What utter Bullock's!

Said no one ever! 🤯

kool😖that she is no 1 not kool people dont care about slavery

She’s got a book to sell

Rubbish

Don't be ridiculous. When is someone/anyone going to challenge and refute these vile lies and smears. Boris say something ffs.

Lies! Stop fuelling hate!

Racist inciting acts of violence

Yes it was a bad thing. You can’t change history but how about fighting for modern day slavery. Black peoples are being sold in Libya, does she care about that. What about concentration camps in China today, does she care about that.

I have never come across a single person who thinks this

Only ones would be those who are from countries that still practice it - like North Afica

Who? Find me six?

Top?

Muslims?
