One of our greatest African scientist after the 20th century. One of our greatest scholar who confronted the European scholars and expose the hypocrites and propaganda about African civilization.. Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop. There are plenty books out and his work get them and read them.
There are no Black chief constables, Supreme Court Judges or Permanent Secs
Colour of Power Index finds fewer than 60 Black people in the 1100 most powerful roles inc CEOs, Editors & Broadcasters, NHS Trusts & Public Bodies
Imagine what it would be like without anti-white racism
"Southern Water apologises after Winchester milestone removed."
So there's a mile stone on the Andover Road just outside Winchester, it's been there for 100s of years, guess who digs it up and then dumps it along with a load of other building waste in the local landfill?
Yep, step forward Southern Water.

Let’s break this tragedy down 😭😂
1 - It’s “two-tier”, not “two tied”. The
education system is the first victim here.
2 - Your son pleaded guilty. That’s usually a clue he did it.
3 - “It didn’t hit anyone” is a strange defence. If I rob a bank but drop the money on the way out, I’m still getting arrested.
4 - Calling it a kangaroo court after a guilty plea is like calling a football match fixed because your defender scored 3 own goals.
3 - “He’s only 21.” A fully grown adult then.
4 - “He’s got a full-time job.” Brilliant. So he had something to lose and still decided launching traffic cones at police was a good career move.
5 - “Never been in trouble before.” Well congratulations, he’s popped his virginity.
6 - The judge didn’t remand him because he’s white. He remanded him because throwing things at police during disorder tends to be frowned upon and is ILLEGAL!
The funniest part is that this entire post reads like:
“My son committed the crime, admitted the crime, was filmed committing the crime, pleaded guilty to the crime… but somehow the real criminal is the judge.” 😭😂
Reform UK’s new Coventry Councillor Amor Albert owns Goodnews Placements and Goodnews Mortgages.
The former specialises in recruiting immigrants to healthcare, the latter in finding them mortgages and loans.
Not at all contradictory to Reform UK’s narrative.
Man of the people, Nigel Farage is having a lovely £700k renovation on his beach side home!
I mean, who wouldn't after receiving £5m tax free!
Working class dreams!
FFS a new low, if it were possible from the Supreme Leader of Flag Shaggers and Coward of Calais Ryan Bridge. He's now stealing free lifejackets that are given out to stop people from drowning at sea. Raise the Colours need to be stopped they are vile.
Curse of private equity
Horrific, unregulated, and very profitable. Companies making cash from England’s children in care.
Average charge to the state by a private provider for a child in “care” is £384,020 a year, some charge £1m+.
End privatisation.

Look at this photograph.
It’s 1968.
The man carrying this little boy on his shoulders is not his father.
His father has just left.
Left his mother.
Left their home.
Left for another life.
And the man who showed up — who drove 45 minutes across London just to check on a 5-year-old boy whose world had suddenly fallen apart — is holding him steady with both hands while the child laughs at the top of his lungs.
That drive would inspire the best-selling Beatles single of all time.
The boy’s name was Julian Lennon.
And he has never quite known how to feel about it.
Julian Charles John Lennon was born on April 8, 1963.
Four days earlier, The Beatles had released their first album.
His father, John Lennon, was becoming one of the most famous people on Earth.
From the beginning, music came first.
The touring.
The recording.
The chaos.
The fame.
Julian came after all of it.
Paul McCartney, however, had known Julian since he was a baby. He watched him grow up while the world around the Beatles became louder and stranger and harder to survive.
Then, in May 1968, John told Cynthia Lennon their marriage was over.
He had fallen in love with Yoko Ono.
Cynthia later said she came home from vacation and found Yoko already there.
Just like that, the family was broken apart.
Julian was five years old.
Paul McCartney decided to drive out to see Cynthia and Julian.
No cameras.
No publicity.
No grand gesture.
Just a friend showing up because a little boy was hurting.
And during that drive, Paul started humming.
“Hey Jules… don’t make it bad…”
Later, he changed “Jules” to “Jude.”
The song became “Hey Jude.”
Released in August 1968, it spent nine weeks at No. 1 in America, sold millions of copies, and became the biggest-selling Beatles single in history.
But for Julian Lennon, the song carried two truths at once.
To the world, it became comfort.
To him, it became memory.
A reminder that his father had walked away.
And that another man had stepped in long enough to help carry the weight.
Years later, Julian admitted he has a “love-hate relationship” with the song.
Because every stadium singalong…
Every radio replay…
Every well-meaning person saying “Your song!”…
Also brings him back to that moment when his childhood changed forever.
Yet even through all the complicated feelings, one thing never changed:
He never forgot that Paul showed up.
Not because he had to.
Not because it benefited him.
But because a child needed kindness.
Look at the photograph one more time.
A little boy laughing with his whole body.
A man holding him securely on his shoulders.
Two hands making sure he doesn’t fall.
Julian doesn’t know yet about the divorce.
About the fame.
About the legal battles.
About inheritance disputes.
About the strange burden of having your pain turned into one of the most famous songs ever written.
Right now, he only knows one thing:
Someone came.
And sometimes, for a child, that is everything.
"South East Water hunts for £100m to plug its finances."
Why in God's name would anyone want to lend South East Water £100 million?
Put it this way, once we've nationalised Thames Water guess who's next on the list?

So Ivanka claims she came across this island swimming in the Mediterranean and she came ashore barefoot to explore the islands😂😂
Here is the problem with this: First, the island is in the Adriatic Sea. Secondly, the Albanians say the island is full of snakes making her barefoot story implausible. Lastly, in the words of Steve Schmidt, the island is full of landmines thus making her extremely lucky or a liar. I’m going with liar.
"Southern Water sparks fury with ‘absolutely disgusting’ sewage dumping plans."
So Southern Water's big plan to fix the sewage scandal is simply to extent their pipework and dump it further out to sea, no I'm not kidding, just as the good people of Whitstable. @SOSWhitstable

When will people see that Farage works for the benefit of one person - himself
If you need more clues see how much Trump and his family have made in the past 2 years....
We have to do more to protect the producers who still make things here. Support > sentiment.
Once they're gone, they don't come back.
This Denby news is genuinely sad.
