On the topic of reparative justice. In June 1897, 2000 former slaves paraded in the Seychelles celebrating Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, carrying Union Jack flags printed with the words ‘The Flag that sets us free.’ All been rescued by the Royal Navy from the East African slave trade. In their public address, translated from Creole, they stated: “Kindly, Sir, express to the Queen our thanks for our freedom and to England our gratitude to those English Sailors who were killed and wounded, fighting that we might be free.” The slavery abolition Act had been enacted over six decades prior.
"There's a very long litany of people not being held to account." Double MOBO award winning musician Soweto Kinch explains why he thinks the UK should engage in 'reparative justice' for its involvement in the slave trade.

If you want to know why the Govt has told you to stockpile, it may have more to do with this than any other threat we face.
New documents released by the Scottish government under a freedom of information request show that data centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts. Sky's @emmabirchley explains. trib.al/ViooyB0 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233

Maybe this international break has come at the right time for this football club. So much to sort. So much for Parker & his team to work on and get stuck into. That today was fucking awful. Shit fitness levels, shit players. Club don’t deserve the support it gets.

We have a goalkeeper and two CB’s who look like conceding with every attack.

You can’t blame the new management for today’s result. They haven’t been here long enough to get their philosophy across. But I will blame them for starting Hermanson - when it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see how poor he has been. Roberto & McKnight’s form!

Hermansen doesn’t even stick his arm out…if he does he saves that. Honestly hermansen is worse than roberto. Parker has to drop him

Mads Hermansen has faced just 10 shots in his last THREE games. 8 have beaten him. An absolutely damning statistic. Almost every shot is finding the back of the net. West Ham are effectively playing without a goalkeeper. This simply cannot continue.

Clip 1: Watch Kilmans "recovery sprint" Clip 2: Another day Mav has played in their striker again... Huge chunk of luck here Ill tell you again and again - neither are anywhere good enough to play for West Ham United.... Hammer of the fucking year?

Well we can hang that on Hermansen. Woeful on both goals. When your keeper cannot save anything you're not getting promoted.

Parker has a big job on his hands to turn these weak useless players into a good team capable of going up. They look Sunday league.

In the EFL Championship, the usual target for avoiding relegation is around 50 points. 27 points to safety!

This is going to get very ugly very quickly.
"You're not fit to wear the shirt" sing angry West Ham fans following the the loss to Blackburn Rovers. #WHUFC
