    Anyway, if the graffiti has any value this is probably to do with Bruce being a crusader which is really 'problematic' for the SNP as they have been milking this guy for decades.

      I agree that the indigenous people were there first. My point being that slavery didn’t happen in America until the old world ‘discovered’ it.

      I think you knew that though.

            Bruce was dead more than 150 years before Columbus discovered America.
            And racism was invented by Columbus?
            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
