Alex Scott visits Jamaica for the first time! | WDYTYA UK
Ойын-сауық
Presenter and former footballer Alex Scott delves into both sides of her family history. Having known nothing of her Jewish ancestry on her mum’s side, Alex is proud to discover that her great grandad was at the Battle of Cable Street in London’s East End in 1936, facing down fascist followers of Oswald Mosley. On the other side of her family, Alex’s Jamaican grandparents were part of the Windrush generation. Alex travels to Jamaica for the first time in her life, following her beloved nan Philicita’s line, and discovers the enormous hardship her great-great-grandmother Henrietta Coombs suffered. Two generations further back, Alex is shaken to learn about another ancestor whose lifetime began during the era of slavery and ended after its abolition.

To everyone hating on the mask, this was filmed in 2021 during the height of Covid. Notice how far she is standing from the other woman as well, its not embaressing she was literally doing what was recommended at the time.

And what the TV production company no doubt required as part of their health and safety procedures at the time.

And I have a relative who is a nurse and people are still catching Covid and people like me are at risk if I catch it. People should be free to do whatever

I thought she was darker in complexion, but that us TV fo ya Good to see she came here.
You have family in Jamaica and you’re not broke but it’s your first time going ? She might as well have not bothered. It amazes me how she went enquire about the dead but not her live family kmt.
Nice
True Jamaican, hella occupations lol
He seems more like a ginnal than a jack of all trades. Seems like this lady wanted her turn of the century ancestor to be a Prince or something.. Back then the typical person was a servant, farmer or laborer and it qas all good

Ginnal was the first word out of my mouth too😂. I don't agree with the rest of your comment though, I actually think she is surprised that he seemed to be doing OK.
There’s a massive difference between working class and slavery…
Allow her, she’s just over protecting herself due too the plandemick. It was an eye opener, and taught me a thing or two. As a Jamaican 🇯🇲
Alex scott is a cutie

@@Marcel_Audubon To be fair, they are coming out with information these days stating that they’re not so sure the masks did anything at all. That doesn’t mean people don’t have a right to wear them or should be criticized for their choice to wear one.

I love this but there’s nothing positive about being a servant to anyone.

She should be ashamed, find a man in your life, how come she didn't take her girlfriend with her?

This is your takeaway from this video? Why concern yourself with what other people choose to do with their face?. It certainly does not affect you.
