Like come on, everyone knows it happened, why are white people so insecure that they feel like we can’t talk about it and can’t admit this country was a massive part of the world wide problem, it’s like it’s been brushed under the carpet and people expect it to just be forgotten, we need to educate people to make them understand why people feel so strongly about this.

History has more interesting things like Vikings, Normans, Romans, Tudors, Stuarts, Oliver Cromwell, and a couple of world wars. There's no real need to carp on about why Brits should hate themselves

If only he did not use that fake note.

Of course the Evil

No one is backing that murder.

I'm more worried about other things he's allegedly done than try to spend phoney money without knowing about it. He was an awful person who doesn't deserve to be the figurehead of all this, but it's not up to a random cop to decide whether he lives or dies.
