Gendered words ban: US city's code replaces โmanpowerโ with โhuman effortโ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49036816
What next renaming He-man to They-man?

Oh god
BBCโs War of the Worlds is so fucking woke for no reason: British Empire bad, Brown people good
BBCโs War of the Worlds is so fucking woke, I donโt want anti-Imperial messages in my fiction about Martians invading Southern England
โBritish Empire bad, Brown people goodโ
Ofcourse there were bad things about the Empire I wasnโt staying that there wasnโt, but the preachy, patronising attitude shouldnโt have had a place in a fiction about Martians invading Edwardian England
Especially when the character stating this wokeness was a rich white girl who grew up in British India
What I am saying is when people decide to be anti-Imperial they always use โweโ like โWe were badโ last time I checked my working class ancestors were put to work in factories at young ages, forced to work for barely anything in deadly conditions, but somehow due to the virtue of the melanin in my skin I somehow have privilege
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is good

In 1785, English poet William Cowper wrote:
"We have no slaves at home โ Then why abroad?
Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs
Receive our air, that moment they are free.
They touch our country, and their shackles fall.
That's noble, and bespeaks a nation proud.
And jealous of the blessing. Spread it then,
And let it circulate through every vein."
Fun fact: The Abolition of Slavery movement in the UK during the 18th and 19th centuries produced some great patriotism
In 1785, English poet William Cowper wrote:

We never had many black slaves in the UK anyway
Since why have to feed, clothe and provide shelter for a slave when you can just pay a Working Class peasant a pittance for the same work
I'm talking more about in the 18th and 19th centuries
Since it was cheaper to just get a Working Class person to do the work than get a slave
Since as I said, you have to feed, clothe and provide shelter for said slave
While you could just pay a pittance to the Working class
This is why I don't like SJWs that talk about racism in this country and how the British Empire was racist
Yeah sure, it was during the early period, but there were alot worse, Belgium killed 10 million in a few years, 10 million died over a period of CENTURIES for the British
What about the Abolition of slavery?
and the Blockade of Africa?
Where the British and Americans sent a squadron each to capture slaver ships and free black slaves
Already my favourite quote:
"We have no slaves at home โ Then why abroad?
Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs
Receive our air, that moment they are free.
They touch our country, and their shackles fall.
That's noble, and bespeaks a nation proud.
And jealous of the blessing. Spread it then,
And let it circulate through every vein."
True
Since nowadays
Africa is already fucking bringing it back
Trading little girls in Nigeria
Do we have to go in and stop it again?
Maybe some of these countries were better administered under a British colonial governor
o.O
I didn't say it wasn't racist, theres always racism, but the government actively was against slavery
Thats pretty damn brave for a world of empires that do the exact opposite
Even if the UK was the most powerful empire
Britain took the moral high ground
actively policed the slave trade and won
One British ship (Which was actually a captured Brazilian slave ship) captured more than 7 slave ships and freed hundreds of slaves
Ofcourse, but theres always stains in imperial records
But the fact is that Britain banned it first and policed it
It could've just banned it and not policed it
But the fact Britain actively with the US blockaded Africa
Actually
Anti-slavery movement in the UK came about during the Enlightenment
As more people in high places realised that that the practice was barbaric
"The Committee for the Abolition of the Slave Trade was formed in 1787 by a group of Evangelical English Protestants allied with Quakers, to unite in their shared opposition to slavery and the slave trade. The Quakers had long viewed slavery as immoral, a blight upon humanity. By 1807 the abolitionist groups had a very sizable faction of like-minded members in the British Parliament. At their height they controlled 35โ40 seats. Known as the "Saints", the alliance was led by the best known of the anti-slave trade campaigners, William Wilberforce, who had taken on the cause of abolition in 1787 after having read the evidence that Thomas Clarkson had amassed against the trade. These dedicated Parliamentarians had access to the legal draughtsmanship of James Stephen, Wilberforce's brother-in-law. They often saw their personal battle against slavery as a divinely ordained crusade. On Sunday, 28 October 1787, Wilberforce wrote in his diary: "God Almighty has set before me two great objects, the suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of manners."

"The slave trade had been banned in England in 1102. In a 1569 court case involving Cartwright, who had bought a slave from Russia, the court ruled that English law could not recognise slavery, as it was never established officially. This ruling was overshadowed by later developments. It was upheld in 1700 by Lord Chief Justice Sir John Holt when he ruled that "As soon as a man sets foot on English ground he is free"."
Yeah
In his 1776 A Dissertation on the *Duty of Mercy and Sin of Cruelty to Brute Animals*, the clergyman Humphry Primatt wrote, "the white man (notwithstanding the barbarity of custom and prejudice), can have no right, by virtue of his colour, to enslave and tyrannize over a black man."
Maggie was fine tbf
But I can see Pritti Patel becoming PM after Borisโ terms
Right now I am just glad we have Prime Minister Johnson and not Prime Minister Corbyn
Corbyn: Letโs run on a campaign of Anti-Britishness
Boris: Letโs actually care about the countryโs choice
I was born in London (Moved to Kent when I was 5 back in โ05) so I can call myself a true Londoner (Not the fake Londoners who werenโt even fucking born there and have been there for 2 months)
(Plus I was also born in 1999 Kek)
My opinions are very much rooted in patriotism, as I have read a lot of history and believe that much of what our country has done through centuries shaped the modern democratic world
Maybe thatโs because Iโm not a middle class cunt who decides โeMpIrE bAdโ
Good olโ working class
Well there is when you use your wealth to flout positions and authority in opposition to the majority
E.g. Brexit remainiacs
True, but it seems itโs all the middle class nowadays
They hold the speaking power in the news
When have they ever brought working class leavers that werenโt straw men like in that Channel 4 pub clip during Brexit day?
Never heard of boojie
Well
Why would anyone buy the NHS
Literally retards who want to go broke would buy the NHS
The logic is anti-Tory
I never heard Maggie say that British Gas was not for sale
Hey guys, the Argies are at it again
