    Are you asking me to post 5 million tweets?

    That's unsensible...

    do you have to keep lying?
    yes, you do because you have lost the argument
    the statues some people want taking down are because of their connections with the slave trade

    looking at my statement it is clear that only an idiot would think I was asking you to post 5 million tweets

    Slave traders are some of the nicest people I know, free board and travel to the new world and a guaranteed job...a racist wouldn't do that...

    You were complaining that the volume of tweets wasn't enough.

    But I digress

    "It's not about getting rid of people"

    It plainly is.

    Maybe I'm mistaken, was the slave trade an 18-30s club?

    Who doesn't think there is a problem with racism?

    Slave traders were not necessarily racists, they were buying and selling a commodity at a profit, i doubt if they cared what colour they were.
    Shocking trade in humans that has gone on for centuries, pretty sure nobody is tearing down statues of Roman Emperors, oh, and those Ottomans took a fair few people as slaves (as did the Egyptians).
    Like i said, the world has moved on, go blow up the Pyramids or destroy the Colosseum if you feel that strongly.

    I wasnt complaining that the volume of tweets wasn't enough - I was saying you could only provide one example out of more than 5 million people who have successfully applied to stay - yet another lie
    It plainly is not about getting rid of people and I have explained why
    the government has facilitated over five million people who you claimed they were trying to get rid of - yet another lie
    you keep lying even after you are shown to be wrong
    I dont wish to engage with your constant lies
    I'm putting you on ignore

    Calm down dear. I never took part in the poll.

    If you were involved in the very specific industrialised slave trade of black Africans, which these statuesque men were, then you were a racist.

    So the people that captured the slaves and took them to the market places, presumably they're racists too? Hmm, that's an interesting concept, quite a few people have claimed that black folk like them can't be racist.

    Still, you know best love. How are you getting on with your work on opening up the borders?

    They were cheaper at the time mate given that the Black African tribes we bought them off just wanted good steel knives and tools.

    Tell me about the industrial white slave trade that white people took part in.

    It appears my comparison between all Arabs are the same v all White Europeans are the same, has hit a nerve.

    Splendid.

    Surely cheaper to just pick up the Irish, save on a journey.

    The White slave trade? Which one? The Italians were quite adept at it back in the day. The Arabs had gathering white folk from these Isles down to a fine art too.

    They were possibly collecting some of the Irish and Cornish the Barbary Pirates took from there. :emoticon-0105-wink:
