- 🧵A @reformparty_uk Cllr has resigned after calling his neighbour, a Black British family the N-word, threatening to unleash the EDL on them, saying there’d be in “Black body bags.” This isn’t one man’s disgrace. It is a glimpse into the ugly soul of Reform UK.
- English Black citizen Ms Agyemang from an African migrant family epitomises all that's best about multicultural Britain.Michelle Agyemang. Young Player of the Tournament. 👏
- 1/ Britain didn’t abolish slavery out of compassion—it was about profits & power. For centuries, enslaved Africans fought back, forcing Britain to spend millions on military garrisons just to suppress rebellion. The system collapsed under the weight of its own violence. 🧵
- So @metpoliceuk set up Boombox music shop using black undercover officers to lure in young Black people with freebies and inducements, then casually asked them to get drugs for their influential music mates. 35 convicted. Straight up entrapment #Boombox apple.news/AWWXUbtTjSRiBu…
- We have it on good authority that the black English players told Gareth they wouldn't attend the PM's shindig at no 10. The words 'Boris is cancelled' were used aggressively. #Euro2020Final #BlackLivesMatterI’m told that plans to have the England team to Downing Street for a reception this week have been shelved, with attention turning instead to the PM’s levelling up speech in a few days.
- All for allyship, but when the Met rehearsed this abuse of power at Notting Hill Carnival, we couldn't hear a peep out of Republicans and environmentalists. The state practises its abuses first on 'unpopular minorities' and then, when perfected, imposes them on everybody.
- This is Mohamud Mohammed Hassan arrested by @SWPCardiff died after his release, it’s clear he suffered a horrendous beating. The family will be launching a justice campaign in due course. This shit is relentless. #Cardiff #BlackLivesMatter #Justice4Mohamud
- A🧵on #RaceRiot Sunday. As a Black community we always knew that when the white working class figured out they were lied to over Brexit their impotence would result in them blaming Muslims. Blacks, asylum seekers anyone but the ruling class and the bankers. So said, so done.
- A little bird at the @ukhomeoffice tells us @pritipatel has asked Civil Service to scope a policy paper on the restoration of the death penalty in the #NewYear2021 and the #Tories have the majority to do just that. #DeathPenality
- Labour’s descent into Trump cosplay is complete. “Build, Baby, Build” isn’t policy, it’s a slogan scavenged from the rubble of right-wing Americana. In trying to out-Farage Farage, they’ve abandoned politics for pantomime. This isn’t leadership. It’s cultural surrender.Build Baby Build🇬🇧
00:00 - It's St Georges's Day and this is England. This coward of a man targets Muslim women and spits his disgusting racism with all the venom of a genuine British fascist. Let's make him famous. Who is he? #StGeorgesDay 🏴

- We circulated a detailed dossier on @TRobinsonNewEra to diplomatic and civil-society partners across BRICS and Global South’s, London Embassies. The response shows the case for denying international travel to convicted racist agitators is now understood and gaining traction.🚨🚨 Tommy Robinson has been arrested and deported on arrival in Columbia and Panama after he arrived for a holiday following his fusnraising efforts at the "Unite the Kingdom" rally. This is literally countries refusing entry to a violent criminal. He should be all for this.
00:00 - 15-year-old Rolan Adams was slaughtered by a gang of racists in Thamesmede, South London, in 1991. The BNP called a national 'white heroes march' to celebrate Rolan's racist killers. Stephen Lawrence attended the counter-demo. We may have forgotten Rolan, but Stephen never did.
