The British left’s flagship newspaper is facing the call to eat its own tail, after more than 12,000 people have signed a petition calling for the liberal, pro-Black Lives Matter Guardian to be shut down over its historical links to slavery and for siding with the Confederate states during the American Civil War.
The Change.org petition to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) already has more than 12,000 signatures with the number growing hourly, spurred on by accusations against the newspaper of hypocrisy for backing the far-left BLM while having a history connected to slavery.
The call comes after far-left activists have demanded the removal of statues of prominent figures in British history who may have profited from slavery, supported colonialism, or even have been wrongly accused of extremism.

I needed something to make me smile today. Thanks!
So....where do I sign?
Still no calls to disband the primary supporters of slavery, bigotry, and racism in our history—the Democrat Party.
Anyone that goes after Lincoln us a racist bigot.
Wu hu! Wait till blacks in America finally realize the demonicRAT Party is the political equivalent of The Guardian.
That's why they're so busy tearing down statues of their founders.
Anybody remember when mob rule was bad? That civilization requires intellectual discourse? Or why there are laws in the books against lynch mobs?
naaah - twitter mobs full of sock puppet accounts now rule the world.
The Democrat Party had nothing to do with slavery. In fact, it opposed it. According to Wikipedia.
White liberals need to give up their jobs to black people. If they don't sacrifice, they are racist.
Lol
Bongino refers to this _____ as the cancel culture or cancel movement. Eventually, they’ll be cancelling their own members. When purity is demanded, eventually, the most pro (insert movement name here) will be found to have flaws, thus must be canceled.
Too funny.
Well, New York City itself should have a lot of guilt about the times of slavery as it’s ports profited a great deal from the cotton and other items being produced on Southern plantations. Apparently, Tammany Hall politicians wanted to separate New York City from the abolitionist state government in Albany because of these ties and the newspapers and pamphlets published often had pro Confederate and pro slavery biases.
There you go sir!
Round up democRATs and exile them to the gulag for links to slavery and the kkk.
Thing is we need to read/see what the other side is doing. How else can we know what they’re up to?
We need to constantly pound the Democrats for their very racist past (and often present!). We have recordings of both Lyndon B. Johnson and Joe Biden using the N-word; both Bill and Hillary Clinton using the Confederate "Stars and Bars" flag in their political campaign promotions; and history of KKK, which is a Democratic political movement.
The Atlantic Journal Constitution needs to be shut down, I’m sure this Atlanta paper has had biased editorials on slavery in the past.
You forgot the punch line: "Yeah! That's the Ticket! Democrats fought against slavery! The KKK was Republican! Yeah! The choco ration will be increased from 30 to 20 grams!"
“Democrat Party had nothing to do with slavery. In fact, it opposed it. According to Wikipedia.”
