Yet when a movement in Ireland called for boycotting slave-produced sugar in the 1830s-40s, #DanielOConnell was opposed as it would interfere with free trade.
And while his work may have helped lead to Irish independence, O’Connell himself remained a monarchist & supporter of the Empire

#DanielOConnell was contradictory, & is often criticised for being “too parliamentary” & too deferential to the Empire.
He was also perhaps the most prominent anti- #slavery voice of his day in Europe:
"As human, as accountable beings, why should we suffer this any longer?"

"Today marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of #DanielOConnell, the man known as 'The Liberator’"
O'Connell's campaigns for Catholic Emancipation and Repeal (of the Acts of Union between Britain and #Ireland) laid the foundation for Irish independence.

After 160 years of Welsh settlement in Patagonia, Indigenous voices are finally being heard
The story of Welsh Patagonia is not quite the tale of settler and indigenous harmony that has always been told.
On 28 July 1865, the ship Mimosa arrived in #Patagonia with some 153 passengers to found a “new #Wales” - Y #Wladfa.
#YWladfa was soon used by #Argentina to assert control of the area, & only now, 160 years later, are the #Indigenous #Tehuelche voices being heard.

Denmark’s migration reset sets stage for EU-wide rethink
Denmark has reframed the debate on migration by adopting highly restrictive rules presented through the lens of progressive politics. #EuropeNews
#Denmark wearing its xenophobia as a badge of honour, peddling #farright anti #migration policies as somehow "pro-worker":
"if you're a party that is representing low-skilled, low-paid people, then you should be quite restrictive around migration"

Truly criminal, and stupidly tragic.
(Obviously in the awful world we live in today, such a tragedy is quite minor, but it is real enough).
