"Our History: Race Definition…is every skin colour a race, or how much colour constitutes a race, or is every country or nation a race, or every continent a race, or is every ethnicity a race, or can we just continue to invent races but deny our ‘one humanity’?" @SirGeoffPalmer
One glaring thing the emerged from the BBC's Biafra documentary is that Britain has remained exactly the same.
"The coloniser never changes his face, only his mask"
If three white women, sisters in their early 30s died together at 5.30-5.45am at Brighton Pier, we would have wall to wall coverage, appeals for cctv, doorbell cam and dashcam footage for days. A proper investigation needs to occur, not immediately declaring it not suspicious.

🇧🇼 Botswana’s repeal of its colonial‑era law criminalising same‑sex relationships is a powerful step for dignity, equality & human rights. Decriminalisation saves lives — by reducing stigma and expanding access to health services.

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.
'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.
If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.
Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.
Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.
This crosses every line. It’s time to name this for what it is…a man in the grip of a psychotic episode - an episode where sadly a person loses touch with reality, experiencing symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Trump needs help and care, but also removal from power.
@sajidjavid Sir Sajid Javid is a grandee of the British Conservative Party, which continued (and continues) to accept and keep money from Frank Hester despite his anti-Black racism.
Selective anti-racism is no anti-racism.
Without images like this "history" books would simply paint this as "Local Mandan chiefs sold the land of Mandan tribes" in the exact same way "history" sold fools (and racists) the "Blacks sold Blacks into slavery" lie.
🚨 New #ButlerBlocks.
The racism, threats & abuse I face are off the scale - and this is only a fraction.
This is what we’re up against from the far right: relentless hatred.
We won’t be silenced. We’ll keep calling it out. ✊🏾
Please go and watch this award-winning documentary, “Everybody To Kenmure Street.” It is now showing in cinemas across the UK.
We guarantee you will love it. We are truly honoured to be part of the Q&A alongside such talented actors and actresses. @KenmureStreet.
Spain has closed its airspace to US planes involved in attacks on Iran.
Meanwhile, the UK is letting US bombers land, refuel and re-arm.
Complicity is always a choice — and our government has chosen to drag Britain into an illegal war.
This ‘update’ from Keir Starmer is obfuscation. The reason the UK needs to act in ‘collective self defence’ is because the US & Israel *chose* to start an illegal war. Something he refuses to mention. It appears the U.K. is, bit by bit, being dragged into a war with Iran.
Mum died on Monday.
Today she received a £50 civil penalty for not letting DWP know soon enough she was in hospital & had been overpaid £73.90 in allowances.
The traumatic experience of hospitalisation & loss of mental capacity was deemed 'not a reasonable excuse'.
F this world.
