David blocked me on twitter for politely reminding him that he has been totally silent on the genocide in Gaza. Silence is complicity, especially when you have a platform. Why is he not speaking out against Israel's war crimes and the racism and colonialism experienced by Palestinians? Perhaps he values his career more than justice?

My goodness how dishonest. Ask him about Ernesto Elliott the Jamaican murderer he wanted freed and not deported.

Good to see the pushback against Olusoga. We should be United against black nationalism.

@@suburbanyobbo9412 ah now, wouldn't that suit you? But no love, it's about the exploitation by the British Empire, you know, that thing you all lament the loss of, of all the people you fucked up, but hey, how could you be expected to remember all the people you stitched up. So no, pretend your the victim here, it suits British excusing of self very well. Had a gut load of your lovely welcome when I visited, seems like no Irish, no Black's and no Dogs still applies in some quarters.

I found him a very worthy historian. Warts and all history of Britain slavery. The beautiful copperplate handwritten payouts by the Government to the slave owner’s in compensation, on abolition. Fascinating and shameful history.

@@suburbanyobbo9412 for some reason, this comment isn't showing in my thread so let me just say this one thing, I don't care what so called black nationalist theories he is so called peddling, I'm Irish and my history tells me that Britain considered us Black and ignorant, I have no intention of standing with you against my brother.
