Absolutely excellent history for reparations seekers
They want Britain to apologise for the slave trade. Here is the apology. #history

Le riprese fatte da un eurodeputato polacco mostrano che gli agenti di polizia che impedivano l’accesso alla Corte Costituzionale ieri notte NON AVEVANO I NUMERI DI MATRICOLA sui caschi e non capivano le domande loro rivolte in polacco. Da dove arrivavano quegli agenti? Da quale governo erano stati mandati?
🚨NEW FOOTAGE: 🇵🇱 POLISH MEP AND CONFEDERATION OF THE POLISH CROWN LEADER GRZEGORZ BRAUN: “IS THIS EVEN THE POLICE, OR A GANG OF IMPOSTORS?!” POLISH POLITICIANS ARE NOW QUESTIONING THE IDENTITIES OF OFFICERS DEPLOYED OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY’S CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL. During the tense nighttime confrontation in Warsaw, MEP Grzegorz Braun filmed riot police standing in formation outside the Constitutional Tribunal. Braun pointed to officers whose helmets appeared to lack visible identification numbers or markings, raising doubts about whether everyone in the formation could be properly identified. “IS THIS EVEN THE POLICE, OR A GANG OF IMPOSTORS?!” His allegation was echoed by Polish politician Włodzimierz Skalik, who described attempting to obtain an officer’s identification number. Skalik claimed that the officer appeared not to understand Polish and turned to another officer for an explanation. “HE GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING TO HIM — THAT HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND POLISH.” The allegations come amid Poland’s escalating constitutional confrontation, with President Karol Nawrocki and opposition politicians challenging the government’s actions surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal. THE CONTROVERSY NOW EXTENDS BEYOND WHO CONTROLS THE COURT — TO WHETHER THE OFFICERS ENFORCING SECURITY CAN BE INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIED. Some helmets and shields in the footage visibly carry police markings, while other identification details are obscured or difficult to distinguish. There is no verified evidence in the footage that the officers are impostors or foreign personnel. SHOULD EVERY OFFICER DEPLOYED AT A CONSTITUTIONAL COURT BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE — ESPECIALLY DURING A DISPUTE OVER THE LEGALITY OF THE OPERATION?

Sweet. It's a 1 megawatt nuclear microreactor that fits in a shipping container. Gas-cooled, first by helium, then air. Runs for five years, then you ship it back to the factory, where they take care of the spent fuel and refuel it.
BREAKING: For the first time in American history, the Department of Energy has approved a commercial nuclear microreactor's safety analysis for full-power operations. LA-based Radiant secured the approval, with testing planned at Idaho National Laboratory.

Can confirm.
.@POTUS: "I did speak to him. He said that he has a big problem with Haiti... They killed some of his people. I said, 'You're running your country. You have to do what you have to do.'"

In this abbey in France, nuns have been restoring old books for over 70 years. The Benedictine sisters of Maumont Abbey run a full workshop and their craft is bookbinding, gilding and restoration. Centuries-old books arrive damaged, torn and crumbling, and they restore them all by hand to last another hundred years.

This video is a viral sensation in France and across the EU, on YouTube, TikTok and X. Because we’re all sick of the constant lies from our leaders and ridiculously blaming Russia for every single problem they have themselves caused. It’s such a shame that we cannot make this number 1.

UK police take note, you can stand up to a traitorous government.
🇵🇱 Extremely urgent: REVOLT WITHIN THE POLISH POLICE. Polish police officers are beginning to defy orders from the Tusk government en masse. There are reports of a revolt and extremely low morale. A police union is accusing the government of using the police for political purposes and is opposing the actions of those in power. Tusk is in serious trouble.

This history should be plastered across our MSM.
In 1830 HMS PRIMROSE captured Spanish Slaver Velos Passagera rescuing 555 Africans destined for slavery. PRIMROSE was part of the Royal Navy's West Africa Sqn tasked with anti-slavery duties. Between 1808-60 the RN intercepted 1,600 slave ships, freeing over 150,000 Africans

🚨INCREDIBLE: A 3-year-old was kidnapped from a public library. 48 minutes later, he was on a city bus crying next to his kidnapper — and no one knew. No one except the bus driver. In Milpitas, California, driver Tim Watson had heard the police alert earlier that day: Missing 3-year-old boy, city-wide search underway. Then a man boarded his bus with a small boy who wouldn't stop crying. Something felt wrong. Tim looked closer. The face. The clothes. The description. It was him. But he couldn't scream. He couldn't confront him. One wrong move and that little boy could be in even more danger. So Tim came up with a plan. He got on the intercom and told passengers: "Someone reported a missing green backpack, I'm going to take a quick look." He started walking the aisle, pretending to search for a backpack — but he was really getting a close look at the child. It was the missing boy. Tim quietly radioed dispatch, alerted police, and then did the hardest thing of all — he sat back down, stayed calm, and kept driving like nothing happened, with the alleged kidnapper sitting just feet behind him. He kept that bus rolling until police intercepted it. Officers swarmed the bus, arrested the man, and scooped that terrified little boy into safety. That child is home with his family tonight because one bus driver trusted his gut and stayed cool under pressure. He's not a cop. He's not a hero who was supposed to be there. He's Tim Watson — a bus driver who saw a child in danger and refused to look away. This man deserves to be recognized.🙏

Smash windows, spray red paint all over a building, cause £212,000 of criminal damage. Found guilty. Suspended sentences for the leftists and Muslims who did it. Contrast that with 2 years for stickers, 2 years for throwing an empty water bottle etc bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxvg…

Everyone's finally realizing that the Jedi were evil in 2026 but I figured it out in 2005 when I watched ROTS and walked out thinking Anakin was right Anakin 'turned evil' because he: -loved his mom -loved his wife -was stronger than the whole Council -noticed the system was corrupt and broken The Jedi knew he was the Chosen One and still wouldn't make him a Master, because he was better than them The Jedi: 'We can't punish the Sand People, Anakin. With midichlorian counts that low, they didn't know what they were doing.' 
Anakin: 'Then I'll take care of it myself.' And the Empire? It ended the war, kept order, and ran on merit instead of a Council that took 1,000 years to do nothing He did nothing wrong He just did what the Council was too weak to do Order 66 wasn't a betrayal. It was a performance review Long live the Empire

“WE WILL BE GERMANY’S END” 🇩🇪☪️ A pro-Palestine migrant attacks a German woman right in front of the police: “FU** GERMANY. There is no such thing as a (German) people! You lost the war.” He speaks flawless German. This is the prime example of a “well-integrated” migrant. REMIGRATION will have to go further than we thought.

Poland - the moment a government agent was caught by patriots. He was attempting to stage a provocation among the protesters. Tusk’s government will stop at nothing.

anthropic is about to watermark the text claude writes for you, worldwide, starting tuesday. the detector goes to regulators, journalists and big enterprises. everyone except the person who paid for the text. so your cold email, your linkedin post, the resume you rewrote three times can get flagged as claude by some hr tool or editor, and you can't even run the check yourself to see what they'll see. openai only does this in the eu. anthropic rolled it out everywhere. you pay them monthly and they build a snitch layer on top of your work.
Claude gonna start snitching on Tuesday. Anthropic just emailed customers. Starting Nov 3, text carries an invisible watermark. You can't see it. It survives copy and paste, and it can survive some editing. Only regulators, journalists, fact-checkers and researchers can check for it right now. It doesn't say who you are. It says Claude touched the words. Even a quick proofread counts. If your brand voice runs on Claude, write like someone might check. Because now someone can.

A video showing a Merseyside Police officer striking a youth during an arrest in Speke, Liverpool, on Friday night is being widely shared. Merseyside Police say they have received a complaint and their professional standards department is reviewing it. Right or wrong, it's a 12-second clip. We don't see what happened before. So I’ll wait for further information.. if you have any post it below! 👇
