    As a white British man. I'm so proud of the local people of Bamber Bridge and how they all stood up to the terrible racist bullying of the American MP's on that occasion. The locals insistence to side with those black American soldiers makes me feel so proud. I heard also, the main reason those 27 'convictions' were quashed was due to the level of outrage shown by the British people to the American diplomatic service here in the UK. There can never be any excuse for racism of any kind, anywhere in the 21st century. 🙋‍♂

    This is such a crazy story it’s hard to believe it’s true, but it is.

      Yeah but it's not the narrative they want. If it was the other way around then yes... It would have been played to death on bbc

    Who was Bamber Bridge named after?

      It isn't named after anyone; it comes from the Old English "bēam brycg" which means tree-trunk bridge

    Let's not forget.... The UK is the most racist country in the whole wide universe of all universes that have been and gone for all time
