An interesting piece of propaganda.

It took black Americans long enough to get Liberté, but when can they expect égalité and fraternité?

Who knows, I'm more interested in when this gold spot price is going to decrease 😂 Probably when the Marxists leave them be

that Irish indentured servitude of the 1700-1800s is akin to chattel slavery of Africans in the Americas 

People have been stolen from the British Isles and used as slaves for at least 2000 years. 
We have the recent Wokery about 'Rule Britannia' not being sung at the Last Night of the Proms 'due to associations with colonialism and slavery.'
Now this is the usual Leftist, anti-White distortion and re-writing of history.

Rule Britannia has nothing to do with colonialism - but it has everything to do with slavery. 

Between the beginning of the 16th century and the end of the 18th, the southern coast of England was terrorised by Barbary corsairs who stole many thousands of English people and sold them as slaves in Africa (the irony). Parliament was petitioned to strengthen the Royal Navy to protect the shores and seas - to 'rule the waves' - so 'Britons shall never be slaves' (again). It is a celebration of Britons no longer being taken as slaves and ruling the waves off the coast of the British Isles. This isn't the story that is being told by the Leftists. It is spun as something racist. It is cultural appropriation and distortion. It is part of the fake history being spun to make out White people are always the oppressors. Funny the Blacks in the North Atlantic Slave Trade were taken into slavery by other Blacks and more often than not sold to Jewish slave traders - but that would be 'racist' for me to say that. Jokers.

agreed, the slavery by the middle east/North Africa is still ongoing and has been that way since at least the rise of a certain Arab religion, yet for some reason that one is always ignored in favour of the transatlantic one. They like to twist the Crusades as well whilst completely forgetting why those occurred. No idea why they're targeting Rule Britannia, I think they need to start asking people of colour if we actually find these things offensive before deciding on our behalves. I don't recall completing any surveys.... 

I for one would like to move beyond the slave narrative, let America carry on that silly dispute, Britain is over it. Just give me some minority coins with models who are actually attractive 😂 and leave the Britannia alone!! She's gorgeous as she is!

@TutoredSoup232 - i will second that.

This is the Woke culture we see all around us now. i watch a youtube channel, History Debunked https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCREM9VRZnIJHTw-oqfwgNUQ

He points out what we all should realise is going on. It is not reflecting anything other than the subversion of Western society. 

I'm still trying to work out what "Woke" means, and who coined such an ugly and ungrammatical word.

Thanks for the History Debunked link, I just watched the most recent half dozen. I also feel annoyed that so much effort seems to be going into re-writing history.

i am Irish / English ancestry. There have been more people stolen into slavery from English and Irish shores than ever there were Blacks in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Of course the vast majority do not know about this. In any case Blacks are simply a tool of the elite, which is why we keep hearing about 'Slavery' when that ended in the West two centuries ago.
There is no such thing as being equal other than in law - which as i see it is actually being used to beat down the indigenous people, particularly men. i believe in a meritocracy, not the Woke distortion of egalitarianism. 

I was not aware of the extent of English and Irish slavery, but have frequently been reflecting recently about slavery being very common in ancient Greece, despite its reputation as the home of democracy; and of course in ancient Rome.

Indeed the earliest depictions of Britannia were as a captive, therefore probable slave on some ancient Roman coins:

Which brings us very nearly full circle to where we came in.

I thought gold was looking cheap, considering it was almost £1600 per ounce last August.

True, however it was 1212 not too long ago and my cheap self can't let that figure go...

You've got a far better memory than I have.

1212 is over 800 years ago, and I can't remember anything that far back!🙂

In that case you're risking a £1000 fine if you don't complete your Census return by midnight! 🙂

Hi @LawrenceChard According to this article the word was probably seen in the first edition of “The Negro Digest” in 1942.  I suspect there is more to the word “woke” as  the article suggests. 
 

Before anyone explodes with confected rage, the Negro journal was created a black gentleman and for black people.

Many people are also not aware of the extent of European slaves in Muslim countries, from several fronts - via the Ottoman Empire and along the coasts, all the way up to England and Ireland. We are talking about millions:

Good effort @LawrenceChard however she quite literally flounced out with the Megxit proclamation. Cannot agree she represents the "spirit of the nation" by sitting in voluntary exile in her Californian mansion, surely? 😛

OK, we did a California version:

I wish they all could be California Girls.

[sovereignsteve]

I think you're on to something with these coins of yours, definitely worth pursuing IMHO

Do you still have a surfboard?😉

[TutoredSoup232]

Now we've seen the front, what will be on the reverse? 

Also have you worked out pricing yet? Any mintage figures?

[Chrisplym]

Has anyone received the standard design of the 2021 2oz gold Britannia yet?

If so, have you found the gold to be of a darker colour where one of her knees would be, towards the centre of the coin? Is it meant to be like this? It looks a little like it is the same on the photos on the Royal Mint website.

[Chrisplym]

My 2oz gold 2021 proof Britannia. I am not great at taking photos, but it looks superb in the hand. The coin is for sale with Britannia Coin Company for £12,500!

I think that this one is a keeper and will be put into my bank safe deposit box.
