Slave Trading Statues

"UN experts have told Britain to build statues of African people to atone for the slave trade."

A good idea from the UN. I suggest a statue scene showing African slave traders handing slaves over to white slave traders on a beach.

Not to mention the 1-1.25 million white Europeans enslaved and transported to Africa by the Barbary pirates

The statues perhaps need to be on a beach in Cornwall or Cork

Perhaps the African nations could fund these statues as part of their reparations

An Oscar Pistorius one would be cheap.

Or even African slavery, handing slaves over to Arab slave traders who then sell them to white slave traders.

The Albert Memorial has some African figures on it.

'Experts' is doing some heavy lifting there, also 'experts' with a very specific agenda rather than a deep subject knowledge.


Anyway they can fk off.

I think and hope this nonsense is now in retreat.

Is there a UN thread? We need one…

No nation has made more effort or spent more money than Britain to forcibly prevent slave trading worldwide. Doesn't that count for anything?

Obviously not , it's all about the money money .

Too many woke tts in the uk makes it more likely reparations are on the way.

Absolute madness
