There were some very satisfying replies to this guy’s ‘Africa Festival’ protest

A chap called Michael Jones isn’t happy that a central London street was closed off for the Africa Centre’s annual summer festival (very good it was too, by all accounts).

They’d call it a right wing English festival & it would be condemned by the media & the left.
