🇬🇧 THEY TOLD YOU A STORY. 🇬🇧
Colonisers. Slavers. Oppressors. And you were supposed to feel ashamed.
Not for what you done... But for WHO YOU ARE. 🇬🇧
So we tested it. Britain wrote everything down, so we opened the books. 📖
Turns out fewer than 1 man in 10 could vote in the year Britain banned the slave trade. No woman could. Your ancestors could hang for stealing a sheep, get shipped across the world for petty theft, or go down a mine at 8 years old. In Manchester, the average age of death in a labouring family was 17.
They weren't running the slave trade. They were underneath it too.
Which is what makes what happened next worth knowing.
In 1772 an enslaved man named James Somerset walked free from an English court, because English law couldn't hold a slave.
In 1791, 300,000 families just stopped buying slave sugar. No march, no riot, just a decision made at 300,000 kitchen tables.
In 1792, 519 petitions carrying 390,000 names hit Parliament, most signed by people who couldn't vote themselves.
In 1807, Britain banned the trade.
Then the slave owners sent Britain a bill for the 800,000 people they still held. 💷 £20 million. About 40% of the entire government budget at the time.
The Treasury says it wasn't paid off until 2015. So if your family paid British tax before then, they helped buy 800,000 people their freedom.
From 1808 the Royal Navy spent 60 years hunting slave ships at sea: 1,600 stopped, 150,000 people freed, and 1,600 British sailors dead, mostly of disease, buried thousands of miles from home. ⚓
In 1816 they ended two centuries of Barbary corsairs enslaving Europeans.
In 1896 a war that lasted 38 minutes ended slavery in Zanzibar. 🇹🇿
Almost every country on Earth outlaws slavery today.
That fight was paid for largely at British expense, by British hands.🇬🇧
So why haven't you heard any of this?
Because within living memory, someone rewrote the story. You got taught the crime. Not the cure.
The powerful exploited the world. They exploited their own people first. It was those people who ended slavery. 🇬🇧
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
History got rewritten once, in living memory, by no one who was ever named or held to account.
We are ordinary people doing what ordinary people have always done. Opening the books. Refusing to look away.
This is how we fight back. Fact by fact. Story by story. Name by name.
We are the home of British heroes. There is a place for you in it.
If you can afford to support what we do: https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf
Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧
"Ex-Iraqi soldiers" are forcing away Belgian police trying to stop migrant boats crossing the Channel. This is an invasion and it's time Britain moved to a war footing to secure our safety.
My latest Friday monologue.
Six Prime Ministers in 7 years.
What an indictment of a political class that has impoverished and hollowed out our nation, flooding it with millions of strangers without providing new infrastructure or help for the British.
Shame on the lot of them.
General election NOW! 🚨
Today the Southport Inquiry published its findings.
I’m not talking about the agencies right now.
I’m talking about his parents.
Because somebody fucking has to.
I’m a former detective. 21 yrs in the force, I know what I’m looking at🧵👇
I still feel like many people don’t understand the level of evil inflicted by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs.
Think of your sister, daughter, or granddaughter as a child. Picture them. Think of how young and vulnerable they were.
Lucy Lowe was 14.
Sarah Wilson was 11
Fiona Goddard was 14.
Charlene Downes was 11 or 12.
Sammy Woodhouse was 14.
Victoria Agoglia was 13.
And there are countless more.
They were children. Many barely out of primary school, so young and in no way responsible for the atrocities committed against them.
Think about what gangs of Pakistani-Muslim men put those little girls through. Now imagine it was your sister, daughter or granddaughter.
Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs plied them with alcohol and drugs, they raped them in graveyards, they put them into the back of taxis and drove them to be gang-raped by 20+ of their friends, they dismembered them and sold them as kebab meat, they inserted a pump into their anal cavity and had multiple men sodomise them at once, they raped them on filthy mattresses above takeaway shops, they forced panties down their throat to muffle the screams, they threatened to murder them if they told anyone, they brutally beat them, they killed them and torched their houses with their family inside, they picked them up from local authority care homes to be raped, they forced them to take crack cocaine and heroin, they convinced them they loved them so they could abuse them, they killed their unborn children, they targeted the most vulnerable and marginalised, they told them no one would believe them, they forced them to get abortions, they passed them round like a piece of meat, they threatened to kill their families, they gaslit and manipulated them.
And that is just a fraction of the abuse inflicted by Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs in Telford, Rochdale, Rotherham, Oldham and elsewhere. That is just a tiny percentage of the horror that thousands of little girls faced at the hands of their abusers.
Now think about the people that were meant to protect them. Who comes to mind? Police, local councils, social services, sexual health clinics, schools, care homes.
But they didn’t.
Those in positions of power turned a blind eye for decades while little girls were being raped, tortured, and murdered.
They branded them “white slags”, “child prostitutes”, and “paki shaggers”. They walked in on victims naked and drugged with 20+ adult men and only arrested the child, they arrested girls for prostitution and handed them back to the same men that were exploiting them, they added the victims to dockets as co-defendants in their own abuse, they downplayed the scale of abuse, they refused to investigate reports, they paid for the taxi rides the girls got raped during, they silenced whistleblowers, they blamed the girls for their own abuse, they tried to block inquiries, and more.
Imagine all of this happened to your sister. Or your daughter. Or your granddaughter.
Now think again about how young they were, how vulnerable, how innocent.
And understand the true horror of child sexual exploitation and the depravity of Pakistani-Muslim grooming gangs.

Here in the UK, Starmer and his human rights gang have created a political prisoner.
Lucy Connolly 💔
Treated far more harshly than men who have hurt children.
Why is Lucy not granted the jail leave she’s entitled to?
You disgust me @Keir_Starmer
Bastani asks the great Hitchens to name a single thing the political class has got right in the last forty years.
Hitchens solemnly consults his long memory of Middle-earth and finds…nothing.
I don't care about diversity, and nor should you.
What matters is a culture that respects women, protects children, defends free speech, rewards effort, values competence, backs personal responsibility and puts its own people first.
That's what I care about, and so should you.
And for everyone other than the free speech suppressing socialists, far left, metropolitan liberal MSM luvvies & deluded Labour cultists, he was seen as a nervous snivelling creep who Trump had jumping round like a performing monkey! He played him like a fiddle & got everything he wanted. Had him cowering at his feet with a 2nd state visit invitation, cut him stone dead when started on about Canada in an attempted Macron bravery moment, laughed with @JDVance as he blurted out lies about free speech. Meanwhile news leaks that behind Whitehouse closed doors they all call him 'Commie Keir'. 😂
Keir Starmer has no idea how much trouble he’s in. How much trouble the deluded progressive leftist project is in.
The Pakistani child rape gangs with their thousands of victims is the biggest scandal in British history. Some say in the entire history of the West.
