    Yep, with Lewis's BLM support and the royal family's historic ties to the slave trade, there is something a tad messed up with that. :/

    All that goes out the window when your masters give the call. Bit two faced is our great hero Lewis.

    Judging from the CFC in his name Joe is almost definitely a Glasgow Celtic fan which means he is likely of Irish descent. The Irish bear no allegiance to the queen and in fact are anti royal, hence his post. It is nothing to do with Lewis's skin colour.
    Now how could the reality of that overcome the fact that some think anyone who doesn't worship Lewis must be racist?

    I never have cared about it myself. Maybe it's still something the Brits admire, but to me it's just a strange way of acknowledging many wealthy people, who are often controversial. If it wasn't so much about money and included more average people, it might be given more notice from the rest of the world.
