They beat a 16 year old boy half blind and threw him in the street to die.

The man who stopped for him wasn't a lawyer, a lord or a hero. He was a government clerk. And he ended up cracking slavery wide open. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

The boy was Jonathan Strong. The clerk was Granville Sharp. In 1765 Sharp and his surgeon brother nursed the boy back from the edge.

Two years on, the man who owned Strong saw him well again and sold him to a Jamaica planter for 30 pounds. The law was meant to be on the owner's side. The whole slave trade leaned on one legal opinion, that a slave was property, in England as anywhere.

Sharp had no answer. So he taught himself the law of England, book by book, night after night, until he found the crack. That opinion had never been a ruling. No court had ever decided it. It was a guess, written over dinner. A bluff.

So he called it. Strong walked free. The owner challenged Sharp to a duel, and Sharp told him to try it in court instead.

And the argument this clerk built in his spare room stood, 7 years later, behind the ruling that slavery was too odious for English soil.

Strong never saw it. He died in 1773. But the clerk who would not walk past him had started everything.

You were taught Parliament freed the slaves. You were never taught the clerk who really started it. That is the Britain worth being proud of, and the history we dig out, the Britons the textbooks left out.

Excellent ITV report on the Darlington nurses. Following their landmark win in January, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the trust has now paid out, apologised, and committed to protecting single-sex spaces.

So now we know, those of us who took note of Charles’s trajectory earlier this year were not conspiracy theorists. He WAS moving to end Britain’s Christian cultural identity.

Durin the Ottoman period, the Muslim Turks, in order to terrorize the Greeks, impaled and roasted alive Athanasios Diakos. But, they gave him a chance: "Will you become a Turk, Diakos? Will you change your faith? Will you pray in the mosque and abandon the church?"

He replied to them: "Go away, you and your faith, may you perish, you renegades! I was born a Greek, and as a Greek I shall die."

According to eyewitness accounts from the time, two Turks lit a fire next to the stable and placed an iron grate and a large copper cauldron filled with oil over it. Then they lifted Diakos, still bound as he was, and made him sit on an old wooden stool. They raised his legs. The Turks began to mock him, asking him various questions. For every negative nod, they drove nails into his feet. Afterwards, they took the boiling oil and first poured it over his bare feet.

When they saw that he did not react, they tore his clothing and began pouring it on his back and chest. He groaned silently in pain, and the soldiers, under orders not to kill him, used needles to burst the blisters that had formed on his skin from the boiling oil. This continued for hours, until the next morning.

Exhausted as he was, they dragged him through the town to execute him. His execution was carried out in public view with the permission of Halil Bey, so that the Greeks would be warned about what would happen to anyone who dared to revolt. Testimonies state that even Diakos’s mother was present at his torture.

After tying him backwards onto a saddle with his legs spread apart, the executioner began pushing the sharp tip of a wooden stake into his groin area and then slowly drove it deeper, going all the way through his body until it emerged near his right ear. The executioner moved carefully, as he had orders not to kill him quickly; with every push of the stake, Diakos’s screams confirmed he was still alive.

Once the executioner had finished his work, the Turks tied the body tightly with the stake so that the skin would not tear, and they propped him up, almost upright, against a tree.

As he was dying, it is said that he uttered these sorrowful verses: "Look at the time Death has chosen to take me, now, when the branches are blossoming and the earth brings forth grass."

Halil Bey gave the order to light a fire beneath him and to turn him slowly, so that he would be roasted alive like an animal. After many hours of torture, the Greek chieftain passed away on April 24, 1821. However, this had the opposite effect from what the Turks had expected.

When the Greeks learned of his story and his martyrdom, they were filled with even greater rage and strength to liberate themselves from the barbarous Muslims and Islam.

Athanasios Diakos is one of the most important heroes in the Greek history.

The United Kingdom was built by the working of the working class, the management of the middle class, the leadership of the ruling class and the genius of the entrepreneurs and genuine intellectuals.

It was not “built on immigration”.

You were told Britain was cut off from the world until the Romans came. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

This boat proves it wrong. 🛶🔎

In 1992, road workers in Dover cut into a riverbank and found her. 9 metres of oak, stitched with yew, waiting in the silt for 3,500 years.

Around 1,500 BC, British boatbuilders on the Kent coast launched a vessel built to take the English Channel. Oak planks shaped with bronze tools. Sewn together with yew withies, the way our shoemakers still stitch leather. The seams sealed with moss and beeswax.

She worked the crossing. British tin went south. Continental bronze came north. Bronze Age Britain was trading with Europe in its own boats, before anyone in Italy had built a city called Rome.

Then she was lost in the silt of the Dour river-mouth, where the modern town of Dover now sits on top of her. In September 1992, workers digging the new A20 found her. The yew stitching still intact. The moss and wax still sealing the seams.

Britain's oldest sewn-plank seagoing vessel. Launched from a British shore, year after year, before Stonehenge was finished.

You were told the British were isolated until the Romans came. They were crossing the Channel in their own boats 1,500 years earlier. Never primitive. Never alone.

We tell the parts of our history that get left out, free, for anyone who wants them.

@revwickland @dizzidi12 As a society we have no qualms about the murder of unborn children or shuffling off the aged and disabled, yet we seem to place a higher status to these monsters. The world has been turned upside down

[Chris Hall ✝️ @chrishall57]

@revwickland @dizzidi12 I’ve always been wary of the return of the death penalty given the politcising of our legal system and the ineptitude and corruption amongst some of our police, but I think recent cases are changing my mind

ICELAND FOUNDER BLASTS TWO TIER POLICING AFTER COPS RUSHED TO STORE OVER BOGUS RACISM CLAIM WHILE IGNORING VIOLENT SHOPLIFTERS

Sir Malcolm Walker founder of Iceland revealed the incident at a store in Enfield London where a man in his 20s was caught taking milk bottles out of the fridge opening them and putting them back.

An Asian shop supervisor remonstrated with a black customer only for him to phone police claiming he had been racially abused after being caught tampering with milk bottles.

Officers arrived within three minutes handcuffed the supervisor dragged him to a police car and detained him for two to three hours before the matter was dropped.

Walker described it as a terrible over the top reaction and madness adding that staff face weekly violence including punches threats with knives or hypodermic needles yet police rarely respond.

He has lodged a formal complaint with Scotland Yard over what he calls two tier policing.

The customer was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence while the Metropolitan Police stated they serve all communities equally with no fear or favour.

What a bittersweet concept.

They should all be with us today. Maybe in an alternate and more just reality, they still are...
