I think Farage’s far right etc barely concealed agenda is to make Britain white again. That is what I think they mean when they say ‘We want our country back” Whilst they claim not to be racist, I think that they don't have the courage of their convictions. They're promoting racism then denying it. They're being just as dishonest with the public as most other politicians. If some British people want to vote for racist policies representinng genuine democratic demand then I say lets adopt PR and allow racists to have their voice. Personally, I'd prefer to have them elected and tested in the public arena, out front where we can see them. If Make Britain White Again is what Farage really wants they should say so and stop deceiving the public with double speak and denials. Be honest and say so openly and stop denying their racism and simply own it. There's is what I hear from them. Ban Islam. Close all Mosques. Stop all immigration to the UK for all Black and Brown people. Stop the small boats using the British Navy. Deport all ‘foreign’ criminals. Leave the European Convention of Human Rights. That's my take, whats yours? Should there be room for an openly racist party to be elected in the UK?

Education and Truth My name is Pauly Skerrett, and I was born in 1975. My early years were spent in Enfield Lock, an area that, during my childhood, reflected the turbulent racial dynamics of the time. A particularly vivid and painful memory is of a Christmas when a rock was thrown through our window, striking my younger sister on the head. We knew the perpetrators: a group of local boys who subjected us to a barrage of racial slurs and abuse daily. The names they called me were harsh reminders of the intolerance that permeated the community. Terms like the N-word, "coon," and "Nig Nog" were part of the lexicon of hate directed at us. We often found threatening graffiti on our door, telling us to leave or featuring the letters "NF." While some might claim these stood for the National Front, we understood the real intent: "N**** F*** Off." Although some assert that the National Front has disbanded, the reality is that such ideologies don’t simply vanish; they evolve and rebrand. Groups like the British National Party (BNP) and the English Defence League (EDL), as well as other far-right movements, often carry forward similar agendas under different names. Understanding the history of these groups is crucial. The National Front, for example, was most active in the 1970s and 1980s, advocating for the repatriation of immigrants and stirring racial tensions. The British National Party, formed in 1982, and the English Defence League, which emerged in 2009, have both campaigned on anti-immigration and nationalist platforms, often resulting in public unrest and division. It’s important to recognize that these organizations, regardless of their name or structure, share a common thread of intolerance. Their presence and influence underscore the need for continued vigilance and education about the dangers of racism and extremism in our society. #AntiRacism #StopRacism #StandAgainstHate #EndRacism #EqualityForAll #NoPlaceForHate #CommunityStrength #UnityInDiversity #KnowYourHistory #RejectHate #TogetherWeRise #LoveOverHate #EducationAgainstHate #FightForJustice #StandUpToRacism

In the face of recent far-right violence, Sir Keir Starmer's government has risen to the challenge with decisive action. Their swift response echoes Churchill's timeless words: "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." Our security forces, the heroes of this turbulent time, have shown extraordinary courage. Despite limited resources, they stand as a bulwark against those who would sow discord and hatred in our communities. Their sacrifice reminds us of the price of freedom and the valor required to preserve it. Equally inspiring are the British people themselves. Flooding the streets in peaceful protest against far-right extremism, they embody the very essence of our national character - resilient, united, and unwavering in the face of adversity. This groundswell of solidarity reaffirms my faith in the UK's commitment to justice and equality. Living in the UK, I am constantly reminded of its unique beauty - not just in its rolling hills and historic cities, but in the compassion, unity, and respect that form the bedrock of our society. These values stand in stark contrast to the violence and thuggery we've witnessed. As an adopted citizen, I am more convinced than ever that this great nation will not bow to racial hatred or succumb to the false allure of superiority that plagues other parts of the world. We stand united against extremism in all its forms. Together, we ensure that the UK remains a beacon of hope, diversity, and strength - a shining example to the world of what can be achieved when people of all backgrounds come together in pursuit of a just and harmonious society. As we move forward, let us remember another of Churchill's powerful assertions: "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." In these challenging times, may we have the courage to do both. #unitedagainsthate #standtogether #peaceandunity #beautifulbritain #notoviolence #diversityisstrength #proudtobebritish

Today, as we observe the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, we reflect on the legacy of historic slavery and the ongoing fight against modern slavery. While the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade was a significant milestone, the harsh reality is that millions still endure exploitation and abuse today. In the words of William Wilberforce, a champion of abolition, "You may choose to look the other way, but you may never again choose to be ignorant." This quote resonates deeply as we confront the reality of modern slavery, urging us to recognise and act against this grave injustice. At Medaille Trust, we are dedicated to supporting survivors and empowering them on their path to freedom. It is imperative that we honour the past by continuing the fight for justice today. Together, we can strive for a world free from all forms of slavery. #EndSlavery #MedailleTrust #AbolishSlavery #HumanRights https://lnkd.in/gtnp-2v2

I have a confession to make. I'm a Texiteer. Saturday was the anniversary of the Republic of Texas. Not the State of Texas, the Republic. Many may be unaware that Texas was a sovereign nation for almost ten years before we joined the Union. Don't get me wrong, I am constantly amazed by the foresight of the founding fathers. I own a copy of the constitution. And so far, in spite of recent and past attempts on it, it seems to be holding strong. Ever since I was a kid, I've felt a sense of pride in this nation. I've tried to communicate that to my kids, too, which seems to be harder to do these days, given the major headwinds of the anti-pride types. And there are a lot who, instead of getting on with their lives, it seems like there only job is to all too eagerly point the finger and scream, "He's a witch! He's a witch! Burn him!". No doubt based on perverse attempts at opportunism backed by their own insecurity, envy, resentment and greed at the expense of others. That black/white mentality that seeks to condemn rather than understand. To those that suffer from these delusions because of their own severe insecurities desperately needing outside feedback to confirm where they stand in the world, I say to you, the world is grey! And I'm sure that won't make it any better for you to hear that, but it doesn't change it. As far as this nation is concerned, there is a mechanism for peacefully dissolving or reforming this nation. It's called a constitutional convention, and it takes two thirds of the States to convene, and three-quarters to ratify. But it can be done and it's perfectly legal and I'd argue it could be considered patriotic, as let's face it, it was put in by the founding fathers as a bloodless way to say we, meaning the states, agree to disagree so much, that we can cross those thresholds and we, the states, can decide to reform or go our separate ways. We tend to have this....miss view of the States as being wholly subjugated to the Federal government, but I'd argue, not unlike the EU, we are a collection of Nations. Certainly, the first 13 Colonies after the war but before even the Articles of Confederation, could, perhaps not in name, have been considered independent nations. For the simple fact that during that short time until any deal was signed, they did indeed have a level of sovereignty, in fact, the highest a land mass and its inhabitants can have. And like Britain just did, I guarantee you EVERY country that entered that EU contract,...the first thing they all said was, "Ok, but if this doesn't work out, how do we get out?" And look at the crap France and Germany gave them! Still giving them. The bar should be high, but not impossible. The founding fathers knew that. And, sure, it'd be sad if it ended. But we had a good run. About 250 years. More than most. However,... likely what'll push it to happen, may have more to do with national debt than political disagreement. https://lnkd.in/gKEJpHnz
