“Far more people are dying in Nigeria than in Palestine. Last year, 500,000 Christians were killed. But the activists aren’t protesting or saying anything. To me, that’s hypocrisy.” Well said.

Why won’t any of you celebrities who have been so vocal about Gaza say something about Iran and this horrific regime?
It never had anything to do with freedom, did it? You’ve shown that now.
When William the Conqueror rode into England in 1066, he didn’t just bring knights and taxes. He brought a new ruling language. Overnight, the people at the top of society stopped speaking like the people at the bottom.
In royal courts, great halls, and law courts, the new Norman elite used French (technically Anglo-Norman). Charters, lawsuits, royal commands—if it mattered to power, it was written and spoken in French or Latin. The king was roi, the court was cour, and the law was loi.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of the population—Anglo-Saxon farmers, craftsmen, and villagers—kept speaking Old English. It was a West Germanic language, closer to modern German and Dutch than to what we speak today. Everyday life still ran on words like hus (house), cū (cow), swīn (pig), hlāf (loaf).
For almost 300 years, these two worlds coexisted uneasily. A peasant might never utter a word of French, yet French still governed his taxes, his trials, and his king. Slowly, though, the languages began to bleed into each other. Children growing up near towns and courts heard both tongues; scribes started to mix spellings; priests translated sermons for mixed audiences.
Out of this long contact came a linguistic double vision we still live with. The people who raised animals used their old Germanic words: cow, pig, sheep. The nobles who ate the prepared meat used the French ones: beef (from boeuf), pork (from porc), mutton (from mouton). We govern with French and Latin—justice, parliament, nation, crown—but we feel with English: love, hate, home, hearth.
By the 14th century, the two streams had merged into Middle English, the language of Chaucer. It was neither pure French nor pure Old English, but a layered, flexible mix that could talk about kings and cabbages with equal ease.
That is the strange legacy of the Norman Conquest: a country split by language that, over time, forged one of the richest vocabularies on Earth—precisely because it once could not agree on how to speak.

President Trump at the UN: "When your prisons are filled with so-called asylum seekers who repaid kindness with crime, it's time to end the failed experiment of open borders"
"According to the Council of Europe in 2024, almost 50% of inmates in German prisons were foreign nationals or migrants."
"In Austria the number was 53% of the people in prisons."
"In Greece the number was 54%."
"In Switzerland, beautiful Switzerland, 72% of the people in prisons are from outside of Switzerland."
I can’t think of anything else in my lifetime that has ignited popular interest in history to the degree that this podcast has, or even come close. It’s a remarkable achievement — and an utterly outstanding podcast, obviously.
🚨NEWCASTLE MOSQUE JUSTIFIES GROOMING GANGS
Imam Abdul Basith Umri of Newcastle Central Mosque preaching that as soon as young girls have hair and menstruate they are adults
He is justifying paedophilia
They should be closed down
Will Northumbria Police Act?
Muslims surround a Christmas Market in Germany & aggressively chant “There is no God but Allah & Muhammad is his messenger”
We CANNOT coexist with this medieval barbaric ideology in the West.
This is not acceptable & Islamists must be removed from the West.
These people are intimidating, terrorising, threatening, asserting dominance & harming our people while Western leaders protect & enable them.
We DON’T have to live like this.
What you allow will continue.
Muslims around the world are losing their minds after ex-Muslim activist Yasmine Mohammed exposed their lies and revealed the truth,
Islam is not a religion of peace, it’s a propaganda movement wrapped in victimhood.
She says out loud what so many are afraid to admit:
'The biggest scam of the 21st century: the Palestinians are the world’s greatest deception.'
Global hypocrisy, silence from the media, and finally, the truth is being heard.
You must listen to her. If you agree with every word she says share this!
🚨 Is the BBC insane???
They have just cut the live feed to Donald Trumps speech in Israel. Because they hate they were wrong!
What a disgusting organisation, funded by British citizens and the values they hate!
Shame on the BBC 🚨
So you've got:
James Trafford - Chose to come back to City over being a starter at Newcastle, for them to buy a world class GK 2 weeks later and him be benched
Wissa - Bought for £50m in the last year of his contract, for him to tear his ACL and likely not play this season at all. £50m literally down the drain.
Buonanotte - Mentioned how excited he was to play UCL football, initially left out of Chelsea's UCL squad.
Wirtz - 150m with 0 goals, 0 assists so far
Isak - Missed out on weeks of football, made the NUFC fan base hate him, possibly cost Sweden multiple games because he wasn't match fit for them
But yes, Benjamin Sesko is clearly the worst signing here. 2 goals in 4 starts in the PL so far, looking better every game, is clearly the worst signing here because *checks notes* he signed for Manchester United?
Shocking and lazy journalism.
Every time Arsenal traveled to a country that could POTENTIALLY arrest Thomas Partey, he picked up a mysterious “knock.”
What a sad, sad world we live in.
