HEAR ALL SIDES: Letters to the editor
IN the annals of modern history, Africa, the peoples of African descent and people of colour have had no greater friend or supporter than the United Kingdom (with perhaps the exceptions of Cuba, the former German Democratic Republic and the former Soviet Union).

Take a knee? Not me. What I might take, however, is a page from their own misguided manifesto and start putting the interests of “my own” community first.
If that makes this life-long Socialist a racist, then so be it.
Brad Ballantyne, Piercebridge.
