You can't ask people to contribute to the economy and the country whilst celebrating those involved in their subjugation.

I just think people are getting worked up over nothing, for example it's no harm to you personally that the statue in Bristol is taken down but it being up might have personally hurt black people who walk past it every morning on they way to work. Get it down then, it's nothing to do with Britishness, it's common sense and morally right.
Well it seems a whole load of statues in London are earmarked for removal. And Lewis Hamilton, the richest sportsman in British history has waded in so I must be wrong eh?

Sounds like sanitisation to me.

And it affects me because I'm not being listened to and am getting to the point I daren't speak.
