    This isn’t just a race issue, how many historical figures in general can people name?

    I’d gamble that 7% of British people think Winston Churchill signed the Magna Carta at the end of the first world war, and I include former prime ministers in that.

      I bet most people couldn’t name a prime minister under Victoria or the prime minister during WW1.

      I’m pretty certain there has never been a black person as important as those in British history.
