Once on @loosewomen

[Helen S Fields @Helen_Fields]

I read a comment on this thread yesterday (no credit to me) that said…why does the male relative have enough cash to buy the child bride but not enough decency to help out financially to stop his relatives from starving. Whoever made that comment should be replacing the journalist who wrote this piece.

[Paul Bristow @paulbristow79]

He wasn’t wrong was he? An absolute circus 🤡

@LukeEdwardsTele And the majority of fans would agree I think!

Slave reparations!

I’m all in!

I’ve decided to personally gift £1 million Sterling to every single person my family ever enslaved.

Please form an orderly queue and bring:
• Ironclad documents proving my family personally enslaved you (bonus points if they include my great-great-grandpa’s signature and a Polaroid).
• Your birth certificate proving you were born before Britain abolished slavery on 1 August 1834.
• Proof you’re still alive (the gift can only be claimed in person, no ghosts, no estates, no “my ancestor told me so”).

Oh, and while you’re at it, maybe swing by the local cemetery with a shovel. I’m sure those poor souls buried since the 1800s would appreciate being dug up for their cheque. They’ve waited long enough, right?

Look, if we’re doing “reparations” for historical slavery, let’s do it properly: only to the actual victims. Not their great-great-great-grandchildren who were born free in the 20th or 21st century, sipping oat milk lattes while tweeting about “trauma.”

This isn’t justice, it’s a cosmic-level grift.

It’s like demanding the Roman Empire pay for the roads they built because some distant ancestor got conquered by Caesar. Or billing modern Italians for every Gaul who got turned into a slave 2,000 years ago.

Newsflash: No living person in Britain today was a slave under British law, and no living person in Britain today owned slaves under British law.

The people who suffered are dead. The people who profited are dead.

Their descendants, Black, White, Asian, mixed, whatever had zero say in it.

Chasing “reparations” from random taxpayers (including the descendants of abolitionists, coal miners, and people who arrived after 1834) isn’t healing historical wounds. It’s creating new ones while opening the most hilarious Pandora’s box in human history:

• Should Ireland demand reparations from Britain for the Potato Famine?
• Should Britain demand reparations from Denmark for the Viking slave raids?
• Should Italians bill Mongols for the sack of Baghdad?
• Should every African nation start invoicing each other for the centuries of tribal warfare and slave-trading that predated (and supplied) the transatlantic trade?

Where does the grievance chain end? 1066? The Bronze Age?
Lucy the Australopithecus getting stiffed on her cave rent?

Slavery was a universal human horror, practised by every civilisation from the Egyptians to the Aztecs to the Arabs to the Africans themselves (who sold millions into the trade).

Britain didn’t invent it.
Britain ended it, at massive cost, with the Royal Navy spending decades hunting slave ships while other empires kept right on going.

Demanding cash from people who never owned slaves, to give to people who were never slaves, isn’t “reparations.” It’s retroactive time-travel cosplay with other people’s money. It’s the ultimate participation trophy for historical victimhood: “My ancestor suffered, therefore I deserve a payout… even though I live in a free society with more opportunity than 99.9% of humans who ever lived.”

If you want actual justice, how about this radical idea:
Stop obsessing over who owes whom from 200 years ago, and start judging people by what they do today. Work hard. Build. Create. Don’t inherit grievances like their family heirlooms.

The desire for slavery reparations isn’t righteous anger. It’s lazy, entitled, historically illiterate greed dressed up as moral superiority, demanding a lottery win for a suffering you never endured, from people who never caused it.

My £1 million offer stands.
Just bring the paperwork.

And a time machine.

Muslim Brotherhood society at the University of Manchester(ISoc): "Talking to women takes you to hell. The 7th of October in Israel made more people convert to Islam. Hamas jihadists are martyrs, like Muslims stabbed in London; they are all going to heaven equally."

This is not an ISIS compound in Syria.
This is not al-Qaeda in Sudan Army(SAF).
This is not Wahhabi extremism in Saudi Arabia.

This is the University of Manchester.

We will not send our students there anymore.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Almost unbearable to watch, except through tears of pride and sadness. Britain’s best of the best who fell in Afghanistan — very much on the frontline.
Donald Trump should be force to watch this. Then go down on his knees and ask for their forgiveness.

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

A worker on £35k a year will be £1,400 poorer because of the freeze in income tax

Yet a family with 5 kids on UC will be £10,000 better off.

This is the most unfair budget in my lifetime

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Hi @ShabanaMahmood

Watch this. 4 minutes.

Why are you allowing people like this into our country?

Why are you putting them next to families, schools, children?

[Adam Wren @aswren]

Saying the girls “consent” is absolutely sick, they’re threatened with guns and horrific violence, they’re drugged with heroin and addicted to crack and alcohol. A drugged and panicked teenager can’t “consent” to being raped and tortured by a 40 year old man. This is fucking evil

[Tom Gibson @TomGibson22]

These people are ill

BREAKING: A crowd of Islamists in NYC waving Hamas flags declare that they will presumably carry out attacks in the US.

"We did not act enough! We will show up, stronger than we did the first October 7th!"

But of course the big issue is Robert Jenrick saying he didn’t see any white faces in Birmingham…

Regardless of what happens with Isak, Eddie Howe is the most important person at Newcastle by a distance 💪🏼

[Keith Downie @SkySports_Keith]

🚨 🇸🇬 Eddie Howe says the club’s ownership will decide the future of Alexander Isak:

🗣️ “I've welcomed players back to the group, and I’ve sold players - it's all part of being a football manager. Every situation we will take on an individual basis. 
🗣️ “But there’s a wider picture here. Theres a whole football club that has to make a decision. The manager has an opinion but ultimately the decision rests with the board. Especially with the money involved in modern day transfers.
🗣️ “I see this challenge as part of the job. I’ve had a good grounding at Bournemouth in my early career when any player who did well was gone!
🗣️ “The club will make the right decision with all the information that it has, ultimately to move the club forward. We’re trying to improve the standard as best we can, regardless of Alex’s situation. The team never stands still and that’s always the way it’s been.”

@LukeEdwardsTele @KathrynBatte Luke I’ve got notifications on waiting for a transfer update can you post about Newcastle only?

[Tom Gibson @TomGibson22]

@GBPolitcs Fucking hell 😂😂

@SamC_reports @JoelBlandSport 😂😂 can’t be true then

Full respect to Conservative MP @Katie_Lam_MP.

Putting the ugly truth to Parliament.

Some desperately needed honesty on the rape gangs.

The scenes from Gaza are horrifying.

Palestinians are parading the bodies of Israeli BABIES in coffins, as they blast loud music and celebrate.

What kind of sick society is this?!
