Mr Driver said he had no regrets for what he did.
He announced on his blog that he would be making, “no apology”.
On his blog he added: “I will go to court and fight my case.
“If I had my way, the museum would be shut down.
“The council is not listening and has no intention of addressing these issues.
“I believe that Broadstairs is Racism-on-Sea.
“The Black Lives Matter campaign is uncovering history we shouldn’t be celebrating.
“Some of the things these people said and did would be appalling even in their own times, it’s not just outdated views.”
“Ian Driver from Kent”
Sounds like the beginning of a limerick.
Fanatic.
The marxists would be OK with that too... they are trying to utterly destroy western culture and they’re not really as selective about it as some think.
Poor Tiny Tim, what will become of him now?
No you dimwit, Dickens supported Gov Eyre in his very draconian suppression of the Morant Bay unpleasantness,
These triggered Marxists truly deserve an ass-kicking.
Britain is finished. What the Nazis failed to achieve is now being carried out by the British elite.
PDJT should announce a travel boycott of Britain and convey his regrets to the Queen. Reason: unsafe destination for Americans.
What this present day idiot doesn't know is that Dickens was "WOKE", writ large, before such a stupid word/idea came into being! He was a product of his own time, yet soooooooooo far left that he was "down with the struggle", a pompous ass who courted publicity for his own "wokeness" and a lousy husband ( being an adulterer was only part of it...he also had a thing for his sister-in-law...though it was unfullfilled as far as I know ) and a worst father!
The who anti-Semitic thing, vis-a-vis Fagan is a canard, since Fagan and his boys were actually fashioned after a well know criminal and his band of child thieves and prostitutes that he ran in London, at that time.
Dickens advocated that charity be personal not government compelled.
He was a Marxist before Marx, yet that’s not enough to avoid being cancelled.
He was absolutely not.
I gotta agree.
I also think Santa is a racist ####. Never see black elves.
Easter Bunny...who paints eggs black..no one...why not?
Big Bird..an insult to the yellow man...
Charlie Brown..hell I think there was only one black kid out of the whole group
Ditto for The Jetsons
We need to rethink everything we thought we knew about racism.
Mad Mo’s Koran refers to Jews as apes and pigs. Let’s see this idiot take on a mosque, seeing he finds Dickens to be an antisemite
Ian Driver from Kent
Complained until he was spent
With small expectations
He slandered relations
And so to hell he was sent
Funny how these guys have nothing to say about the present day slave trade.
“Sounds like the beginning of a limerick.”
Ian Driver from Kent
Whose reasoning got up and went
I like it.
His father had been in Debtor's Prison, which is why he railed about those as well as the work houses and how they were run; however, he was all for a damned WELFARE STATE and worse.
Was he correct about some of the problems he wrote about? Yes, he was; however, his solutions were NOT what most of us would agree with and more Marxist than you seem to realize. And he was NOT a very nice person, whom even his friends admitted.
