The courageous 17-year-old rebel who valiantly fought for freedom and was executed by the Germans, 1943. Lepa Radié, at the age of 15, witnessed the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. Due to the country's strategic position during the war, it swiftly succumbed to the invasion. Yet, despite falling under the sinister grip of fascism, the people of Yugoslavia fiercely defended their honor and pride, even to the point of sacrificing their lives.
Following her arrest and imprisonment by the puppet government of Yugoslavia, Lepa Radic was liberated by Partisan fighters. She joined their cause, actively participating in the resistance movement's frontline operations, which sought to overthrow the occupying forces and establish a socialist government. Her role involved transporting wounded fighters to medical facilities for treatment. Tragically, her involvement in the resistance movement ultimately led to her demise.
Radic took part in a mission to rescue 150 women and children, engaging in combat against enemy troops. However, she was captured and condemned to death by hanging. During the three days preceding her execution, she endured torture in an attempt to extract information about her fellow partisans. Despite the torment, she remained steadfast and refused to provide any answers. Just before her hanging, she was given a final opportunity to disclose the identities of her comrades, to which she defiantly replied, "I am not a traitor to my people. Those whom you inquire about will reveal themselves once they have eradicated every single one of you evildoers."
With those unwavering words, the support beneath her feet was abruptly taken away, and she was hanged. Lepa Radic was posthumously honored as a national hero in 1951. She stands as an enduring symbol of freedom, resistance against oppression, and unwavering loyalty.

Nobody in power wants an intellectual in any government position, and certainly not a free thinker or philanthropist.
These people are carefully chosen not to be too bright, and to be greedy and malleable.
I wish folk would grasp this...
We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.
