And I spent a few years living in Norwich.

You know, there's a castle in Norwich.

It's a very old castle.

It's built by the

not by the, but for the Normans 1,000 years ago.

And of course, Norwich is very proud of this castle.

Look, we've got a castle.

There's a museum here.

Isn't it beautiful?

Isn't it historic?

Isn't it heritage?

And I just can't look at it without thinking that's a symbol of slavery.

The Normans came here.

They forced the Anglo-Saxons to build this.

And, you know, hundreds no doubt died and were whipped and imprisoned and brutalized to do this.

And then it's still here and you're so proud of it.

So, yeah, I mean, that's a kind of a particular way of looking at buildings.

But, you know, I'm still perfectly capable of enjoying the landscape on a beautiful sunny evening.

Like Mr. Berman, I'm always seeing the other side.

That's a very good question, a very interesting question.
