What exactly is a Kirpan, and why does UK law allow Sikhs to carry one?
I spoke on @BBCLeicester about Sikh beliefs, the Kirpan, and the importance of accurate public understanding.
🎙️ Interview attached.

David, yes agree and Sikhism is one stand out religion (or way of life and not technically should be a religion label as such) that not only forbids forced conversion and defends freedom of religion and unifies under the message of oneness and universal consciousness as the force of the creator and only ever has historically fought oppression and not caused any. I’m sure you have done your research anyway in this.
Absolutely correct Stephen, It’s quite simple, you don’t kill off your existing industry and all the jobs, skills and cause economic damage that go with it before the new industries which many are at R&D stage and have not reached any critical mass to offer transition jobs in numbers.
Also many of the new jobs will be AI engineered and automation driven requiring a fraction of jobs which other countries are also far ahead of UK in both technology and efficiency.
The current government strategy is a a highly flawed disaster.
🚨🇺🇸JEFFREY SACHS: U.S COULD HAVE STOPPED THE UKRAINE WAR FROM STARTING
“On December 15, 2021, I had an hour call with Jake Sullivan in the White House, begging, Jake, avoid the war - you can avoid the war.
All you have to do is say NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine.
And he said to me, oh, NATO is not going to enlarge to Ukraine, don't worry about it.
I said, Jake, say it publicly.
No, no, no, we can’t say it publicly.”

🇬🇧KEIR STARMER EXPERIENCES HISTORIC PLUNGE IN POPULARITY
Just four months after his election as PM, Keir Starmer has faced the steepest decline in popularity ever recorded in British political history.
His stance on free speech has not stopped people from speaking out about Starmer’s leadership, making Brits question if he should step aside.

When this woman confronted Keir Starmer.. you can tell he couldn’t give two f’s about what she was saying and then he had his bodyguard ( Lord Ali lookalike ) heavy handedly escort her out
Coward and a Arrogant f’ker
29 years ago today, Jaswant Singh Khalra was abducted, tortured, and later killed by Indian security forces for exposing the Indian government’s genocide of Sikhs.
Today, we honour his legacy by sharing his mission and continuing to raise awareness of the Sikh Genocide.
Sikhs are the light that shines the brightest in the darkest of places
Canadian Sikhs definitely make Canada 🇨🇦 better.
Sikhs make wherever they go brighter.

‘No politics here”
A Brazil fan begins chanting 'free Palestine' after being repeatedly interrupted by an Israel supporter while discussing football teams' performances during a TV interview at the Paris Olympics.
If John Swinney had uttered Sarwar's now infamous "Read my lips, no austerity" comment and then went on to announce £billions of cuts this clip would be repeated on a loop by BBC Scotland. We'd be sick of seeing it. It hasn't been played once since Starmer became PM. Not once.
