Lenny Henry

[Forest Hillbilly]

Those Cornish raiders have an awful lot to answer to.

I think you'll find Cornish people are very family-orientated. 😀
That sticky-out bit of England has a very limited gene-pond. 🙂

So although we've established Lenny isn't dead, his career was devoid of life from the mid 1980's

I'm fine with this as long as we can deduct all the benefits they have received plus healthcare and education plus the billions we have given to Africa in aid.

Oh it doesn't work like that! 😀

Racist 🤣

 

[Spiderman]

Virtue signaling at its dreariest.

Why oh why is he given a platform to peddle this nonsense?

Yep I wonder why? 🤔

 

[Spiderman]

Lenny Henry surely knows the role played by African chiefs and leaders in the enslavement of black Africans? Coining it in the slave market through the capture and sale of their fellow man?

Make him watch the first episode of Roots, that should do it

Lenny used to make me laugh and he has again - for different reasons.
How do you qualify as black? How about mixed-race?
Do you get paid on a sliding scale depending on your degree of blackness? Would a sun-tan qualify for a few quid?

 

[Teddy Eagle]

I wondered if Red Nose day was looming. Comedy was never Lenny's strong point.

St. Schmeichel's Day.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Comedy was never Lenny's strong point.

Much of his previous attempts, at humour, were about as funny as Cancer.

I was refering to the Moors raiding Cornwall and taking slaves.

Bloody tourists. Bet they didn't pick up their litter either.

 

[Spindle]

Another idiot, who by writing such s***, is probably stoking racial tensions. Every black Brit!! Ffs.
Perhaps go after the West African slave traders and the Dutch?
Obviously trying to be relevant now career is all but ended

All black Brits should be paid slavery reparations, says Lenny Henry

SIR Lenny Henry has argued that every black Briton should be paid reparations for slavery. The 67-year-old has argued that a whopping £18 trillion should be given to Caribbean nations by Britain. P…

He's always been a massive racist.

He's made a fortune from slavery himself, far more than the vast majority of Brits, so he needs to hand the lot over since he's so bitter about hos badly he's been treated. If we could trace his genes enough we might be able to find the tribe of his descendants and he can pack his bag and f*** off.

Maybe he can call his friend Ainsley Harriot, he was banging the same racist drum, until "Who do you think you are?" did their thing on him

I remember watching this episode, very interesting indeed

So Percy Pepper and Susie Salt were more than friends. Good for them.

Yes all those spices he uses, exploitation from around the world.

But Henry, he's always been a racist - why doesn't he apologise for all those stereotype black characters he played. Hypocritical tosser was never funny.

Per Google AI

"No, the Moors did not invade Cornwall, though Barbary pirates from North Africa, whom Europeans called "Moors", did launch raids and abductions from the sea in the 17th century, particularly in 1625 and 1645, capturing people from Mount's Bay and other coastal areas. These were not military invasions by an organized Moorish state but pirate raids to capture individuals for the slave trade, a common threat to England's coastal communities at the time. "

This means if you were particularly keen on a gal who was descended from these raids you could not correctly call her quite moreish (sic)

Ever since he teamed up with Dawn French he has tried to erase his dubious comedic past by being blacker than black.

He owes his 2nd career (unfunny spokesperson) to the BBC.

Ironic, really. She’s the only funny thing he’s ever been in.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

And so, was the rumour of a revival of his comedy-career only a fantasy ? A false Dawn ?

We are all descended from Viking raiders, Ghengis Khan, the Genocidal Yamnaya, or a Medieval Robber Baron, and Slave masters............its just that most people don't even know it.

Normal Lords did Chivalry on the battlefield, riding their horses into the fray. However they did another type of riding in the villages.....not so chivalrous and less heroic. Less well documented in the annals of the Bayeux Tapestry, but recorded in the DNA of many of us.

Like in the David Attenborough programmes, most male ancestors had some kind of dominance or Power in their World. Most female ancestors simply existed & reproduced. Lots of Kings and only a few Queens, or no Queens at all. From Bull Elephant Seals to the Houses of Parliament.

Julius Caesar was the exception to the rule. He conquered Europe and left it all to a distant nephew.

I wish you were right. My family seems to come from a long line of poor Irish. I was kinda hoping I’d be related to Charles or Camilla so I guess I will have to go down the Lenny Henry route.

"All right you English bar-stewards just because my family have been here since Victorian times it doesn't matter. I want compo for the oppression of my people and the potato famine. "

Patrick Moore has a lot to answer for.

Well, it was Tars ( Jolly Jack) at night.
