Era uma vez uma nação chamada Pérsia. Eles deram refúgio a 4.000 muçulmanos e, 100 anos depois, todos os Persas haviam sido exterminados.
Hoje, essa nação é o Irã.
Eu só achei que você deveria saber.

@LayahHeilpern How low do you think it will go?

Regardless of personal opinions about Russell Brand, on the exact same day he received a prison sentence of ten years and six months, an Afghan national appeared in court for three counts of rape and penetration of a child under 13, but received a two-year suspended sentence.

🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

Resonates with what I see at the moment.

[Richard Donaldson @RDonaldson91]

Sometimes I wonder if we are just too far gone.

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

Again… 2 tier sentencing?

[Jade Warwick @TheJadeWarwick]

Again, Russell gets 10 years 6 months but…

Umar Razaq was jailed for 4 years 6 months for sexual activity with a child (a 13-year-old).

One of five men convicted at Sheffield Crown Court of grooming and sexually abusing girls aged 12–16.

The judge described them as “sexual predators.” Evidence included him pulling the 13-year-old’s hair and calling her a “white bitch” when she resisted after kissing/cuddling.

He was released after roughly nine months!

(Rotherham, sentenced 2010)

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

This really gets me. Why are these figures so profoundly different? It wreaks of corruption.

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Some rapists are treated more leniently than others.
Why would that be?

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

This is off right?

[VoW Silla @VoWSilla]

I don't like the guy, but this makes no sense. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

@sunnydecree Hanging in there

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Remember them.

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

I would watch this gleefully

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

We should build a socialist town in England, let the socialists go and run it their way - there rules, taxes etc…

We should film it, allow people to see what happens.

After 1 year those who want to join it can. Those who want to leave can leave, have a shower and a warm meal.

[Restore Britain @RestoreBritain]

If you want the same decline, the same politicians, the same old shit - there are now three main options.

Tories, Labour, Reform. Take your pick.

If you want a party that is genuinely different? Actually radical? Willing to do what needs to be done?

There is now another way.

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

@yhbryankimiq Hahaha… what are you smoking?

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

Prison. Nothing less.

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇫🇷🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

Young Bob just got jumped by a group of violent leftists.

If you are right wing stop going to debate left wingers unless you are willing or able to physically defend yourself. At least bring security. There’s no point in just allowing leftists to bash you

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

I would like to see anyone punching young Bob for political disagreement to be given prison time. It’s disgusting behaviour.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

When this kind of violence is allowed by the police, it marks the end of a decent society

Stab a boat, instantly locked up until trial.... threaten to cut a woman's throat you are free until sentencing and then you don't turn up.

Don't fucking tell me there's not two tier policing and justice in this country.

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

This is so good.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Grim news. Burnham has signed us up to 'time-bound' talks on a slavery apology. I have tabled a parliamentary motion calling for the opposite...

Here's what it demands.

- No apologies from the House of Commons for Britain's historical involvement in slavery.

- Not one penny in slavery reparations from British taxpayers.

- Official recognition and gratitude from these African/Caribbean nations for Britain's role in abolishing the slave trade and the sacrifices of Royal Navy sailors.

- Immediate termination of all British foreign aid, development assistance and taxpayer-funded grants to countries whose governments demand slavery reparations.

- A ban on UK visas for citizens of countries whose governments make such demands.

- An end to national self-flagellation over Britain's history, and pride in our country's contribution to abolishing the slave trade.

All MPs have been invited to support.

Not one has signed, so far.

[Roger Jackson @RojJackson]

@RupertLowe10 Love it. I would support this. So good.

[Kellie-Jay Keen @ThePosieParker]

Listen to the state of this....
Below is a call recording between the police and me
(listen from about 4 m)
I want everyone to understand what state this country is in.

Tower Hamlets Council lied to the police. Yet when I submitted a subject access request asking for the personal information it holds about me, it claimed to have no records mentioning me.
This is a recording of my conversation with a police officer on 25 June, two days before our planned event in Tower Hamlets. Shortly afterwards, the police imposed conditions under section 14 of the Public Order Act. We risked arrest if we failed to comply.
We chose Tower Hamlets to show that there are places in the UK that have become no-go areas for English women like me—places in our own country where we cannot speak freely in public.
Listen to what the officer says. What you will hear is how our freedom to speak was made dependent on who we are and what those who disagree with us might do if we spoke in public.
There should not be a public park in the UK where women cannot gather to speak about women's rights.
I have chosen to publish the whole call so I cannot be accused of manufacturing something. It's is madness though.
Basically the police are against us, the law abiding British people. We are a nuisance. But we can be controlled and pistol whipped by the state.

The police are afraid of migrants, muslims and leftists.

[Ben Thompson @TheStoicEnglish]

The British Empire was the greatest work of human civilisation this world has ever seen. It outlawed the slave trade and then hunted it to extinction across every ocean on earth. It put the rule of law on six continents. It built the railway, the telegraph, the modern world. And when it left, India, Canada, Australia and fifty more kept the lot. That is not conquest. That is inheritance.

A quarter of the land on earth. A quarter of the people. Run from one wet island. Now ask what it did with that reach. Not what it took. What it built.

It built the law. Around a third of the world's people live under legal systems descended from English common law. The presumption of innocence. Trial by jury. A judge who can rule against the government and keep his job.

It built the machine age. The first intercity railway. The cable that joined Europe and America. By 1902 a telegraph ring circled the entire world, landing only on British soil.

It built the knowledge. Newton. Darwin. Faraday. Turing. Berners-Lee. The machine you are reading this on is, from the physics up, a British invention with foreign parts.

And it built a war on the slave trade. No great power had ever made war on the trade — until Britain did. Sixty years. Around 1,600 ships seized. Around 150,000 Africans freed. Around 2,000 British sailors dead doing it.

Then the thing that proves the case. Every empire before it ended in fire. This one chose to go — and the nations it freed kept the lot. The courts. The parliaments. The language. Then they formed a club with the country that had ruled them. Fifty-six members. Four of them were never British at all. Former French and Portuguese colonies asked to join.

Nobody applies to join the empire of a tyrant.

Was it perfect? No empire is. Fine. Now name the empire that did better. Name the one that bled for sixty years to end the slave trade. Name the one whose former subjects kept its courts. Name the one that packed up and went home.

There is one.

Nobody keeps the chains of a master. They keep the gifts of a builder. Fifty-six nations kept them. That is the verdict — and it was not ours. It was theirs.

Others apologise for our history. I tell it — properly, from the record, without the guilt. If that's what you want more of, stand with me: https://t.co/qC8TTIpcH2
