She is British but persists in blaming GB for every historical wrong (as measured by today's morals) and conveniently ignores the part that her own ancestors played in the slave trade.

The Ghanaians were amongst the first to sell African slaves to the Brits, that were then transported to the 'New World' to be sold on, before we decided to cut out the middle man by reaping our own crops.

What a hypocrite!!

I think we'll have a long wait before she calls for Ghana to pay reparations to slave's descendants, as she's has previously called for the British government to do!

I'm fuming about this. Of all the interviews I've seen from these demonstrators ,almost to a man/woman they are coming across as bad or worse as the people they're demonstrating against. The thick f*****s ARE going to send the R rate through the roof.
Get the CCTV, find them all, fine them all and give the money to the NHS.
This could be the moment when Enochs rivers of blood speech comes to bear, but it will be white against white. White man fired the flare gun, white woman defaced churchill's memorial, white people topple the statue in Bristol. F**k the lot of them.

That’s always been my argument. We could claim from Italy, Norway, Denmark, France and other countries that they all screwed us over prior to big Will coming over in 1066. Every country gets invaded and exploited at some point in their history.

Harold and his men at Hastings will be under scrutiny. Their arrows were too sharp.

Harold fought a fine battle. Even King Bill said so. It was a section of his army that let him down. That and an arrow through the eye as well.
One thing I did learn though is that the Bayeux Tapestry isn’t really an accurate historical account of the battle. It was more of a propaganda piece.

History is written by the winners in public ...

... the losers in private.

It would probably help if these journalists wrote articles to black people saying,
"Stop joining gangs, selling drugs and stabbing each other to death on the streets."

Just a thought ....

Can't believe what I've watched mate, a gang of black people chasing and kicking the police up the a**e. When would that be allowed at a football match????? There,d be cracked heads and dogs chewing on people who just want to enjoy their day out.

It was sad to see mate. Police having to retreat from a mob. Assuming they were told not to 'get involved'.

I wonder how many of the white people who were protesting all weekend, actually spend time doing something about injustice when they're away from TV cameras.

It's all very well 'performing' when it suits you but it's the hours doing something useful that actually counts ...

... how many of them volunteer for the Samaritans, Salvation Army, etc?

Too much time and trouble I'd expect ....

Perhaps they should use that plinth in Bristol for a statue of Nelson Mandela ...

... born into a Royal family, a one time terrorist who was involved in planting bombs and 3 times married.

But, in later life, he saw the error of his ways and made amends.

A bit like that fella who's just been taken down ...

... funny how history repeats itself eh?
