After you've given us Brits immense credit for perpetuating slavery first please. We deserve that too.
buda, slavery predates the Brits. The scourge was on Earth even in Biblical times. All the major powers of the world - before the Brits, had slaves. Romans, Greeks, Ottomans and their Arabs friends, etc. I heard the Ottomans were notoriously cruel with slaves and I have watched a couple of documentaries on how "efficient" they were in wiping out entire communities and towns once they fall into their callous hands during war times.

Give it to the Brits. They did good. By the way I lived in Edinburgh for more than 3 years - and I still have my Lothian Bus card!

Of course, I wouldn’t have the forefathers do anything. When there’s a gun in your face, you act to save your life first. But there’s no gun in your faces right now and you still chose to exalt whiteness. Riddle me that please.

As we speak, a vast amount of African land is still owned by western companies as a result of colonialism. To this day!

We have nothing to be thankful for as a result of that experience. Everything we got from them could’ve been gotten through mutual trade. Our language, culture and currency could be more respected if they weren’t forcefully suppressed.

So Yes what’s happened has happened. I’m not here to split hairs about that. It’s the insinuation that we should be grateful that pisses me off.

Also, I’m not asking anyone to not strive for personal growth because their forefathers experienced slavery. Much contrary to the lies your right wing pals will have you believing if you stay here long enough. They’ll have you believing talking about such things is playing victim.

Temper! Temper!!

The below is one of my several responses to buda.

"It's not a sign of cowardice or weakness to acquiesce to superior force or knowledge"

What would you have our forefathers do? You said it yourself up there - they had brute force, better technology, firepower - etc etc. In war, it is the winners who live to write the story of how they won!

Now, these guys spared our forebears lives. They could have done to us what they did to the sioux and other Red Indian tribes in North America. Would you be here today if they had done that? There are some things we should be thankful to God (not them) for. We live to fight another day in a different way.

Great write up you have up there. Thanks!

He's already promised it to farmers, so we'll see how much he has left for those $1000 cheques.

Oh! But the tariffs are not coming from the pocket of the rich, as far as they know, even though they are a tax on the profits of the companies most own shares in.

Companies are cutting their profit margins or reducing overheads in order to absorb the tariffs. I doubt there has been an exact corresponding increase in consumer good prices.
You have a study to show cobsuners are paying more?
Without tariffs prices still go up every year ,so you can factor that out .

This is a reply I got just yesterday. It will do you a lot of good.

I sometimes wonder what some of you guys stand to gain from continuously engaging people whose mind and sense of humanity has been eroded by undiluted religious indoctrination.
[/b]
Several United States journalists and military attachees posted to Gaza has confirmed that IDF soldiers use Israeli children and civilians as target practices at food and water collection points.

If you like, post evidence even from the White House itself, this brainwashed folks would still deny that Israel is just killing innocent Palestinians indiscriminately. They do this in the warp and satanically motivated belief that God bless and curse whoever would bless and curse Israel, so Israel must be supported unconditionally.

If you know how brainwashed Christians thinks, you wouldn't be wasting your time arguing them.

It's the highest level of indoctrination you can get anywhere. It's easy to spot because you can see how devoid of empathy and common sense their comments are, coupled with the strong and unwavering willingness to dismiss the truth and facts no matter the source from whence it came.

There is a word for this tragedy.

Zombification.

This is for you basilico. Fed cut, but mortgage rates have risen.
Thanks. Looks like the mortgage rates are heavily tied to 30 year Treasury yields, so Fed cutting rates doesn't immediately translate to lower mortgage rates. The 30 year Treasury yield rate is currently at 4.2% .
That would be my understanding, I could be wrong.

....and along with that colonisation was your enslavement, which you think was good for you.

That's from you. What do you mean by this? If the conditions were reversed, and you are the ones to colonise the Whites, will you hesitate one bit, when you know it's to your advantage? Heck we should be thankful these guys didn't think of wiping out our forbears! It's not a sign of cowardice or weakness to acquiesce to superior force or knowledge. That's what our forbears did - and we are here today because of that.
Do you think we should be thankful for Nazi medical experiments which are still influencing medicine today?

When the Fed is not out of kilt like it is now, lowering rates with potentially rising inflation, yes mortgages rates are linked, as opposed to heavily tied, to the 30 year. But as you can see, "30-year fixed mortgages edged down to 6.43%", so the link is not so heavily tied to the Feds target interest rate of 4.2%

In fact, if the Fed were to cut its effective federal funds rate today, mortgage rates are likely to rise further due to inflation expectations. But we'll need to wait and see.

Budaatum. The elite UK Green Party has concluded that society has no place for private landlords
.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uks-green-party-demands-abolition-private-landlords

‘The private rental sector has failed, it is a vehicle for wealth extraction, funnelling money from renters to the landlord class…

This motion makes it clear that Green Party policy is to seek the effective abolition of private landlordism and to support the building of council housing.

…The Green Party believes the existence of private landlords adds no positive value to the economy or society, that the relationship between landlord and tenant is inherently and intrinsically extractive and exploitative.”


On eof it's cosigner is a landlord who will just give up his property since he doesn't make a profit.

Echoes Mamdani who could seize luxury condos and give them to the homeless.

You should read my Genesis 2 exposition to know it Biblically began in the Garden of Eden, though existed amongst the earliest of humanoids.

I am an atheist. I go to Church of England (regularly in the past but just sometimes these days), only because of their contribution to the abolition of slavery which I highly appreciate. But even they wouldn't claim their fight for abolition makes them not culpable to a large extent in the transatlantic slave trade which Britain didn't start nor where the most profligate in, even though the CoE was huge in the slave business.

Below is some reading.

You saw a ceasefire backed by the US, Qatar Saudi UAE. That is welcome by Gaza and Israel but you still find a reason to be negative and complain

Do liberalism suck every joy out of you? The people who experienced the war who are at the epicenter of the war are out there jubilating but you in the comfort of your AC house thousands of mile away still crying

Can't you just join Israelis and Gazans in celebration

Do you somehow think the Green Party that has four Members in the House of Commons and two in the House of Lords and about 860 out of 18645 local councillors, dictates policy for democratic UK?

That might explain why you lie to yourself that "Mamdani could seize luxury condos and give them to the homeless".

What's all this bot ban nonsense? How's the ownership ignoring this for this long? What benefits do your bots serve, so much that irritation of its user base - its own sustenance - becomes remotely acceptable?

This makes no technical sense. And it makes no business sense.

Dear Nairalanders,

We are ramping things up. Here are some things we have done recently:

1. We gave Nairaland's theme a little facelift, fixing buttons, pagination, separators, and other little things.

2. We implemented a dark mode for Nairaland with the most intuitive UX: a sun toggle on your upper right.

3. We further relaxed the minimum character rule because many people were still struggling with it.

We are also trying to make our moderation bot (aka antispam bot) more accurate. Bear with us on that.

What else do you want us to work on?

Best Regards.

Actually it's true. Qatar is the largest private office sq feet owner in London. Not in terns land acreage.

Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings - 21,452,796 sq ft
The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London - 17,447,701 sq ft
Transport for London - 14,889,025 sq ft
Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) / Qatari Diar - ~10.7 million sq ft
Derwent London - ~5.5 million sq ft

*** QIA owns 60% of the No 1.

Whether they are ranked No 4 you can see how welcoming UK is...I think it's retrogression.
