I watched Russell Brand @rustyrockets on the @jimmyfallon show the other night—what the hell do people see in Russell—a major loser!

Well done Everton. Much better than Newcastle. Nothing at all from the Toon. Very very poor. 🤬

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

They want Britain to apologise for the slave trade. Here is the apology.

Britain took on fifty nations. African kings. Arab sultans.
Bombarded ports. Deposed rulers who refused. Lost 1,600 men. Spent 40% of the entire Treasury.
A debt so big it wasn't paid off until 2015. You or your parents were still paying for it.
Not for land. Not for gold.
To end the slave trade.
They captured 1,600 ships. Freed 150,000 people. Patrolled 3,000 miles of coastline for sixty years.
And none of it was the government's idea. It was 400,000 ordinary people who signed petitions and 300,000 families who refused to buy sugar.
They forced Parliament's hand. Your ancestors changed the world and nobody told you.
