Anyway...come on we need to get back to the agenda of Black Lives Matter....and history....our history, where we came from and how we got to be where we are....is disposable.
It can be consigned to the waters of the Broad Quays (like the statue of Sir Edward Colston....except he has been fished out covered in red paint).
Or it can be boarded up like many other statures of people who were doing what was done back then.
History needs to be viewed through the prism of context....so that we can see how far we have progressed.
Yet, the question has to be asked 'have we?'

The current thuggocracy smacks of fascism.
Where is the tolerance?
And isn't this almost a case of racism too?
I do not want a police force the identifies with the mob, at a gathering of the mob.
If they want to take the knee in their own time then that is their business, but doing it whilst in uniform, doing the job of maintaining the law makes them politicised and as if they are siding with the mob.
'Be a sheep and you will be eaten by the wolf'

I know that these views are not 'woke'....but then I am NOT woke.
