Yes, this is what is wrong with society today.
Something that has gone on for centuries without a word.
It's just another "Look, a Corbyn" distraction by the right wing while they f*ck this country.
Persuaded to do so to pander to the permenatly outtraged Woke crowd, to increase their sales.I see this point has been conveniently swerved by the terminally outraged

I would happily have it kept as it was.Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None was originally called Ten Little N*****s.
