There’s a reason you won’t see those on Al Jazeera…
He’s completely wrong, there were black centurions serving in the roman legions, some even served on Hadrians wall, there are tombs also noting legionaries were from Africa. Scipio Africanus led legions too. I do agree that this museum piece is probably P.C. nonsense.

Sorry to hear that shouldn’t be like that any time. Me i was never bullied. My Dad bless him had a philosophy and said you only ever have to fight the bully’s once. Win lose or what ever they won’t be back and it worked. I took on the role of defending my brothers that i found to be weaker than i right through my school and army career. I am not sorry for any of it either. I still to this day love to see a bully on his back with a bleeding nose.

I fought too Joe, every day, only so much you can do when you’re outnumbered.

Yes i see. Maybe with me i didn’t mind getting hammered as long as i took as many of the twat’s with me. Once took on the whole school bus for spitting on my Brother. I had a chain in my bag and jumped into action. Bobby McLaughlin was the driver. He jumped out of his seat and said young McDonald give me the chain which i did. He said get of the bus i thought i was for it for causing. But he smiled and said i will send them to you one by one. Not one of them ventured and they never spat on my Brother. Even their ring leader a ginger haired nut called Ramsey tried to befriend me after that. I told him straight i didn’t like him and we would never be friends as long as he stank up the space i was in. But i know and understand that everyone differs and it is not a nice thing to be afraid of ones safety. Only wish we had of been neighbours then. Happy Christmas.

Nice one Joe…
I met a lady and wondered where was from because I couldn’t place her accent and her clothing looked like it was not from here. So I asked her where he was from. Apparently she came from Italy. I feel so shamed because apparently I must be a racist?
100%, you should be ashamed
Better not let the BBC get wind of that
Stones in glass houses?
I think it’s likely she wishes none of this had happened. As the saying goes, with fame comes scrutiny. She’s been trousering money seemingly tax free from some interesting sources, as the only employee of this “charity”, which the Charity Commission is now taking an interest in. Let’s see how it pans out…
What goes around comes around. She has had her moment of glory.
Fake name too, her real name is Marlene reade or something like that…
I think i read somewhere that as you say, she’s got (or been known to have/use) upto 8 different names…
She wanted to reconnect to her “African heritage” apparently even though her parents were from the caribbean, ok, they may have ancestors who came from Africa originally but then we’re all from there originally.
So multiple aliases and an affinity for avoiding questions about her origins… poor lass, I feel sorry for her now.
And that’s the rub, isn’t it… we are all much more alike than we are different…. Apart from those bl@@dy Liechtensteiners!!!
Not universally popular on Google review, BTW. I think also their accounts have been filed late or not at all for a few years. I wouldn’t say they’d pass the sniff test.
“This place is a con and uses charity money to fund holidays and personal expenses. They act is if they are helping victims but work illegally and make matters worse I will be taking them to the cleaners and complaining to the charity commission. DO NOT TRUSS THAT NGOZI AND DJANIE THEY ARE FAMILY TO. They present to the media as if they are interested in domestic matters just for financial gain! Stay away and access a more universal service like the national dv helpline”
Always those Liechtensteiners - can’t be trusted, that lot…
Back in the warrrw…
