Don’t get me wrong. I often addressed concerns exploited by the far-right too about certain communities in our country. I do so not with hostility or stigmatisation that alienates ,but in a constructive manner reflects our principles, promotes integration encourages all to share our nation’s values.

5/5…but integrity demands honesty.The hypocrisy is too glaring,and too painful, to ignore.How can we claim progress if,once free,we replicate the same injustices that once bound us?
My apologies if this sounds angry, but some truths deserve to be spoken plainly before silence becomes complicity.

4/5..the language of the very forces that once sought to exclude them,
even calling for communities of fellow blacks to be stripped of their rights or deported. That is not only a betrayal of solidarity or of history its sheer hypocrisy and opportunism.

I say this not to sow division,

1/5.I’ve held back from saying this for a long time, out of fear that speaking honestly might be seen as divisive but silence feels worse. It’s deeply troubling as old enough to witness a certain segment of a once-oppressed Black community, many of whom were welcomed and supported when they first..

make it possible for them to speak freely in the first place. Without those principles, they wouldn’t have been able to express their views at all. Isn’t that, in itself, a form of hypocrisy?

I attended yesterday’s Together Alliance march in a personal capacity, standing by the principles and values I truly believe in. It didn’t matter to me who the organisers were or their affiliations. The irony? Those now criticising it claim to share the very same values — values that…+

I dare to say I doubt the BBC, for the usual obvious reasons, bothered yesterday to send crews out. Its report, like many others, lifted exact phrases and lazy, vague passages from a Reuters piece.

I heard this argument repeatedly from professionals in the field yesterday, which only made me wonder: whatever happened to our old-school methods of estimating protest crowds? Measure the space, assess the density, and verify it from multiple vantage points. Simple, transparent, and accountable?!

4/4 .. Their experiences are dismissed, and no agency seems willing to hold the perpetrators or complicit systems accountable.

3/4…punishes travellers from developing countries. Most victims of these scams and unjust transit visa schemes, facing inflated fees and opaque regulations, are left helpless unable to have their cases reviewed or even bring the matter before a proper watchdog….

2/4..fees. These scams often exploit the confusion created and deservedly named after the then “Tony Blair” immigration fences around Europe systems that many transit hubs have turned into profit‑driven cash grabs. What began as border control has become a mechanism that unfairly burdens and ..+

1/4 The case of the elderly couple who fell victim to a fake travel scam isn’t an isolated event,nor is it limited to older or less tech‑savvy people. I’ve come across a similar issue involving a reputable company operating from a hub Europe, which uses misleading omissions about travel rules and…++

…humour and more like I’m implying something negative, as if one trying to draw attention to or undermine someone with malicious intent. Don’t you think it can come across that way?

I don’t really use or perhaps just don’t know how to use sarcasm, winks, or clever innuendos in my comments or replies. I prefer to speak plainly, even if it comes across as simple or a bit silly at times. Whenever I try to use that kind of subtle hinting, it feels less like..+

5/5…It’s less “who enslaved whom” and more “who’s currently pretending not to remember,” which, frankly, might be the most British skill of all.

4/5…So now you’ve got centuries of selective memory, polite silence, and world-class manners doing what they do best: avoiding awkward conversations. Not denying history outright — oh no, that would be rude , just quietly side-stepping it like it’s a puddle outside Buckingham Palace.

3/5…Then, of course, the script flips, and England later becomes deeply involved in shipping other people across the Atlantic — at which point everyone suddenly develops very strong opinions about whose suffering counts the most.

2/5…meant stealing a teenager from Roman Britain.
Meanwhile, the English aren’t exactly lining up to advertise that they also had ancestors who got enslaved at various points. History, apparently, is a buffet where everyone just picks the flattering dishes.

The hypocrisy on this island is beyond entertaining if you happen to read the Beeb analysis of this vote.

1/5…The Irish proudly celebrate St. Patrick every March, but rarely mention that their beloved saint was, in fact, a Brit — kidnapped by Irish raiders back when “tourism”… +++

**15/15.** If you witnessed it, you know — England is still extraordinary. Unparalleled. Luminous. 🌹
#TogetherAlliance #Solidarity #EnglandUnites

**14/15** Yesterday wasn’t the end. It was a spark. The marchers vowed to gather again, larger, louder, brighter this May.

**13/15** They missed the truth: this wasn’t some partisan crusade. It was a living declaration that England still stands for fairness — luminous, undivided, resolute.

**12/15.** And yet mainstream media — the BBC among them — looked away. Nothing collapsed. No fights to film. Just peace, purpose, and thousands of smiling faces. Too hopeful, perhaps, to fit the narrative.

**11/15.** For me, faith was restored. Not the faith of flags or politics, but the faith in human decency — that quiet power of people simply choosing kindness over cruelty.

**10/15** Those who predicted division were proved wrong. Migrants and locals didn’t clash; they blended. The crowd was the real portrait of this country — multicultural, intertwined, indivisible.

**9/15** It wasn’t Woodstock. It wasn’t nostalgia. It was *now*. A rebirth of the English spirit that refuses to bend to bitterness.
