En arrivant au Brésil et en étant témoin de l'esclavage de près, Charles Darwin écrivit : « Près de Rio de Janeiro, ma voisine d'en face était une vieille dame qui possédait des vis-pouces avec lesquelles elle écrasait les doigts de ses esclaves. Dans une maison où j'avais séjourné auparavant, un jeune serviteur mulâtre était, chaque jour et à toute heure, insulté, battu et pourchassé avec une fureur capable de décourager jusqu'au plus vil des animaux. J'ai vu un enfant de six ou sept ans frappé à la tête avec un fouet (avant que je puisse intervenir) parce qu'il m'avait servi un verre d'eau légèrement trouble... Et ce sont là des actes commis par des hommes qui prétendent aimer leur prochain comme eux-mêmes, qui croient en Dieu, et qui prient pour que Sa volonté soit faite sur terre ! Le sang bout dans nos veines et nos cœurs s'emballent quand nous songeons que nous, les Anglais, et nos descendants américains avec leurs cris fanfarons pour la liberté, avons été et sommes encore coupables de cet énorme crime. » (Charles Darwin, Le Voyage du Beagle)

A definition of #Democracy = Elected Government Representatives acting on the #policalwill of its citizens. Uhm ... where is there such a government in operation?

It's so amazing that corporate written #equalitypolicies that no one can explain what is meant in practice, can be #scapegoated in a vain attempt to explain away #poorpolicing on the #frontline. What next!?

Now this is the kind of energy the world needs. ❤️🥹 This man was simply out exercising, but he took a moment to encourage and celebrate a little kid. Those small acts of kindness can leave a lasting impact. I love this kind of people. 🥹❤️🙏

Fife residents & conservationists are campaigning to prevent plans for a giant AI data centre in rural Fife. It’s one of the world’s biggest AI data centres. It has been calculated that it would use the energy of more than 50% of Scotland's households. No one voted for this.

He knows his constituency well enough alright… 🤣

Well done to @cleanupbritain 👏🏾 Get that reported quickly. Perpetrators do this because inadequate #statutoryservices are not watching. Thanks to #environmentalchampion volunteers like you out there, there can be a difference 👏🏾

So glad that I set up a #CLT #CommunityLandTrust in #AbbeyWood a few years ago. This will hopefully help to revive the group, widen membership and give it more scope across the Ward 💜
