It me

Politics? No!

War criminals? Yes!

Back in this miserable country 😩

😂

What makes a knife religious?!?

Something dangerous I reckon

Also are we really defining pedophile trafficking rings as men’s clubs???

Or ice axes? What the hell?

Basseterre airport being very thorough about what not to bring on the flight. I feel like ‘dangerous things’ would have covered this tbh.

Green leader Polanski calls for Starmer to quit over Mandelson scandal Zack Polanski said the Peter Mandelson scandal had damaged trust in politics.

It's time for Keir Starmer to do the right thing and step down.

My favourite bit is when he eventually sets sail and dies at sea. A real piece of shit this guy, who revelled in placing the heads of Irish women and children on spikes outside his tent.

Yes - there’s a fascinating petition by enslaved Indians from Barbados protesting their capture.

Yes! Those that didn’t flee into the mountains (where they were succored by the surviving Kalinago, of all people!) headed for Nevis.

150?!?

I know who the first Anglican minister was! Went out in 1629 with Warner when he returned to England to bring 400 new colonists back to the now ethnically cleansed island. Will check my notes and report back. His sermon from the dock before they board for St Kitts was published.

Honestly that’s exactly why I chose now to come here - break the dreariness for a bit!

Visited St Thomas Anglican Church today, established in late 1620s - the first Anglican Church in the Caribbean. In 1649 Governor Thomas Warner and his deputy Samuel Johnson were buried here 6 months apart. Sadly run down and locked up these days.

Very nice! Is this Fairfield?

Pretty lush

I’ve visited quite a lot of the Caribbean in my time, but I’ve never quite seen such a rich array of flora as I have on St Kitts. Its indigenous name is Liamuiga - the fertile island. Justly deserved.

Too kind Lou!

PLEASE DONATE!

Please. There is no other source of aid! We are the line between life and death. Please. 🙏

Zack Polanski: I thought what Keir Starmer said about me was vile Green leader Zack Polanski is taking the fight to Labour with his brand of eco-populism — but while he’s riding high in the polls, do his economic policies really stack up?

Really enjoyed this interview and it's refreshing that the journalist says she doesn't agree with all of my politics but still engages with the ideas.

You don't have to agree with me on everything. Just the basics: it's time to make hope normal again.

Inject it straight into my eyeballs.
