    Britain Must STOP Apologising for Slavery! | Sunil Sharma on GB News

    Should Britain apologise again for its role in the slave trade — and could that open the door to slavery reparations? I joined GB News to discuss Andy Burnham's proposed apology, the Commonwealth summit, modern slavery, Britain's historical legacy and why I believe the focus should be on tackling slavery today rather than demanding further apologies for the past. We also discuss the Commonwealth's potential for stronger international cooperation. #GBNews #SlaveryReparations #AndyBurnham #Commonwealth #UKPolitics

    This Is the Funniest Joke About Transgenderism

    Is this the funniest joke about transgenderism? I react to hilarious comedy clips from T.K. Kirkland and Ricky Gervais before giving his unfiltered views on gender identity, pronouns, gender-affirming care and women's rights. I question the influence of gender ideology in schools, entertainment and healthcare, raises concerns about medical transition for minors, challenges gender stereotypes and discusses the debate surrounding biological sex, women's toilets and changing rooms. From political correctness and freedom of speech to the future of gender identity debates, this is a provocative, opinionated commentary that doesn't shy away from controversial questions.

    Brexit Under Threat? Burnham Reopens the EU Debate

    Is Labour quietly taking Britain back towards the European Union? In this episode of Rational Voices, Sunil Sharma examines Andy Burnham’s comments on closer EU ties, Brexit and freedom of movement — and asks whether Britain could be heading towards a gradual reversal of Brexit. Could closer EU integration mean losing control over immigration, British laws and national sovereignty? What would rejoining the EU single market mean for our borders, housing, wages, schools and NHS? Sunil explores why millions voted for Brexit, the risks of restoring freedom of movement, and the questions politicians must answer before making new agreements with Brussels. Is Brexit being slowly undone? Let me know what you think in the comments.
