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.

Help keep our stories alive.

@CryptosBlocPrty @shahh oh yeah, what’s the genius thing they know?

[Dan @danriffy]

@C_S_Skeptic @BS_2A_Absolute @shahh bitcoin is backed by citizens of the world wanting to free themselves from centrally controlled and rent seeking monetary systems which eat away at their hard earned value they have created. it’s the first ever currency that brings true self custody for all.
Hardly “nothing”

@M92266Yohancy @JesusMartinez @grok bit more than a dip…

@RippleXrpie @XRP_Alerts this is the great crypto shakeout that has been needed. there can only be a handful of crypto currencies that survive - likely only bitcoin and ethereum.

@KobeissiLetter this is the great crypto shakeout that has been needed. there can only be a handful of crypto currencies that survive - likely only bitcoin and ethereuem.

@Web3Niels Wishful thinking - need more data - I only see more downside

@wobster77 @Danni33302647 @CarltonFC treating Kennedy and Cincotta poorly will matter to club culture and morale going forward.

[Dan @danriffy]

@DrJonnySinss @CarltonFC Are you Peter Daicos?

[Dan @danriffy]

@levi___s @CarltonFC yep disrespecting Kennedy and Cincotta. i’m afraid there will be more damage than just the loss yesterday. Voss needs to take a long hard look at his ways. sometimes decisions are not just about the next game but about club culture and future morale.

[Dan @danriffy]

@Billmit1980 @Danni33302647 @CarltonFC yeah it was all Kennedy’s fault….

[Dan @danriffy]

@Danni33302647 @CarltonFC I’d like to hear Voss’ answer to these great questions as well. Also what is your strategy for lowering injuries next year? do you consider playing style a contributor to injuries? Do you believe in player health management through a season?

[Dan @danriffy]

@KateEmerson88 @morewine4you @DD_Geopolitics it does bring into question the validity of her PhD. If she is of questionable character (not sure that has yet been established) and has gamed the olympic system. it is then reasonabke to question whether she gamed her PhD.

[Dan @danriffy]

@AlboMP it’s a good plan Albo. now please do something about high levels of immigration - i had a hell of a time finding a new place to rent in Melbourne. not to mention that my rent has now gone up 25%.

[Dan @danriffy]

@elonmusk elon much respect for many things you are working on. but your take on population is puzzling. we are consuming resources at a record rate, why is less people a big deal?

[Dan @danriffy]

@elonmusk No question capitlism works well - but we do need to address our impact on the planet. some form of regulation on capitalism is required otherwise we’ll consume out planet

[Dan @danriffy]

@Teslaconomics looks great. but i’ll be more convinced when i are multiple production cars with the same quality - it is easy to have high build quality in a few example showcars. nonetheless a recolutinary car.

[Dan @danriffy]

@CameronWoo46155 @NewsProspector @AlboMP however Cameron rent has skyrocketed, i know this first hand from trying to find a place to rent in Melb right now. increases of 20–25% with little available. caused by high migration. savings in doctors would be small in comparison to increases in rent.

[Dan @danriffy]

@AlboMP Albo, what are you doing about the rental crisis in Melb? it needs urgent action now! in the immediate term reduce immigration. then incentivise investors to build more new houses, penalise those who just buy existing houses to then rent adding nothing to the economy.

[Dan @danriffy]

@AlboMP Albo - i certainly remember those who died for our nation. what are you doing about the rental crisis in Melb? it needs urgent action now! in the short term reduce immigration. then incentivise investors to build new houses, penalise those who buy existing houses to rent
