Treat these people as equals and they immediately believe that the must be better than you or you wouldn't be treating them as equal.

That's because they won't be called a racist, like you or I would if we didn't like them or accused them of anything Todger....

These bastards are trying to destroy our history and by so doing our national identity and pride.

They have activated the "useful idiots"*

*Useful idiot -- refer to https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...h/useful-idiot

Re: Statues

They'll be after Nelson's column then ... poor little black man on it will have to go too . Tucked in the corner and hidden away with his curly hair.
But hey ho ... bring em' all down.

And have they got the guy who wrote Amazing Grace on their list too ... he was a slaver.

It's bloody annoying.
All they're doing is showing up how full of hatred they are for the 'white man' ... when the white man too has been a slave.
I know .. I've watched the films with the white galley slaves manning the oars of the Barbary pirates xebecs and I've watched Frankie Howerd in Up Pompeii.

All I can say is the education system is sadly lacking ...
What is this Black History Month they have in schools?

Doesn't sound like it's achieving much ... so instead of focusing on Blacks they should teach them about Slavery, all slavery and all colonisation, and what happened to all indigenous people such as American Red Indians, Australian Aborigines.
There are more disadvantaged people in the world than disgruntled Blacks running riot because they have a chip on their shoulder.

Well said Morti.
As I have said numerous times, all they are achieving is breeding more hatred.
On the other hand, maybe that is what some wanted in the first place.

Well, my late MIL worked at the National Canine Defence League (now The Dog Trust) Head Office in PRATT STREET, Camden Town. Perhaps we should base Sadiq Khan there. Seems a fitting address for him.

Re: Statues

After breaking monuments to great men of their time they despise what comes next?

BURNING BOOKS ?

Because we know what THAT is followed with.

Indeed.
