Anyone sympathising with @SouthamptonFC players should watch the example set by their captain, Taylor Harwood-Bellis after defeating @Boro in the play-off semi-final, second leg. Now that’s karma

I never say this but this is a must watch.
This is such a sad and complicated story. Richard Russell "Beebo" was a man at his end. I wish I knew why. He decided to go out in a blaze of glory armed with video game knowledge. I have to admit, I was excited when he pulled off the barrel roll. Unfortunately he was hoping that he didnt and that would be his ending. He then took the plane down on purpose to finish himself off. Nobody should ever feel like su!c!de is the only solution. The people left behind carry that pain forever.

So according to the science:

Aluminum in deodorant is bad, but aluminum in pharmaceutical products is good.

Mercury in fish is bad, but mercury in pharmaceutical products is good.

Formaldehyde in flooring is bad, but formaldehyde in pharmaceutical products is good.

Glyphosate in food is bad, but glyphosate in pharmaceutical products is good.

And most importantly, people who reject pharmaceutical products are bad, and people who gladly accept them are good.

It almost seems like science will conclude just about anything as long as
they profit from it.

Andrea, a nightmare in paradise, bless you.. If your insurance is redundant, & you’re able (or well enough)
A speedboat or Air-taxi to Malé £50pp. Malé to Sri Lanka (CMB) £200pp - Columbo (CMB) - London Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) £275 - £500, one way - Availability on both legs.

It’s not insignificant but 1.5k even on a CC, would stop the meter ticking & get you both home x

He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.

Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.

Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.

His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.

He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.

Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.

The slave trade.

He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.

Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.

Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.

They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.

MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.

He came back. Again. And again. And again.

By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.

Twenty years after he started, they voted again.

283 to 16.

The slave trade was abolished.

But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.

In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.

Three days later, William Wilberforce died.

He held on just long enough.

They buried him in Westminster Abbey.

In 1707, two thousand sailors DROWNED.
Not because of a storm.

Because nobody could tell where they were at sea 🇬🇧

This was the longitude problem. The deadliest puzzle in science.

Parliament offered £20,000 to anyone who could solve it.

Nearly four million today.

Every great scientist in Europe tried. Newton. Halley. The finest minds alive.

All of them failed.

The man who solved it was a carpenter from Yorkshire.

His name was John Harrison.

No formal education. No university. No wealthy patron. He taught himself clockmaking.

Built timepieces out of wood.

His idea was “simple”. If you know the exact time at home and the exact time at sea, you can calculate exactly where you are.

The problem?

No clock could keep accurate time on a moving ship. Heat warps metal. Cold contracts it. The ocean never stops moving.

Harrison spent DECADES on it.

H1. Twenty years of work. Not good enough.

H2. Better. Still not enough.

H3. Seventeen years. Over 700 parts.

Still not enough.

Then he did something nobody expected. He stopped building clocks.

He built a watch.

H4. Thirteen centimetres across. The most important watch ever made.

They sent it across the Atlantic. Eighty-one days at sea.

When they arrived, it had lost five seconds.

Five seconds. In eighty-one days. The problem was solved.

But here's the uncomfortable part.

They didn't give him the prize.

The Board of Longitude was run by astronomers.

The very men who'd been trying to solve it their own way.

The Astronomer Royal was both judge and competitor.

They changed the rules. Demanded his designs. Refused to pay.

A working-class carpenter had beaten every astronomer in Europe. And the establishment couldn't accept it.

Harrison was nearly EIGHTY before he got justice.

He went directly to King George III.

The king tested the watch himself and told Harrison to petition Parliament with the king's full backing.

Parliament paid. Harrison died three years later.

After his death, every ship on earth carried a chronometer based on his design.

Every GPS satellite. Every ship's navigation. Every flight path. All of it traces back to a carpenter from Yorkshire who taught himself to build a watch.

His watches are still at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Still ticking.

Still perfect.

The establishment tried to bury him once.

We're not letting it happen again 👇 https://t.co/rih7iKwnvf

It's weird that Mehdi Hassan has been able to salvage his career after these clips of him being a raging bigot leaked. His apology doesn't mean much when he hasn't acknowledged that these ideas are held by millions in the community. He treats it as an embarrassing faux pas.

@visegrad24 Ramzan, suffering with an undisclosed illness, fast tracked Adam, the ‘kid Colonel’ to take over at the helm.. Totally unqualified, totally inept, the absolute definition of Nepotism.

Ramzan, a Putin install, could be losing his legacy, his son, and his mind.
