“If you stand in Britain with a Hamas flag, you don’t deserve freedom in Britain.
You should be arrested. You should be deported.”

Do you agree with Douglas Murray?

[Proudofus.uk @ProudofusUK]

In November 1841, nineteen enslaved men took an American slave ship in the middle of the Atlantic.

They sailed it to the nearest British port. ⚓

128 of them walked off into freedom that day. 🇬🇧

And America wanted them back. 🇺🇸

Madison Washington had been born enslaved in Virginia. He escaped to Canada in 1840 and made it to freedom. Most enslaved people who reached Canada never went back.

Madison Washington went back. His wife Susan was still in Virginia. He couldn't leave her there.

He didn't reach her. He was recaptured. Sold. Put on the Creole, bound for the New Orleans slave markets.

So were eighteen other men who had decided this voyage would not end the way it was supposed to.

One of them was called Ben Blacksmith. Ben Blacksmith had heard a story.

The year before, an American slave ship called the Hermosa had run aground in the Bahamas. The Bahamas were British. ⚓ British magistrates had boarded the ship, taken the 38 enslaved people off, and freed them under British law.

That was the story Ben Blacksmith carried with him onto the Creole.

On 7 November 1841, the rebels took the ship. They killed one slave trader. They wounded the captain but kept him alive. They needed him to navigate.

Their first instinct was Liberia. The captain told them they didn't have enough food or water to cross the Atlantic.

That was when Ben Blacksmith spoke.

They turned the ship toward the Bahamas.

When the Creole sailed into Nassau harbour, something extraordinary happened. Small boats put out from the shore, rowed by Black Bahamian mariners. Most of them had once been enslaved themselves. All of them were now free under British law.

They surrounded the Creole. They were there to make sure the rebels could not be taken back.

A British colonial officer came aboard. He was clear. Under British law, slavery was illegal. Anyone aboard the Creole who had been enslaved was, from that moment, free. ⚖️

A hundred and eleven walked off the Creole into freedom that day. The Friendly Society of Nassau housed them, fed them, found them work.

Madison Washington and sixteen others were held to face trial.

In Washington, the news arrived with fury. The Secretary of State, Daniel Webster, demanded the rebels back to face charges of mutiny and murder. Southern politicians demanded compensation. Some called for war with Britain.

Britain refused. 🇬🇧

For five months. Through every threat.

In April 1842, the Admiralty Court in Nassau ruled. The men had been illegally held as slaves under British law. They had the right to use force to free themselves. They were not pirates. They were not murderers. They were free men who had escaped illegal captivity. ⚖️

On 16 April 1842, Madison Washington and his fellow rebels walked out of the Nassau jail into the Bahamian sun. ☀️

The Creole was not the first.

In 1830, the Comet wrecked off the Bahamas. Britain freed 164 people from it. In 1834, the Encomium. 45 freed. In 1835, the Enterprise. 78 freed. In 1840, the Hermosa. 38 freed. In 1841, the Creole. 128 freed.

Across twelve years, British colonies had freed nearly 450 enslaved Americans from American ships in British waters.

The most successful slave revolt in American history had ended on a British dock. 🇬🇧

Britain abolished slavery. Then refused to hand a single soul back, no matter who demanded it.

We exist to put stories like this back into the story of Britain.

Help us keep finding them. 🙏

Twas the night before the elections and yon @tractorgirly made thine video to remind my fellow Scots of all creeds how ridiculous @thesnp are.

19 years of decline especially since Sturgeon.

How many more years are you willing to risk of our nation our snd country our democracy being destroyed? Our society our women and our children are being sacrificed on the alter of nationalism.

Does it enrich you? Does it make you happier? Are your streets cleaner or safer? Are your taxes lower? Are they still blaming everyone else for their decisions?

It’s time to wake up Scotland and ditch these gravy train robbers and those who hide the criminals within their own party.

Wake up and make Scotland great again!

Vote anyone but SNP OR GREEN!

[Marko Polo @markthehibby]

🚨Swinney said Sturgeon was Scotland’s greatest FM.

Tell that to Linden’s victims while their abuser was protected & promoted.

The Murrells’ fingerprints all over the cover-up and the vicious bullying of journalists who exposed the truth! Swinney KNEW - they all did! #SNPout

Flooding Europe with Africans and Muslims is like pumping sewage into a mountain lake. There is no upside. There was never any possibility of an upside. It’s an act of deliberate destruction.

@SBarrettBar

[Pat Condell @patcondell]

The Golders Green stabber is a Somali Muslim. There is NOTHING British about him. His passport is irrelevant. He will never be British. None of them will be. Every one of them should be deported.
The police didn’t kick him hard enough. They should still be kicking him now.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

We don't need more Houses, we need fewer Tenants
We don't need more Police, we need fewer Criminals
We don't need more Doctors, we need fewer Patients
We don't need more Taxes, we need less on Benefits

Mass deportations literally helps every single problem we face

[David Atherton @daveatherton]

As a victim in Golders Green is carried to an ambulance, after an African attacked & stabbed two Jews, the blood is on the hands of:

Boris Johnson
Rishi Sunak
Keir Starmer
Crown Prosecution Service
Weak two-tier police leaders
Human rights lawyers
Judges
ECHR
Care4Calais & other NGOs
Home Office
Muslim antisemites

Please feel free to add.

Funny how this country picks and chooses who it protects.

On one side, you’ve got men from the Special Air Service—the tip of the spear—walking away because they feel like they’ve got a target on their backs. Not from the enemy… from their own side.

Sent into chaos, told to get the job done. No headlines, no glory—just results.
Years later? Lawyers circling, investigations looming, and a government that suddenly can’t quite remember backing them.

Then look at veterans from Northern Ireland—dragged back through the mud decades on, while the people who sent them there sit comfortably out of reach.

But when failure happens here at home—think the Stockport massacre—what do we see?
Quiet resignations.
Full pensions.
No decades-long pursuit.

We’ll chase soldiers across half a century for decisions made in the fog of conflict…
But when leadership fails in plain sight, it’s a polite handshake and a send-off.

That’s not justice. That’s convenience.

And if you’re one of the lads watching all this unfold, why would you stay? Why would you risk everything knowing you might be the one left holding the bag years later?

We don’t have a recruitment problem.
We’ve got a loyalty problem.

No wonder the lads are getting out of the regiment—half the country hasn’t got a clue why they sleep soundly at night.

[Mercurius @Mercurius_Scot]

It's almost pitiful to watch @theSNP Great Pretender and Scotland's top narcissist @nicolasturgeon continue in her sisyphean attempt to reframe her legacy of deceit, division and incompetence. It's too late Nicola.

[Rafe Heydel-Mankoo @RafHM]

Today (24 March) is the anniv. of the Union of the Scottish & English Crowns in 1603, when James VI of Scotland also became King James I of England (France and Ireland)

Never forget: Scotland wasn't colonised by England (as the SNP claim)

It was a Scottish king who united the Crowns in 1603 and it was Scotland that first called for a union with England (1690s), resulting in the Act of Union in 1707, which created Great Britain and a single parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Scottish Harry ✌️ @McmHarold79649]

Good riddance to a hate-filled, divisive, bitter, lying, narcissistic fraud !! The damage she has done to Scotland may never be reversible, the people of Scotland will never forget, and will never forgive !!

Good riddance, despicable human being, a total fraud and a con artist and her legacy is abject failure on everything she’s ever attempted, an evil, selfish woman, there will come a day of reckoning for her and the rest of the SNP loonies !!

BREAKING NEWS; Any time an illegal Migrant enters Britain & Murders someone or Rapes or Indecently assaults a Woman or a Child the Victim should be able to sue the British GOVT for failing to Protect Britains Borders as failing in their duty of care to keep us safe; Thoughts?🤔🤷‍♂️

Repost if you believe Labour are destroying Britain and the fabric of our society.

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

The Good Friday Agreement gave amnesty to countless IRA terrorists in countless ways.

The Secretary of State Hilary Benn attempted to claim the opposite, so I laid out for the House exactly how these amnesties worked.

He had no answer, so sidestepped the question.
