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

I find it hard to believe meself.

Anyway, the club already calls it the Peoples Project.

So stand now clown.

But, who harvested the coffee and sugar?

Probably not him.

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.

It's the history of the site whether you like it or not, what you going to do chisel out the stone plaque saying Bramley Moore. We can't continue down this route, it's not right.

Did you know Bramley Moore and his history before this, probably not. I just think it's part of our history, it should not be scrubbed, obviously there are differences of opinion. But I understand what you and others are saying.

Where was all this outrage back when all the stadium stuff started? Show me the posts where this was an issue for you before? Didnt see you demanding the name be change then....

Let's play it safe, we need to name it the,

The Jeremy Corbyn, Viva Palestine Stadium.

Been trying to squeeze Roberto into there somehow, just doesn’t scan

I really doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

The dock walls are listed anyway so you cant just take the name down. We can however quite easily not call it Bramley Moore and just call it..well anything we want to really.

I mean how many Arsenal fans still call it Ashburton Grove?

My point is that everybody in that era either had slaves, sold slaves, used slaves, was a slave or simply ignored the slave trade and allowed it to grow.

Everybody in that era was guilty of something.

Yes they were.
The Royal Navy was extremely guilty
Guilty of trying to stop slave ships going across the Atlantic for 60 yrs between 1807 and 1867

Because command at the Royal Navy felt slavery was bad?

I'd reply but we must stay (loosly) more or less on topic and not get sucked in by @davek 's wumming.

I had never heard of him till Dave decided to find a new hill to die on. I very very much doubt he had a clue till 5.00pm today neither.

pretty sure Dave found him by accident while googling “ liverpool based slave traders” with crosses fingers , hoping Leighton baines’s name turned up.
