Just Googled Afua Hirsch, and sure enough she has been through an identity crisis. To quote her..
But being African is an increasingly complex identity. As someone who has been told she is too black to be British, and too British to be African.
Which is all well and good but why confuse that with being blatantly anti British and wanting to pull our statues down. She says she has now moved back to Accra Ghana.

In fact the irony is she lives about 8 miles from where I am writing this today. But I'm not going through any crisis, just a bit of R&R and a few beers.
Blimey, she's got more chips than McCains........
Being brought up in a minority where numerous people treat you like dirt for no other reason than the colour of your skin has a way of doing that to some people.
I haven't seen any claims that she was treated like dirt?
I'm talking in general and putting it forward as a possible explanation. It's an everyday reality for many. Reduced from the 60's, 70's and 80's but still an unfortunate reality.
In London? Highly unlikely for a woman of her age.
Gertcha!

Stories like this keep the poorly educated, racist right wingers happy as it justifies their 18th century viewpoints.
