it's actually insane to me how Poland, a country who never faced a shooter before, dealt with it so much better than countries frequently facing similar tragedies. 2 policemen armed with funny glocks neutralized the shooter equipped like terminator. Ambulances were there in 5 minutes. Qualified witnesses threw themselves in to aid the shot. Employees of big stores, tiny stalls, museums, transport, everyone knew what to do to protect as many people as possible and with nerves of steel. The public went to donate blood in droves so big the hospitals after few hours couldn't take any more. Like there are some serious notes western governments should pen from this

@xtinexoop @lisareality1 Well there’s hardly an incentive to earn more is there? 🤷‍♀️ the more you earn the more you pay back and are taxed

[onedayatatime @minimum989]

@VntgAmeri @lisareality1 It amounts to quite a lot of money actually. These are the people we want to settle down and raise a family. Not sure how they are supposed to do that nowadays

[Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV]

Serious question, if the Muslims being elected today are not responsible for 9/11 then how am I as a white man responsible for slavery that happened 150 years ago.

The left can’t have it both ways on this. I’m just looking for a little consistency.

@VntgAmeri @lisareality1 A lot of youngsters have student debt to repay

On behalf of the British people, I would like to apologise for the slave trade. I am sorry we were the first great power in history to turn its guns on it. I am sorry it cost us around 2,000 sailors to free 150,000 people they would never meet. I am sorry the rest of the world took so long to follow.

Slavery did not begin with Britain. It is as old as civilisation. Babylon wrote it into law. Rome built an empire on it. The Vikings sold Englishmen through the slave market at Dublin. In 1625 Barbary corsairs took 60 men, women and children out of a Cornish church; by 1640 Parliament was told 3,000 to 5,000 English people were held in Algiers alone.

Every great power of the age took part in the Atlantic trade. Portugal and Spain for a century before an English ship did. Then the Dutch, the French — and the British, who in the eighteenth century carried more than anyone. That is the record. It is not disputed here.

Then a nation turned on the trade that had made it rich.

Wilberforce's bill was beaten year after year. On 25 March 1807 it passed. Then Britain did the part the critics never mention — it sent the Royal Navy to enforce it. The West Africa Squadron sailed in 1808, two ships for 3,000 miles of coast, and hunted slavers for nearly sixty years. Britain paid Spain and Portugal to open their ships to search. HMS Black Joke ran down the slaver El Almirante in 1829 and found 466 people in her hold.

Around 2,000 British sailors died doing it — most of fever, to free people they would never meet. 1,600 slave ships seized. 150,000 Africans set free.

In 1833 Parliament borrowed £20 million to end slavery across the Empire. The debt was not finally redeemed until 2015. The United States needed a civil war. Cuba held slaves until 1886. Brazil until 1888 — eighty-one years after Westminster voted.

Yes, we took part in the trade. Every power of the age did. None of them fought it like we did.

So yes. I will apologise. I am sorry it cost us so much. I am sorry the rest of the world took so long to follow.

That is not something you apologise for. That is something you teach.

@Kwik_Fit @ContiUK Mince pies with brandy butter, yummy 😍

Singh's Dining restaurants' Google page has been hacked and we have no access. We complained to @metpoliceuk and @GoogleUK but no action has been taken. This criminal offence is sabotaging our business. Police must take action against the culprits. @sundarpichai, look into this. Are any of your employees involved?

@scddevereaux I’ve got goosebumps watching this 😍

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Please support his man's restaurant

He is the perfect example of someone who has integrated perfectly into the part of our society
that is multicultural

Which, of course, is resented by those in favour of uniculturalism

Hint, hint

Tonight, my family and I experienced something no family should ever have to go through.

Our restaurant, Singh’s Dining Restaurant in Hammersmith, was attacked by a group of Islamists.
We had been receiving death threats every single day, including one that specifically warned us that 28 October would be our last day.

We raised our concerns, and the @metpoliceuk were aware of the threats. Yet tonight, we found ourselves facing the very nightmare we had feared.

My daughter had to close the shutters just in time. I cannot even begin to imagine what might have happened if she hadn’t acted so quickly. We could have lost someone in our family tonight.
The attackers reportedly tried for a long time to break through the shutters to get inside, leaving shortly before the police arrived.

We have serious concerns about how the attackers knew when to leave, and whether they were alerted before the police arrived. These concerns deserve a thorough and transparent investigation.
Tonight, I am left facing a heartbreaking decision, Do we keep our doors open and risk our lives, or do we shut down the business we have worked so hard to build because I don’t serve Halal food.

No family should ever have to choose between their livelihood and their safety. No one should have to live in fear in their own place of work.

I am angry. I am heartbroken. I am frightened for my family’s safety.
I am calling on the @metpoliceuk to take these threats seriously, investigate tonight’s attack thoroughly, and ensure that my family is protected.
Please share this post. Let our voices be heard. We should not have to wait for someone to lose their life before our safety is taken seriously.
Enough IS Enough.
