⭐️LINCOLN SHOW❤️NOT HATE JULY 8🙏🏽
I thought this was a joke. But no there’s a Nazi far right fascist organisation ‘on tour’ @hopenothate says they are ‘the most significant fascist threat seen in the UK for years’. Their leader dresses like Hitler. WTF?! How is this even legal🤷🏾♂️

Today marks 60 years since the start of the 1963 Bristol Bus Boycott.
Led by Paul Stephenson, Owen Henry, Roy Hackett, Audley Evans and Prince Brown, the boycott arose from the refusal of the Bristol Omnibus Company to employ black or Asian bus crews.

Mali 🇲🇱 Had A University in the 1200 AD that taught Astronomie, Geographie, medicine, Mathematics and so on. Home of Mansa Musa, Richest Man in the History of Mankind!!!
Timbuktu in Mali 🇲🇱 is home to one of the World's oldest University, Sankore which had libraries filled with manuscript written in Ajama (African languages such as Hausa written in scripts in form of Arabic) in the 1200AD.
University of Sankore is believed to be built by Mansa Musa around 988AD the richest man in history. Subjects studied in the university included Geography, Astronomy, Medicine, Mathematics, Science and even history, despite the fact that history was never part of any teaching curriculum in the Islamic world at the time.
When Europeans and Asians begin visiting and Colonizing Mali in the 1300s to 1800s the Malians began hiding their Manuscripts in basement, attics and underground in fear of destruction or theft by foreigners.
In recent history many as 700,000 scripts had been rediscovered and is in modern and advanced mathematics.

We know it’s possible to give refugees safe passage – we did it with Ukrainian refugees. Will you stand with refugees and demand safe passage for people who want to claim asylum in the UK?

Humbled to witness the unveiling of a plaque in Filey honouring the 4,000 Caribbean men who volunteered as teenagers and young men for RAF service in WW2 and were based at nearby Hunmanby Moor. Then, today and always, we will remember them.
