I've said it before, and I'll say it again: reform is a Special Purpose Vehicle for the Boris Tories to get back into power. Next stop, Boris Joins Reform and ousts Farage.

Zia Yusuf speaks haughtily about a history he is woefully ignorant of.
British taxpayers were made to compensate slave owners for the abolition of slavery - a debt they only finished paying off in 2015. In Zia, ignorance has a very confident adornment.

Michel Nkuka (Lumumba VEA) has done more in days to revive Patrice Lumumba’s legacy than many African leaders have done in decades.
It shows how powerful memory can be when people refuse to let history be buried.
God bless Patrice Lumumba.

I can't stand some Nigerian music. Not because they're bad, but because the memories take me back to when japa was not even a thought I entertained.
The music is beautiful; the feeling isn’t.
That said, I'm enjoying "Good Times" by Asa ft The Cavemen.
