Thought that taking the knee was a protest against racism and the recognition that, although history is written by the victors, all empires which ever existed are based on exploitation and slavery and that maybe this should augment the established "victor written" version. Still, all getting political now so I'll refrain before a moderator steps in . I'm sure the tabloids have got a handle on the matter.

How far are they going with this slavery thing. Modern day slavery or living memory as in the WW2 or is it back in the past. Are they going to tear down all the monuments that reflect slavery.

So whats the plan for the Pyramids the Egyptians will be well pi55ed off but Egypt shows just how well slavery works......stuff gets done.

What a disgraceful and disgusting comment.

What recent exploits?

I just think its wrong to politicise Motorsport, F1 especially. Protest outside sport would be much more acceptable
