Well I learned that there was a statue of a slave trader in Bristol. I dont think it has become politically incorrect to mention the slave trade at all, regardless of colour. In hindsight I think it's more politically incorrect to have a statue of a slave trader missing the relevant information as to why it's there in the first place.

Virtually every wealthy philanthropist in C17th was involved in some way with slavery. It was endemic across the world. That was that time, very different now.

It's not politically incorrect to talk about slavery now. But it was in the 1960's and 70's. You would never mention slavery to someone who was black. And it was regarded as racist to call someone black. We were all taught to say "coloured".

That was that time, very different now.

You could probably freeze a frame of a photo at an Arianne Grande concert and have 10,000 pre-pubescent girls giving Nazi salutes as they are waving their hands in the air.
You've made your mind up they're Nazi salutes, I'm not convinced having watched the footage a few times. And just because I disagree with you doesn't put me in your "right-wing denial" group.

Yeah right oh, they were obvs just celebrating a goal or something.

Whatever, and don’t try and put words in my mouth, cheers.

Intimidating towards the police, yes. I never said anything about goal celebrations, just a bunch of total morons waving their arms about trying to cause as much mayhem as they can.

I never said you did, however that’s been offered by others. It looked obvious to me, if you see something else, whatever. Either way they’re a set of ****s irrespective.
