Sounds more like an apology for British comedy
Greta Thunberg has announced a new partnership with Lenny Henry which will see the much loved duo combine comedy and activism to get an apology for British slavery. Lenny said: ‘Our aim is to get a global apology from the Prime Minister for Britain’s past and then we can look at reparations. Somewhere in the £3bn mark we are thinking’ he ninetaled

French journalist Paul Amar: “They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners. In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”

It was great to finally have someone admit the truth: climate doomerism is about one world government, ending democracy and impoverishing the world. The idea that we must impoverish humanity to save it is not just absurd, it's a suicide pact. Sovereign nations will never accept it, and people will never vote for it. I don't believe in suicide for token gestures towards not solving a problem you're claiming to solve.

The rights of the family are prior to those of the State, and it is the family and not the state which is the seat of culture and the basis of the nation.
Give me one good argument why private schools should exist?

This guy is terrific Please listen to this
It’s all gone quiet hasn’t it? The mainstream media were all too keen to fill their pages and air time with lurid details of Ann Widdecombe’s murder, right up until the point where counter terrorism police took over the investigation and her alleged killer was discovered to be a far-left nutjob...

🚨Kevin De Bruyne on Lionel Messi missing out on the Best Player of the Tournament award to Rodri. 🗣️ Kevin De Bruyne: “First of all, congratulations to Rodri because he had an outstanding tournament and he’s one of the best midfielders in the world. But if you’re asking me who I believe was the best player at this World Cup, my answer is Lionel Messi.” “At 39 years old, what Messi produced was extraordinary. Most players at that age are thinking about retirement, but he was still deciding games, creating chances out of nothing, and carrying the expectations of an entire nation on his shoulders.” “I’ve played against the best players in football, and I understand how difficult it is to perform consistently at the highest level. What Messi did throughout this tournament wasn’t just about statistics—it was about controlling games, changing moments, and making the impossible look simple.” “People will remember who officially won the award, and that’s football. But when fans look back at this World Cup years from now, they’ll remember Messi’s performances, the goals, the assists, the dribbles, and the moments where he reminded everyone why he’s one of the greatest players this sport has ever seen.” “For me, individual awards don’t always tell the full story. Sometimes football gives you a trophy, and sometimes it gives you something even bigger—the admiration of the entire football world. Messi earned that again in this tournament.” “I have enormous respect for Rodri, but if I had a vote, it would’ve gone to Lionel Messi. He didn’t need another individual award to prove his greatness. His football throughout this World Cup already did that.”

🗣️ Lamine Yamal: "O tarihin en iyisi ve her zaman hayranlık duyduğum biri. Maç sonunda ona saygımı gösterdim. Bana yoluma devam etmemi ve geleceğin bizim kuşağımıza ait olduğunu söyledi. Bu sözler, boynumdaki altın madalya kadar değerli."

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.

Javier Mascherano on why Lionel Messi broke down in tears after the final whistle against Spain in the FIFA World Cup final. 🗣️ Javier Mascherano: “After the match, I went straight to Leo. I hugged him and didn’t say anything for a few seconds because I knew there were no words that could take away that pain. When he finally spoke to me, he said something that broke my heart.” “He told me, ‘Jefe, these tears aren’t because we lost the World Cup. Of course losing hurts, but that’s not what’s breaking me. I’m crying because this might be the last time I ever wear the Argentina shirt. That’s the pain I can’t accept.’” “When he said those words, I couldn’t hold back my own tears. People think footballers only cry because they lose trophies. They don’t understand. Sometimes you’re crying because you know a chapter of your life the most beautiful chapter is coming to an end.” “I’ve known Leo for almost my entire career. I’ve seen him lift trophies, lose finals, face criticism and silence the world. But I’ve never seen him look the way he looked that night. It wasn’t the face of a man defeated by Spain. It was the face of a man saying goodbye to the jersey he loves more than anything.” “He kept looking at the Argentina badge on his chest. He touched it, kissed it and whispered, ‘I gave you everything I had.’ There wasn’t a single person in that dressing room who could look at him without crying.” “If that truly was his last match for Argentina, then the world didn’t witness the end of a football career it witnessed the final page of the greatest international story this sport has ever known. No trophy can measure what Lionel Messi gave to his country. He didn’t leave with just tears in his eyes; he left having given every last piece of his heart to Argentina.

✉️🇦🇷 Leo Messi’s letter. “𝑳𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍 𝑴𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊’𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓. ❤️‍🩹🥺 The pain is immense, it will take time for this wound to heal. But I also choose to hold on to all the good things, all matches we turned around by giving everything and moments that will remain in our memories forever. I will always remember the support of an entire country that, together with the work and effort of this group, brought us back once again among the best teams in the world. Today, it is difficult to appreciate what we achieved… but this group has really reached two consecutive World Cup finals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every greeting and every message. Once again, we managed to come together as a country and stand united, sharing the immense pride of being Argentine. I also want to congratulate Spain on winning World Cup”. 🇪🇸

One of the best defenses of free speech you will ever hear. And she does it without notes.
The late great Ann Widdecombe defending free speech at the Oxford Union. This is worth your time.

I find it so very depressing that there are people in Britain who believe now is the right time to insult, degrade and abuse Ann Widdecombe. Leave it.
