New Everton Stadium

[LEONARD]

This is an amazing book.

Slavery was evil but complex.

House slaves had it slightly better than field slaves, but at the end of the day they were slaves.

I cant believe what I'm reading on here anymore. I take it Dave has found a new crusade, or is it another way for him to give his club a good kicking.

Ok so we get rid of the Bramley Moore name to keep the peace. We then run a competition to rename it & the winner chooses to call it Bramley Moore after thier pet rabbit or dog or whatever which is conveniently named Bramley Moore.
History will show we named the dock after a rabbit rather then a slave trader. Job done. You can't hate a cute bunny rabbit. It's the law.

It hasn't been a functioning dock for years under the name Bramley Moore. It's a derelict dock. We've no need to tether our major project to a name that can bring shame. It's not that difficult to underline his connections to the slave trade, so let's just cut his identity out of the picture and forge our own story on that site.

Erm....theres nothing to say he was a slave trader.

He was a merchant of Coffee & Sugar.

What are you after here? Shall we leave the land derelict and keep it as Bramley Moore?

I agree. It's a silly debate. I offered a silly solution. I'm off to watch Only Fools & Horses.

You're missing my point entirely. I've already stated my pov on all that.

My concern is image and identity protection for the club. That's it.

Like victor meldrew you are you miserable complaining twerp

Seems that way doesn't it. Isn't there a thread on slavery in the Current affairs section.

Watched a programme the other night about the Vikings in Ireland. Seems a 1000 years ago the main commodity they took from Ireland were peoples to be used as slaves. These were my Irish ancestors. I demand a slave memorial. I demand all statues in Denmark Sweden Norway be destroyed. I demand I demand I'll be back with more later

All ABBA songs to be erased from history too

25% of Icelandic DNA is Irish in origin. The Irish slaves married or were granted land to farm I believe. I demand reparations from you, for making me watch Sigurdsson.

But, who harvested the coffee and sugar?

But, who harvested the coffee and sugar?

...some seem to think it may have been Brazilian workers paid union rates of pay.

I find it hard to believe meself.
