Mr Driver said he had no regrets for what he did.

He announced on his blog that he would be making, “no apology”.

On his blog he added: “I will go to court and fight my case.

“If I had my way, the museum would be shut down.

“The council is not listening and has no intention of addressing these issues.

“I believe that Broadstairs is Racism-on-Sea.

“The Black Lives Matter campaign is uncovering history we shouldn’t be celebrating.

“Some of the things these people said and did would be appalling even in their own times, it’s not just outdated views.”

“Ian Driver from Kent”

Sounds like the beginning of a limerick.

The marxists would be OK with that too... they are trying to utterly destroy western culture and they’re not really as selective about it as some think.

“He supported the Morant Bay rebellion in Jamaica in 1865.

No you dimwit, Dickens supported Gov Eyre in his very draconian suppression of the Morant Bay unpleasantness,

These triggered Marxists truly deserve an ass-kicking.

As much as I love Dickens' works, is as much as I revile the man!

What this present day idiot doesn't know is that Dickens was "WOKE", writ large, before such a stupid word/idea came into being! He was a product of his own time, yet soooooooooo far left that he was "down with the struggle", a pompous ass who courted publicity for his own "wokeness" and a lousy husband ( being an adulterer was only part of it...he also had a thing for his sister-in-law...though it was unfullfilled as far as I know ) and a worst father!

The who anti-Semitic thing, vis-a-vis Fagan is a canard, since Fagan and his boys were actually fashioned after a well know criminal and his band of child thieves and prostitutes that he ran in London, at that time.

He was a Marxist before Marx, yet that’s not enough to avoid being cancelled.

Mad Mo’s Koran refers to Jews as apes and pigs. Let’s see this idiot take on a mosque, seeing he finds Dickens to be an antisemite

"Dickens Racist, Dickens Racist". that he will make "no apology" for what he has done because the author was a "notorious genocidal racist"

Sanger Racist, Sanger Racist founder of Planed Parenthood notorious genocidal racist. She founded Planned Parenthood to get Black mothers to abort their babies in the hope that the Black race would perform genocide on themselves.

Someone needs to infiltrate BLM and planet that little nugget of truth in their minds.

It could drive a wedge between the BLM and the Democrats that just might be the salvation of our nation.

The Democrats are doing their best to protect the BLM on Capitol Hill. It the BLM starts attacking Planned Parenthood it might change the Democrats in Washington.

Planned Parenthood is one the Democrats favorite money trees.

Do these folks who are screaming racism realize that they are actually the racists? How so? Blaming the whole for the acts of a few....saying no one should have free speech or be entitled to their opinion except themselves.

Yes, it's the protesters who are racists.

It's commonplace to excuse traces of antisemitism etc in Dickens and others as simply reflecting the cultural norms of their time. But that isn't universal. Daniel Deronda, for instance, by his slightly younger contemporary George Eliot, is a remarkably sympathetic and prophetic study of early Zionism, as well as being one of the greatest English novels.

Stupid fool.   It's not racism.   It's classism.   British elites are the betters.   The yeoman and others below have to look up to their betters.   They still have a Queen.   How does this fool not know that?

I am glad Mr. Driver cleared all this up for us. I always thought that Dickens was certainly one of the greatest writers in the English language. But all along, I’ve been wrong!

I think it would help Trump’s numbers if brought in military and wiped the streets clean.

In western movies. They brought in the cavalry and the audience would erupt into applause.

Its not working to let them roam.

June 30, 1857, Charles Dickens reads from A Christmas Carol at St. Martin’s Hall in London—his first public reading.
