The world has gone nuts.
Why we are pandering to these bullies is beyond me. This has nothing to do with the death of George Floyd.
My wife is Black (French, born in Guadeloupe of a Guadeloupian mother and father of Indian ancestry. She's lived in the UK for 27 years.) she doesn't like being referred to as "a person of colour" or BAME. She is vehemently against the violence and tearing down of statues. This morning we were talking about Churchill and she said that he probably would have been considered racist today but in those bygone years he was considered patriotic, and he did so much good for the country. There is undoubtedly still quite a lot of racism in our world but pulling down statues isn't going to change that.
and should you chose to accept it I would like to send your good lady a bunch of flowers if you could PM me with your details etc I would appreciate that.
