Derby to stop taking the knee.....

I’m not sure how good the Royal Family are for tourism, GP. History is good for tourism, but do people expect to see the Queen at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle etc. I suspect not. They’ll continue to visit all the old castles, monuments and stately homes but once this Queen shuffles off, I doubt anyone will even be able to cite the Royal Family as some sort of unifying concept.

Tricky, I didn’t actually need any evidence of your pro-racist agenda but thanks for providing it. ‘WOKE’, the ‘race card’, ‘white, British and not ashamed’, ‘ethnic prisoner’, ‘race board’, ‘Markle’s vendetta’ and ‘Muslim grooming scandal’ all make an appearance in your last post. It’s almost as if you’re obsessed.

P.S. Just to be clear, I’m white, British and unashamed too, but I do understand how offensive certain monuments to our ‘racist’ past might appear in a modern multicultural society and I’m not going to apologise for that.

Ostrich and appeasement come to mind.
Equality is exactly that. Being forced into submission and apology isn't.
Your support of BLM confirms that

The fact that you even mention ‘appeasement’ speaks volumes.
Who’s being forced into ‘submission’ and why is the concept of apology so alien to you?

I support the broad aims of the BLM movement, NOT all of their actions, and I am at a loss to understand how being associated with the WOKE movement is a bad thing. It’s aims are to campaign for social and racial justice...exactly what is wrong with that?

I find it ironic that WOKE - i.e. being alert to social justice and aware of racism in society, is seen as an pejorative term, but then you only have to look at the people using it in that way and then those that so eagerly copy them (being unable to be of original thought themselves) to understand that it merely reflects badly on the person using it!
