@mehdirhasan Less than 0.1% of the British population had any involvement in the slave trade at its peak. The overwhelming majority of people were in scraping poverty, yet you want their descendants to cough up. 🐍
@mehdirhasan There are barely any post 9/11 films that cast Muslims as the villains. The only major films that do are based on real events like American Sniper. Not Bond, Bourne, Mission impossible, Fast & Furious etc etc WTF are you talking about?
@purohit_vi46848@iamjam4s@profkagwanja There's nothing to be justified. It was a naturally occurring famine. If the response wasn't good enough, take it up with the Japanese who were invading India and blowing up shipping.
@JonathanSKay@f_blackburn1925@daveatherton We use a consent-based definition (no force/threat needed) & record every allegation as a crime. European countries still require violence/coercion and filter more reports out. As a result, the UK numbers look massively inflated. As ex police, how do you not know this?
@f_blackburn1925@JonathanSKay@daveatherton The point is that the definition of rape and sexual assault is different in the UK and it's recorded differently. Do you really believe that we have 100 times the rate of rapes as Bulgaria?
@NHSMillion Judging by these numbers, some populations are a major net drain on the NHS.
1 in 53 Brits work in the NHS Vs just 1 in 70 for Pakistanis, 1 in 75 for Polish and 1 in 92 for Romanian. How do we benefit from this?
🇺🇸 Victor Davis Hanson destroys the hypocrisy of anti-Israel critics like Ilhan Omar and Zohran Mamdani: “I wish everybody would just look at the immigrants in our country who position themselves as the paragons of moral virtue… and what claim they have to judge Israel.
Ilhan Omar’s father was a colonel under Siad Barre — a genocidal dictator who slaughtered 200,000 of his own people. When he was overthrown, Somalis like Omar fled here knowing they’d be butchered if they stayed.
Then look at Zohran Mamdani. Indian expatriates carved out a merchant class across Africa. In Uganda today, 1% of the population is Indian-Ugandan… and they control 60% of the GDP.
When these people scream ‘settler-colonialist’ and ‘genocidal’ at Israel, those charges don’t apply to the Jewish state. They apply to the people leveling them.”
