One of my favourtie quotes..

"I have been fighting against the legacy of empire all my life... Anybody who has thought of giving me this OBE can't have read my work."

"It's partly the protest against this government, but to be honest if there wasn't this war happening I still wouldn't accept this OBE from the Queen," the poet said.

Black poet Benjamin Zephaniah's quote is perfectly an example for against the war. Just remember the British Empire killed countless Africans plus destoryed their values and communities.
