BBC Bans Comments after Tweet on Queen Elizabeth Sparks Outrage
A number of people took issue with the post, with many providing examples of how African freedom fighters suffered at the hands of their British oppressors throughout the years - including concentration camps, amid widespread starvation and torture in Kenya.

What hurts the natives so much is that Elizabeth Windsor, during her lifetime, never acknowledged these crimes that Britain and her family in particular perpetrated across the world.
