This isn't about slavery at all
If it was, these campaigners would be fighting for the millions of Africans in MODERN slavery
This is a cash grab by the Caribbean and an attack on Britain & The West by activists
No one today is a victim of Britain's slave trade

Things I’d rather do than watch Derby currently:
Wank with sandpaper
Cheese grate my balls
Watch paint dry
Join a cult
Take up cycling
Be stuck in a room with Jeffrey Dahmer
Slab a patio with Fred & Rose West
Have 12 rounds in the ring with Tyson Fury
Wash my eyes with bleach

People are cutting back on absolutely everything.
They're buying supermarket own brands, driving less, cancelling subscriptions, staying in instead of going out and putting off purchases until they can justify the expense.
They're making sacrifices that would have seemed ridiculous a few years ago just to keep their heads above water.
But when wages disappear into rent, council tax, energy bills, food and transport, even the strictest budget can only do so much.
You shouldn't have to give up every little thing that makes life enjoyable just to afford the essentials.
If working full-time still means you can't afford to live comfortably, maybe the problem isn't your spending habits. Maybe the system is broken.

Suicide and men.
New suicide figures have been published by @ONS: 5,738 suicides were registered for England in 2025.
75% were in men. 1 in 65 men die by suicide.
Sometimes when I'm invited to talk about mental health, I ask a question at the end. "How many of you (mixed crowd) struggle with mental health issues?".
Maybe one or two in a room of a couple of hundred. Then when everyone leaves, often 10-20 guys will come over and say "I do".
Men still have a problem opening up about their mental health, all ages, because the message society still sends is, "it's weakness".
October, for some reason is the worst month of the year for me. I go from running 20kph and flying through summer ( well, better than October) to what I can only describe is a descent into every mental health stereotype.
Anxiety
Fear
No energy ( chronic)
Hypersomnia ( 28 hours isn't uncommon)
Insomnia
Suicidal ideation
And then the voice pops up. "You could end this here and now ". It's really difficult to explain to anyone who's never had suicidal ideation what it exactly is.
Because I run and keep fit I "know" my fitness will pull me through, but many are stuck in a cycle. Maybe use food or alcohol to look for a dopamine hit ( serious mental health issues literally take away your ability to feel anything, an omnipresent numbness), maybe drugs, maybe exercise, maybe work, many even cut themselves to try to feel something.
In that context, saying" I'll end it here and now " becomes a relief. It's certainly no cry for help because you've mostly already tried everything and still the black dog comes.
Right now I'm at the gym, forced myself to push through but I know a 28 hour sleep may be incoming and that "why don't you..." voice starts to get louder.
I've put this out there over 20 years on here so thus isn't for any purpose other than to show that someone who's in the top 1% of health and fitness is as prone to this quite frightening drop off, seemingly from nowhere, so if this is you, you have that voice, then know it's an illness that strikes many, and unfortunately takes a few along the way. I'm lucky, many took the literal leap because the fear is all consuming.
There us help, lots of charities I here @MindBodySoleUK @MindCharity @CharitySANE are but a few.
But those stats at the top are sobering, and are holding steady.
If someone you know is struggling or you think they are, please reach out to them. If you are struggling, please reach out to friends and family.

Yes, but why are fuel prices REALLY high, Prime Minister?
Which is the only country mad enough to be pursuing net zero and buying its oil and gas abroad? 🤯
And pretending that leaves no carbon footprint.
Which is the Government which could slash fuel duty to help people? Instead, it provides some gimmick to help people find the cheapest option - still extortionate compared to prices elsewhere.
Britons deserve better leadership.
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

Andy, this has got to be a joke. Around half of the cost of petrol is composed of tax that you impose. At the current average UK petrol price of 174.7p per litre, around £23.49 of every £50 spent on petrol goes to your Government in tax - 47% of the total bill. If you were serious about cutting the cost of fuel, you would reduce the tax.

Almost all of these joyful young women were so savagely butchered on October 7th by Hamas devils they were not in a fit state to be shown to their parents.
A nose ring the only thing left in a face without a face.
A knife all the way through a head.
Genitals … you don’t want to know.
If we can’t name evil when it so clearly identifies itself then who are we?
Go on, march for that.
