The magnificent #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> protests are proof of structural racism around the world...

Colonial wrongdoing was often rewarded with wealth and a peerage… Our ludicrous system means that this chap #Trenchard https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten"> gets to make our laws in part because his grandfather liked to burn villages in #Nigeria. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😧" title="Schmerzgeplagtes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schmerzgeplagtes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Erhobene Faust" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇺" title="Flagge der Europäischen Union" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Europäischen Union">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇳🇬" title="Flagge von Nigeria" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Nigeria"> #SystemChange #ToriesOut #COVID19 https://twitter.com/paddydocherty/status/1248394361248731145">https://twitter.com/paddydoch...

Many Empire apologists resort to the “bad apple” defence when faced with obvious psychopathy by colonial officials… If you’ve ever been tempted to use that excuse, please read about Major General Callwell… https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧐" title="Gesicht mit Monokel" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Monokel">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Erhobene Faust" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇺" title="Flagge der Europäischen Union" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Europäischen Union"> #resist #ColonialViolence #BritishEmpire #ToriesOut https://twitter.com/paddydocherty/status/1251553279500320770">https://twitter.com/paddydoch...

To have any chance of turning the UK into a decent society, we must therefore recognise the true basis of the privileges enjoyed by the Establishment… Sweeping reform and #reparations are essential..! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😀" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✊" title="Erhobene Faust" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Faust">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇺" title="Flagge der Europäischen Union" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Europäischen Union"> #ToriesOut #reparations #SystemChange #resist
