What must fall to make us forget slavery?

[Lardbeast]

From what I hear you're already badly outnumbered, even before the usual shady voting takes place.

The last few years have polarised communities, along with self loathing liberals who would be happy to see history flushed away, to be replaced by their narrative.

 

[LouisetheSleaz]

I don't even know what it is!

Tasty.

Uh oh! I typed that out loud, didn't I?

Edit: I hate my spellchecker!

I'm sure this important piece of art could be afforded the same protection as historic statues and be removed by the local council to a secure storage facility.

Or deposited into the local water-course for safe keeping?

The Manilla is a copper bangle used as currency in the slave trade. A ship carrying Manillas would sail to West Africa where local tribes would round up others who were exchanged for the Manillas and other goods, shipped across the Atlantic where the slaves were replaced by the goods the slaves produced which were then shipped back to Europe and replaced by a load of Manillas ...

So an awful lot of people were involved but selectively ignored by those banging on about it today.

George Floyd: Manchester mural 'defaced by racists' for second time

A Manchester mural honouring George Floyd is vandalised with racist graffiti for a second time.

I think a lot of people will be getting lifetime bans when fans are allowed back into football grounds

Now defaced a third time.

Again, is this racism or just people being pissed hacked off.

Arrested you say?

I'm sure George Floyd would have approved.

There was an interview on the radio yesterday with a footballer.

He didn’t seem to be the brightest chap, and was unhappy that many clubs are starting to move away from the pre match kneel.

He stated that something still needs to be done, and advocated introducing another gesture, perhaps raising one clenched fist?

I do hope they persist till the picture is removed for safe keeping, such as the artists studio from whence it came.

Some of you need to get out of this "London is the epitome of all that is PC" mindset, some of us don't bow to the Altar of Khan and his acolytes.

Cheers dits.

Get back to us when you've voted him out.

Also I can see law suits about the right of fans to engage in a legitimate protest and what happens if instead of booing the fans whistle or turn their backs to the pitch, will that be racist too?

I'm not sure if any private company has to allow legitimate protest from it who it lets on its property.

True. Forgot about you are not allowed protest on private property unless I’m wrong .... as usual.

ETA Isn’t there a rule about not allowing football players to make political statements apart from wearing Poppys? I seem to remember a couple of players getting into trouble for showing such on t shirts under their team strips.

US News,

White House says Biden supports study of slavery reparations!​

Just how many are still alive who were brought to the US against their will?
How many have a better life than they would running around the Savana chasing lions away from their goats.

Think I'll ask Putin to take me in as a refugee, and if that fails I'll accept North Korea.

I'll happily vote against him, but my one vote versus the 40 postal votes from a 1 bed terrace house in Bethnal Green won't make much of a difference.

It gets better here boys and girls with London‘s impeccable leader hiring an extreme lefty activist to review the statues.

Activist hired by Sadiq Khan to review statues branded 'racist'

Who is accusing

- Diane Abbott of betraying / going against her kind

- David Lammy being a poor example of an African

You could not make this up lol

cheers

Bloody good job Mr Khan is paying this activist from his own pocket rather that using public money!

Eh? What's that you say?
