@EliAfriatISR Their lack of curiosity and clearly brainwashed views are not indicative of high intelligence. I am thankful that my own children emerged from university still able to think critically.

I have absolutely no idea why my timeline is completely ignoring the suspension of Labour MP Perran Moon today. He was just caught trying to dissolve his private company without paying back a £50,000 taxpayer-funded Covid loan. Right as this government prepares to hammer ordinary families with tax hikes in the Budget.

Here is what they desperately hope stays quiet!🧵

@zatzi Infant formula is tightly regulated and very high quality these days. It’s essential for mothers and babies where breastfeeding is not working. Unless the Left would either prefer babies to starve or return to the days of the wet nurse.

@Enoughsenough00 Lets not mince words here.
When the online saftey act was put into place it was imediately abused to censor videos and messages about protests within the UK
If they cared about the wellbeing of children they wouldnt allow gangs of child rapists to operate all over the country

This is such a terrific post that - regardless of your personal political views - it’s well worth a few minutes of your time. Every time some deluded Labour MP posts today about their new wet-dream offshore wind victory, just show them this.

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

The UN are clearly UNfit for women.

We are dismayed (to say the very least) that they would even consider a country such as Iran as a member of any body that plays a role in shaping women's rights.

Iran oppresses women and girls. They oppress the female sex. We'll take no lectures from the UN on the rights of women while they even entertain this.

The year is 8500 BC. You are an aurochs, six feet at the shoulder, and very little alive frightens you. Some people on the upper Euphrates have built a pen. About 80 of your mothers and sisters walk into it, and every cow that will ever live walks out. The bargain is simple. They keep the wolves off. You let them near the calf. It seems, on the day, like a fair exchange, and you keep your side of it for ten thousand years.

The year is 4000 BC. There is a beam across your neck and a pointed stick dragging behind. You lean into it because the man beside you is leaning too, and he talks to you the whole length of the furrow. He has given you a name. When you die his children will cry, and he will not eat that week. Every field on earth for the next six thousand years is opened this way, by the two of you.

The year is 2500 BC. In a temple in Sumer they carve you into the wall in white limestone: the priests milking you, the churn rocking, the butter poured into jars. You are washed every morning and counted every night. You are the most valuable thing the city owns and you are treated like it. Nobody carves the barley.

The year is 1200. You haul stone up the hill at Laon, a load at a time, for a cathedral you will never be let inside. When the towers are finished the masons carve sixteen of you, life-size, and set you at the very top, looking out over France. The bishop gets a slab in the floor. Somebody remembered who did the lifting.

The year is 1750. You come down off the Alp in September with flowers woven round your horns and a bell the size of a bucket, and the whole village is standing in the street in its best clothes to watch you pass. The finest milker walks at the front. She knows it.

The year is 1852. You are one of six in front of a wagon in Missouri, with a family's whole life behind you and two thousand miles ahead. The children ride on the tailboard, and by Nebraska the youngest has named all of you. When the grass fails you are fed last and you pull anyway. A country is walked into existence at two miles an hour, which is your pace.

The year is 1922. In Toronto a boy of 14 is dying of diabetes. He weighs 65 pounds and has days left. They inject him with an extract of your pancreas and he gets up and goes home. For the next sixty years every diabetic alive is alive because of you. Not one of them ever learns which of you it was.

The year is 1946. Britain has just weighed and measured its children for a war and seen what the ones without you looked like. A bottle of your milk goes on every school desk in the country, by Act of Parliament.

That is where you stand in 1946. You are named, garlanded, carved on cathedrals and written into law. Hold that thought.

The year is 2006. A report comes out of Rome with your shadow on the cover. It says that you, stood in a field, are doing more harm to the sky than every car, lorry, ship and aeroplane on earth. The sum counted everything about you from the fertiliser to the fridge, and only the exhaust pipe of the car. The authors admit as much. By then the sentence is on a billion screens.

The year is 2019. Thirty-seven experts publish the diet that will save the planet. Your share is a quarter of an ounce a day, one small burger a fortnight. A child comes home from school and asks her grandfather, who has got up at five to milk you for fifty years, why he is hurting the world.

The year is 2023. The Dutch government is paying farmers to be rid of you for good, on condition they never keep you again. A paper on a minister's desk in Dublin costs out the removal of 200,000 of you from Ireland, the island that counted its kings' wealth in your heads.

The year is 2026. Denmark has passed a law to tax your breath. There is a powder in your feed to stop you belching. A carton of oat water in the fridge says it is like your milk but made for humans. In a steel tank in California they are growing the thing that is meant to finish you off, and they feed it on corn.

You ploughed every field they ever sowed. You hauled their cathedrals and carried their children across a continent. You fed their orphans and kept their diabetics breathing. In return you asked for grass and somebody to watch for wolves.

You are still giving all of it. This morning, in the rain, on ground no plough could use, you gave it to people who have been taught to be ashamed of taking it.

You know none of this. You know the gate, the voice, and the hand on your flank at five in the morning.

He has read the report. He came anyway.

🚨ABSOLUTLY HORRIFIC 🚨

Joe Martin - A Reform UK MS who bravely stood up in the Welsh Parliament and said the truth

"White people are being replaced"

Has now been BANNED from speaking again unless he apologises

In a free society no one should be punished for telling the truth

No one should be forced to tell a lie

Joe Martin is a patriot who deserves our support for speaking the truth on this matter

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

This is a strong statement.

[Janet Murray @jan_murray]

A headteacher wrote to parents to tell them Mr X would now be known as Miss X. I've seen the letter.

The letter said 'Miss X' had already spoken to pupils about his pronouns. It also praised his courage and warned that unkindness towards him would not be tolerated.

And, basically, told families that talking openly about it would be disrespectful to the teacher involved.

Here are some of the safeguarding questions I’ve put to the school in my 'right of reply' request (heavily redacted to protect identities):

- Should a male teacher be telling young children he identifies as a woman and asking them to call him ‘Miss’?
- Were parents informed about his 'pronoun talk' beforehand? Could they ask for their child to sit out if they felt the subject was unsuitable?
- If pupils have been told a male teacher is a woman, what safeguarding implications did the school consider?
- Does the teacher use any female-only facilities? Do his duties involve supervising girls in toilets or changing rooms, including when they go swimming?
- Could a child be disciplined for saying the teacher is male or declining to call him ‘Miss’?

Then there’s the question of what happens when parents or staff raise concerns. Will the school take their gender-critical beliefs seriously or will they be told they’re discriminating against the teacher?

Given the person who highlighted this to me asked to remain anonymous, it doesn't look promising.

I’ll wait to hear what the school has to say. But parents shouldn’t need a journalist to find out what their children were told in class, what they were expected to say in response, or how the school would handle it if they disagreed.

The Free Speech Union is deeply troubled by what is happening in the Welsh Parliament.

The freedom of elected representatives to speak is at the heart of our democracy. Those we elect to represent us should be able to voice their constituents’ concerns, however uncomfortable they may be for some to hear.

We stand with @joemartin1066 and every elected representative’s right to speak freely in their Parliament.

🚨TWO TIERED POLICING

This is Emily Geer. She captured her own assault on camera and handed it to Greater Manchester Police, only to be told officers dropped the case because the suspect simply ignored their letters and knocks at his door.

Emily Geer, 33, was walking along Oxford Road on her way to study at the University of Manchester when she noticed a man following her and another woman.

When the man kept stopping and looking back at her, the Master's student started filming on her phone and asked him why he was staring.

The video footage captured the man appearing to lash out and strike her.

Emily handed the video over to Greater Manchester Police immediately, gave a full statement from her home, and received a crime reference number.

Officers initially told her they were pleased with the footage and spoke positively about the evidence.

Yet seven months later, Emily received a text message from the investigating officer confirming the entire case had been closed with no further action taken.

The force explained that they had tried to set up a voluntary interview without arrest, but the suspect refused to engage with letters, phone calls, or visits to his house.

Officers then requested his arrest, but told Emily that "ongoing operational demand and resource pressures" meant those attempts were limited and unsuccessful.

The six-month statutory time limit to prosecute the offence then ran out, forcing police to shut down the file entirely.

Emily says the decision has left her terrified because the man knows she tried to have him arrested and still frequents the area.

"It just seems as though they have just given up," she said.

Greater Manchester Police admitted the case fell short of acceptable standards, stating: "We acknowledge that in this case, the investigation fell short of the standards our communities should expect. Learnings will be taken from it to ensure that investigations are progressed quickly to ensure the best possible outcome for victims."

African Tippu Tip owned roughly 10,000 slaves in the 1890s. That was decades after the American Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment.

While white European societies had already abolished the slave trade and then slavery itself this man was still marching deep into Central Africa, burning villages, chaining captives, and selling them.

Tippu Tip became a famous slave and ivory trader of the East African interior. He led armed caravans of thousands of men hundreds of miles inland, raiding villages at dawn, killing the weak or elderly on the spot, and marching the rest in coffles to the coast. Roughly one-third of the captives often died on the journey.

The survivors were sold for Zanzibar’s clove plantations, for domestic service, and for export to the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf. Women and girls were routinely taken as sex slaves and concubines—standard practice in the Arab trade for centuries.

By 1895 he controlled seven plantations worked by about 10,000 slaves. He built a personal commercial and political domain in the eastern Congo, confirmed or replaced local chiefs, monopolized the ivory trade, and became one of the richest men of his era.

He assisted European explorers when it suited him, then watched from comfortable retirement in Zanzibar as European powers finished suppressing the trade he had helped expand. He died in 1905.

This photograph of him seated in turban and robes, staff in hand, is the classic image of the merchant who got rich selling other Africans.

You can earn a degree in African American studies and never hear Tippu Tip’s name, or the names of the African kings and Arab traders who actually captured and sold Africans who crossed the Atlantic or the Indian. Today’s universities treat the Arab and Swahili caravan Slave traders as footnotes or ignored entirely.

This is not an accident. Acknowledging that African elites and Middle Eastern buyers ran the supply side for centuries undercuts the simple narrative that frames slavery as a uniquely white-European or American invention.

British whites abolished the slave trade in 1807 and slavery in its colonies in 1833, then spent decades and enormous resources on naval patrols to stop the trade. The United States followed in 1865. These white societies were among the first large-scale institutional and systematic bans on slavery in history.

Slavery and the open slave trade continued in Africa and the Islamic world long afterward. Legal chattel slavery was abolished in Saudi Arabia only in 1962; Mauritania was the last country to ban it on paper, in 1981. Tippu Tip’s operation in the 1880s and 1890s was not a dying remnant; it was still large, profitable, and expanding under Arab-Swahili leadership.

The peak slave population in the United States in 1860 was about 3.95 million. Modern estimates of people in forced labor, forced marriage, and other forms of modern slavery put the global total near 50 million TODAY!!!.

Africa alone accounts for millions of slaves TODAY; the Arab states also show some of the highest prevalence rates in the world TODAY. Absolute numbers of people in modern slavery in Africa and the Middle East today exceed the peak historical figure for the United States. Definitions differ—historical chattel slavery is not identical to every form of forced marriage or debt bondage—but the scale of ongoing exploitation is not small.

Tippu Tip was certainly not the only African slave trader. Arab and Swahili traders from Zanzibar and the Omani sphere ran the East African trade for generations, selling captives north into the Middle East for labor, military service.

European societies were among the first to abolish slavery and enforce the ban. That fact is routinely omitted from the version of history taught in American universities. The men who owned ten thousand slaves in the 1890s while marching deep into the African interior should not be ignored. -RJ

Well since you asked @Phatymarh44:
1) We left Lebanon under imminent threats of execution as Lebanese Jews from Muslim militia;
2) My brother was forced to leave Lebanon because he was winning too many national Judo championships;
3) My eldest brother was forced to leave Lebanon when he was being increasingly harassed by Muslim militia (along with his non-Muslim wife);
4) My parents were kidnapped and abused by Fatah;
5) Some of grandparents escaped Syria because of Islamic Jew-hatred;
6) My brother-in-law's family escaped Alexandria (Egypt) because of Jew-hatred in Egypt;
7) My wife's Armenian family escaped Lebanon because of Islam;
8) My wife's ancestors were massacred or forced to flee the area around Turkey during the Armenian genocide;
9) I received endless death threats from Muslims when I lived in Montreal;
10) I receive endless threats and insults from Muslims on social media.

Is this enough or should I add more to the list?
