Concentration Camps Existed Long Before Auschwitz From Cuba to South Africa, the advent of barbed wire and automatic weapons allowed the few to imprison the many

Actually, they were invented by the Spanish Empire in Cuba during the Ten Years' War. They utilised them again in Cuba with Valeriano Weyler's Reconcentration Policy of 1896. This policy is where the term Concentration Camp gets its name from/ first coined.

I tell you what I'm really starting to hate about Glasgow Airport when returning from abroad. You get through security and you look up at the board to see which carrousel your luggage is on, and it's not expected for about 40 mins. Pish poor. Especially when you have a long journey afterwards.

Yes we are but when privatised English water companies dump raw sewage into the seas, that affects Scottish coastlines and beaches.

Any Scot who's a 'stop the boats' punter, isn't too good at Critical Thinking.

This simple, three-word narrative is great in the Pub, as it also hides the fact, they're an unenlightened racist.

Scotland DIDN'T vote for Brexit.

Brexit was Brexit.

It's why we need Scottish Independence, soon.

Nadine criticises "young white women" for being biased on social media and misleading people about Deform policy. Yet she has written this in the incredibly biased Daily Fail, and she has lied about Green Party policy stating that they would 'legalise heroin'. The hypocrisy!

Some people just don't know when to quit. Listen, I've said for a long time, The time for new Indy parties to emerge is AFTER we attain Indy, Not before.
We need to unite for our country first, Not just for one party.
Only when we are unified will we be free.

SCAM
LABOUR CAUGHT CREATING FAKE TACTICAL VOTING WEBSITE

Screenshot of a tweet that reads:
The Movement Forward | StopTheTories.vote @MVTFWD
A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice"
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.
#GortonAndDenton

Promoted by Miles Thorpe on behalf of Hannah Spencer, both at 173 Mount Road, Gorton, Manchester, M18 7QT.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your β€˜very extensive data’ and β€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election β€˜was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu β€œDhoka” ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.”
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

And yes, the concept of imprisoning perceived enemy populations has been occurring for many thousands of years. But do please tell me how this first occurred during British colonial rule in India and Afghanistan. I could do with a laugh. And don't forget to cite your sources πŸ˜‰

Please cite your sources. There is nothing on google books about British concentration camps in Afghanistan during that period. There are over 40,000,000 books on google books. That's a very large library and not one backs your claim. Now please cite your sources.
