@RupertLowe10 This is what's wrong with governments to many are for parry and not for what's best for Britian, I'm sure there are some from every party that would want that but way it is they won't stand up even when disagreeing with leader or other party members or policies.
@BrainsinNo@ShiftingSands2@jk_rowling If thats the case then why can't they use the mens bathroom if it's only an imagined risk of harm & being "uncomfortable" isn't relevant. Why is it ok for one but not the other? Genuine question to your claims.
@RupertLowe10 Didn't Keir also just no No after each leader before him has said no to financial reparations while each apologised for uks role it has gave back, written of millions of debt for them. Why is Andy considering it letting this become a thing again.
@RupertLowe10 I don't understand, billions is given over the years & regularly & other countries give billions to them too, while also taking immigrants, workers & lots of students getting free everything and it's still not enough. Uk generations now & future can't keep having to pay for past?
Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.
@officialsammyuk Why is a poppy for veterans & service members, it is a non-political, non-partisan symbol of remembrance and hope and disgusting is is being twisted and can be banned from places in UK
@PoundShopBot@UKTheRightSide@HumzaYousaf Agreed and find there is a lot of words being softened or changed depending what direction its towards and its vile. He is a hypocrite like many who can call out then be quiet on same situations depending on the "side" and that shows you character & who they are.
@PoundShopBot@UKTheRightSide@HumzaYousaf I agree with you, I don't like him think he's a hypocrite & as stated I think the word sounds like they are softening it and don't like it, just added what I had seen and wondered if true
@UKTheRightSide@HumzaYousaf I agree it sounds like softening & don't like that wording.
I did see though that if calling those murdered the martyr's then they are the innocent going to God & the ones who killed are not going. 🤷♀️
@LHolt99@CathyHiya We love rolls (preferablywell fired) , philly cheese, sometimes little jam, cheese & crisps (preferably cheese/onion ones) when younger didn't have the luxury it was just marg & crisps or cheese spread & crisps lol
@ScotNational Is this legit? The amount of guys I've seen chat shit throughout the years claiming they know people or could get stuff done, yet couldnae organise a piss up in a brewery is crazy. Sit town/bus/train long enough you'll hear it loads.
@smalltxyy@Kent_Online So it's not just a one time incident and had been mutiple head injuries, sad to read social services had just signed off 24hrs previous.
Injuries also show being shaken & other neglect, poor little mite sounds like he had a horrible short life
@beyoncegarden If you can't handle the answer don't play games like these, it's a sure fire way to cause issues. Also don't compete with a mom they are two separate relationships & roles. Nothing wrong with him choosing mum for somethings & if things like bank account etc that might be on you.
@PolitlcsUK To all of them, so if you pay for 3 your paying extra 3 times when you don't even watch BBC or regular TV. Are they also giving all the companies access to put all their shows/movies etc on those platforms.
I don't understand how you can force companies to do this and public
@jhendy_10@YouGov I thought it was just me there, close was bit between houses/buildings & in the flats, alley we (not all scots obvs) used as lane & pend isn't the same either
They cost a fortune too, I don't understand why they can't get kids from the high school into photography to take the pictures then the school send the digital copy across for a reasonable small cost. The student gets experience, school gets some money & parent gets photo.
