminal conviction.

You are entitled to criticise James O’Brien. You are entitled to disagree with his analysis of racism in policing.

But freedom of expression cannot mean unlimited protection for your own words and professional consequences for everyone else’s.

Nor does genuine concern for grieving families confer immunity from scrutiny of your own conduct.

Compassion should be a principle, not a weapon deployed selectively against people you dislike.

And moral authority is not something you acquire merely by writing an indignant open letter.

It is demonstrated through consistency, accountability and an appreciation of the consequences of one’s own words.

Perhaps those are better standards by which to judge this exchange than who can express the greatest contempt.

Islington Libraries has seen in the last 2 years % increases in all its performance indicators and a Senior Officer has stated that “it’s not a failing service” so our message to the Council is invest and support.

Hi Councillor Chris Hudson (@cllr_hudson), of @suffolkcc and @ReformUKSuffolk, bit creepy isn’t this?

Posting this sort of thing on your official Councillor account too, whilst being a Reform UK Councillor. 👀

They are both obviously distressed & appear to be confused as well.
The care home they belong to should feel ashamed for putting these two vulnerable residents in such a terrible situation.😡

[GET A GRIP @docrussjackson]

Then came the change of subject. Rupert Lowe claimed “He was right on the rape gangs. The state was wrong. They want to vilify him for that.” But the trial had nothing to do with rape gangs, and the judge had told the jury in terms that Robinson’s politics were not on trial.

What was on trial was a campaign of messages and posts that left two journalists fearing for their families. When the facts of a case are unhelpful, the oldest move in the book is to change the case.

There is also a personal stake. Robinson gave evidence to Lowe’s own Rape Gang Inquiry, and Lowe says it “contributed massively to our findings”. Defending Robinson’s standing is, in part, defending the standing of his own report.

Why would a politician abandon so publicly a principle he championed so loudly? The answer lies in who he is speaking to. Lowe himself has said that, while in Reform, he was told not to praise Robinson publicly and did so anyway. That is a pitch, and it has an obvious audience. Robinson has more than two million followers on @X, and Restore Britain is competing with Reform for much of the same ground.

Nigel Farage handles that audience differently. Asked on the day of the verdict whether he was happy for Reform members to support Robinson, he mocked the question as a demand to “brainwash” and “indoctrinate” members, suggested that liking a post doesn’t make someone a “full-blown marcher”, and only then called the conduct “very wrong”, with the caveat that he hadn’t heard about the verdict.

Farage keeps Robinson outside the door while taking care not to offend those who admire him. Lowe opens the door and offers them the warmth Farage won’t.

Both men are courting the same supporters.

In November 2025, Lowe signed his name to the proposition that a jury’s verdict deserves acceptance even when it is unpopular. In October 2026, a jury reached a verdict that was unpopular with the audience he is trying to win, and he rejected it within hours.

A principle that holds only until the verdict goes the wrong way was never much of a principle.

[Felicity Campbell @feli_campbell]

After yesterday’s post about the Russell Brand trial, my inbox was flooded with people claiming this is all just a coordinated media conspiracy.

Well, I hope those same people actually read what came out of Southwark Crown Court today, because Brand took the witness stand and completely shredded his own defense.

Under cross-examination, he openly admitted to "inconsistencies" in his evidence, awkwardly asking the prosecution for forgiveness.

Even more damning, his own barrister asked him if a single friend or colleague from twenty-five years in showbusiness was willing to stand up in that courtroom and speak for his character.

His answer was no. Not a single person would touch him with a barge pole. Think about what that actually means. Decades surrounded by entourages, agents, and industry friends, and not one human being is willing to take an oath on his behalf.

Then look at how he described women to the jury today.

He admitted saving a complainant’s name in his phone labeled with a degrading slur and a sexual act. When asked if a woman expressed reluctance to an encounter, he casually dismissed her hesitation as "coquettishness and coyness."

This is not a misunderstood free-thinker being silenced for his politics. This is an arrogant narcissist who used celebrity status to treat women like disposable commodities, and is now watching his carefully rehearsed narrative crumble under basic legal scrutiny.

Stop falling for the staged internet guru act. The admissions coming out of his own mouth in that courtroom tell you everything you need to know.

“Let this sink in”? Let what sink in? How fucking thick you are?

The 2005 receipt doesn’t add up. The items total £4.93, not £5.67. The 2026 items total £21.90, not £20.90. Both receipts charge VAT on basic groceries. Food is zero-rated. The 2005 receipt even uses a London telephone code that was abolished in 1995!

The picture suggests food prices have risen by 344%, when official ONS figures show food inflation of around 100% since 2005. In other words, it’s complete made up shite.

But here’s the thing. You support a party whose leaders have suggested cutting minimum wages for younger workers.

Meanwhile, Tesco chief executive Ken Murphy received £10.84 MILLION in total remuneration in 2025/26, up from £9.76 million the previous year. That’s an increase of £1.08 million, or 11%, in a single year.

Funny how it’s always the pay rises of people struggling to afford their shopping that upset you, never the millions being handed to those at the very top . Idiot .

Hi @andreajenkyns, why did you delete the video of yourself with Paolo Zampoli talking about how you had just had lunch together?

Is it because you realised the House Judiciary Committee investigation stated he was “an active participant” in Jeffery Epstein's alleged sex trafficking?

Or was it that the FBI said he arranged a model’s visa before she was recruited to give a massage at Epstein’s house, where Epstein allegedly raped her?

Or is it the civil lawsuit he’s facing over the alleged drugging and raping of Victoria Drake?

And you think he’s “amazing”.

That’s a lot of promises you’re making there, Mayor.
