Because little Stevo and his gang of pedo thugs will stand guard as long as the cameras are rolling - he's got to fund that habit somehow.

Completely false ^

Churchills body went from ST Pauls cathedral to Waterloo by boat and the docks were a few miles in the other direction, so, false story 

 

 So, it would be a fitting tribute , for  statues of Churchill , to be the Thames estuary ..

He’s going to be moved to Princes St in Edinburgh.

The ILO has been monitoring slavery in the Thai offshore fishing industry. It's obviously of less concern because it ain't Whitey that's doing it?!????

No he won't be. I like this movement, the speech in Oxford strikes a chord with me, it's time for a change.

 

They are chanting, people power, decolonize, this is democracy, take him down. So this is no longer about George Floyd as I thought all along, it's revolutionary...

Not at the hands of a leftie lynch mob. Any Govt that succumbs to such nonsense deserves the consequences.

More than a lynch mob, it's growing everyday and people wanting a change in direction for the 21st century. They are idealists, the people defending the statues are stuck in the past.

 

"The Robert Milligan statue on West India Quay may not come down today because the lorry needed to take it away, at 20 tonne, is too heavy for the 7.5 tonne limit on the dock. One option is he goes but the plinth stays."

More benefits ? More things for free ?

Why stop at statues, just destroy it all. Who needs a society anyway. 

 

That seems to be the heat of the moment emotion du jour. Also known as anarchy.

Yep, anarchy. This Oxford protest is more revolutionary than others I've seen. Pretty good orators and powerful speeches, whipping the crowd up, this is organised today.

Sadly a lot of the protestors are using 'oppressed' card to cover up for their own laziness and lack of desire to work hard to improve their own situation. Personally I think the current protests are doing a lot of damage to racial harmony. 

I'm embarrassed when I see white middle class Democrats 'taking the knee' over in the States. Do they seriously think the black boys from the hood are going to admire them for that?! It reminds me of Blair taking off his tie and rolling up his sleeves to look like a commoner ????‍♂️ 

 

This is an interesting take from a former (black) police officer:
