Our national this week is about white South African farmers who are being attacked daily but apparently the song encouraging their genocide shouldn't be taken literally? The local is about play areas in Cheshire West and Chester and the failures of the Labour led council to address issues of maintenance even though the leader of the council, Cllr. Louise Gittins, is celebrating green spaces around Cheshire in a video as if everything is rosy. Take our word for it, it isn't.

There was nothing of real interest as far as a more in depth look at national issues so we decided to expand on our locals as we had lots of them. In that respect, the Raven reports on a massive crack on the Chester Walls, strange goings on in Warrington from the Gazelle and a story from Ab Fab about a Cllr. from Alsager who got themselves in hot water arising from comments about women on Twitter.

Another absolutely brilliant (and we mean absolutely brilliant and better than anything else that jumps out of your phone from Cheshire and beyond) JMN production for Cheshire Matters.
We are proud to present this special episode of Cheshire Matters in Season 14, an article about Slavery, featuring your favourite 'digital' pub discussion, filled with facts, satire, humour and more than a dash of sarcasm featuring your absolutely fabulous, amazingly brilliant, witty and ridiculously talented 'Ab Fab', the delicious, delightful and delovely digital pub landlord (with the great hair do) and podcast host Jonathan Starkey, with regular panelist Mark Hartley (Stats Man) the man with all the facts.
This evening the subject is Slavery.
The Slavery Special Agenda aims to provide an honest picture of the history of slavery in brief, challenging the notion of solely blaming Britain and America and emphasizing that slavery has been practiced by various civilizations for thousands of years. The discussion begins by questioning why slavery is being discussed, suggesting that it is important to understand history accurately rather than using it to erase or refund past wrongs in an attempt to end racism.
The historical overview highlights that slavery has been widespread since around 11,000 years ago and was practiced by nearly every ancient civilization. Although Saudi Arabia and Yemen abolished slavery in 1962, Mauritania was the last country to abolish it in 1981 and criminalize it in 2007.
The discussion explores the question of who traded in or had slaves, acknowledging that both ancient civilizations and Europeans were involved in the slave trade. It also raises the issue of whether slavery was fueled by racism, suggesting that it did not begin as a race-based decision but rather as a solution to labour shortages. However, the ease of purchasing slaves and the need to distance oneself from the act of capturing them might have contributed to the development of racism.
Reparations for slavery are brought up, particularly in the context of California, where a task force approved a proposal to pay reparations to black citizens. The cost and implications of such reparations are discussed, highlighting the complexities and potential challenges of implementing a fair and comprehensive system.
The concept of who owes what in terms of reparations is explored, suggesting that Africans, Europeans, Americans, Muslims, and even specific ethnic groups owe various debts to African Americans, Africans, Europeans, and others. However, it is acknowledged that attempting to distribute reparations fairly would likely be chaotic and is unlikely to happen.
The discussion touches on slavery in Britain, noting that Anglo Saxon opinion eventually turned against selling their own countrymen abroad. The institution of slavery in England had largely disappeared by 1200, evolving into serfdom. The Somerset case of 1772 ruled that slavery was not recognized by English law.
Britain's role in ending slavery is highlighted, citing the Slave Trade Act of 1807 and the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833. Slave owners received compensation totaling £20 million (equivalent to £17 billion today). The Royal Navy established the West Africa Squadron, which patrolled the coast of West Africa to suppress the slave trade.
In conclusion, the Slavery Special Agenda criticizes the tendency to solely blame Britain and America for slavery, emphasizing the efforts made by these nations to end the practice. It questions the feasibility and fairness of seeking reparations and suggests that focusing on celebrating historical figures like Wilberforce and the Navy, who worked to eradicate slavery, is a more constructive approach. It also highlights the ubiquity of slavery throughout history and raises the question of who might be next to seek reparations.

We are proud to present the City of Chester By Election Special video podcast showing interviews by Stats and the Raven.
Official results: https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/your-council/voting-and-elections/election-results/2022-elections/city-of-chester-parliamentary-by-election
CHESHIRE MATTERS OPINION: Yes Labour won the seat but turnout was low in comparison to the 2019 election results. Turnout was only 41.2% which represents 28,541 votes out of an electorate of approx. 65,000 eligible to vote. Labour should be asking some very searching questions as to how they lost 10,000 of their voters who voted in 2019 yet failed to turn up to vote for their candidate in this election. Well done to all the others candidates who stood, with a special mention for the Monster Raving Looney Party. Not an easy task to put your head above the parapet for what you believe in. We have encouraged the Raven to do this so that Stats, the Gazelle and myself can be ready with the Wack-a-Mole hammers to knock him down. In fact, we're also now campaigning to the Electoral Commission for all ballot papers to include a section to vote for 'None of the Above'. We wager voting numbers would swiftly rise!!!!
Enjoy!
