    Nope ... I made a jest about the Romans nailing him as a comment about slavery... my own view is that he likely died in the battle and must have been so badly cut up that they couldn't identify him .. or, possibly his own men seeing him fall, ensured that he couldn't be recognised ... thereby robbing the Romans of what they would have preferred ... public humiliation.

    well that didn't know..

    Ceasar was never Emperor....that's my learning for the day.

    Not as good as pineapples don't grow on trees, but still a good fact.

    Well the Japs came and slaughtered a load of chinese and enslaved a bunch of our women and did some really horrible things like making families do incest for fun i think i read.

    I understand that this is the older generation and people are individuals so i don't go round hating Japanese people.

    type in black man shooting white, and all you get is video after video of yanks cops killing blacks...

    Seems like even the biggest sites are trying to appease this movement.

    Deny everything else.....

    Whilst I wouldn't personally be searching YouTube for one colour killing another anyway, I really don't see why the numbers being returned from such, one way or another, make any difference to what happened to George Floyd?

    He was callously and needlessly killed at the hands of law enforcement officers, primarily because of the colour of his skin. Fortunately, they were witnessed, otherwise they might have got away with it.

    The millions who marched in protest are not all members of some radical left wing political movement - the vast majority were just ordinary people from all walks of life, and ethic and cultural backgrounds, making a stand against systemic rascism in our societies and should be applauded for that.

    No amount of whining and crying by the likes of Donald Trump and attempts to detract from that very commendable objective by focusing on a few criminal acts by a tiny fraction on the streets make the protests less justified or necessary. Change needs to happen and law enforcement must always be accountable and the aim must be that rascism is finally eradicated from law enforcement and, hopefully, from our modern world completely.

    One of the things that is concerning at the moment, is the whole debate or even thoughts of George Floyd's death has been removed, to people discussing whether they should take the knee or not. I'm not really seeing how this helps blacks be treated equally, or how it helps the death of George.

    In part reason, why I didn't wholly agree with BLM on the back of football shirts, because as usual I feel the debate has been devalued by people, who pretend to do the right things but very rarely do, the governing bodies.

    To think even with Hamilton, we was discussing this 12 years ago! (Spain 2008)

    Same as the Kick Out campaign, what changed, nothing, because we are back here again still having the same old discussions....so until next time in another 30 years (1991 Rodney King).
