the Rebecca riots were largely peaceful, only 1 woman shot and it's probably because she was incredibly stupid, defending the gates that were causing us all to suffer and starve. I'm named after a man, many men who represented women when they wore dresses, they represented the oppressed. My grandfather told me about how wife beaters would be tied to a wooden horse and paraded through the streets as a humiliation at the hands of the women he sought to oppress, his friends and family carrying him while dressed as women would be humiliating and that was enough!

Browns 'faux pas' when he described a pensioner as a "bigoted woman" because she challenged him on immigration (when he didn't realise his mic was still live) should have stood as a warning. Referring to everyone who has been involved in the recent protests as 'far right' is as bad as anyone who seeks to invalidate another person's opinion by calling them 'a gammon' 'woke' 'snowflake' or 'boomer' etc.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland comprises Scotland England Wales and six counties in the north of Ireland called Northern Ireland. A person from the UK is described as British, and they hold a passport showing them to be a British Citizen. English citizenship as such does not exist. That was what Prescott meant and he was quite correct. Jack Straw never said "the English as a race are not worth saving". He did describe the English as "potentially very aggressive, very violent" and expressed concerns over the rise of English nationalism. There is no verified record of Churchill saying "a nation that has forgotten its past can have no future". So all in all a pretty rubbish post.

David Starkey is one of the finest historians Britain has at this moment, and one of Oldham's finest sons. On top of which he's a master of oratory. I'm still in a daze of admiration at the ease of his eloquent and precise delivery. He really has no equal. It wouldn't surprise me if the New Age Puritans currently in our midst would like him to be locked up. The Tower of London would be fitting; I'm sure David would agree. :-)

As DPP, he shut huge numbers of offices in the CPS, caused stress with his cuts and was a "yes" man to the Home Office and Treasury. In 2024 we have one of the biggest court backlogs in UK history for criminal cases for trial at Crown Court, 76,000. In 2024, he is showing the exact same traits. Roll on 2029 (elections) and we can get rid of him, or hopefully earlier. We have to vote them out and see if Reform offers hope.

Now in the UK you have people from a completely different culture, who cry racism at the first opportunity, and who REFUSE to accept the values of the western countries, such as tolerance and gender equality. It is baffling to me that the people who supposedly champion these rights also turn a blind eye to when these immigrants go against these exact values.
