Rhodes Must Fall - Oxford protesters target statue of colonialist

[evadgib]

I'm curious as to whether the Greek Island bearing the same name has any connection & how many of the professionally outraged students have holidayed there (18-30 debauchery an' all that)?

More SJW nonsense that is completely out of control

 

Are they going to replace the statue with some rainbow colored phallus?

Got that right. 

Rewriting history is pure stupidity. 

W/out Rhodes, the diamond and gold industry in southern Africa would not be as organized as they are. 

Rhodes was a visionary who got the Seleous Scouts started to hold back the Marxist terrorists in Rhodesia. A shame Britain abandoned those farmers.

Those white farmers declared its own unilateral deceleration of independence. They didnt want any help.

In my view the first black immigrants that came to the UK in the 50's (en mass) deserve a statue. They had to go through a lot..????

What did they "have" to go through....they all came voluntarily

Just woken up and had breakfast, cup of coffee next to laptop and I'm ready to hit this debate...

 

Take them all down, we don't need these people looking down on us anymore. They looked down on the average person when they were alive and still looking down on us in a stature now!

 

Power to the people, this is what democracy looks like. No peace, No justice. Decolonize, decolonize. Revolution 2020

I don't think Cecil John Rhodes had anything to do with the Selous Scouts, since they were a special forces regiment , raised in 1973, in the Rhodesian Army during the bush war with Marxist fighters under ZANU/ZAP until 1980 when Zimbabwe was established. Frederick Selous was indeed a friend of Rhodes but he died in 1917.

May I suggest a statue of Nelson Mandela in drag ! That should keep most of them happy, for a while at least, easily manipulated as they are ????

Not sure about drag but a few burning tyres around his neck included in the statue would be more appropriate to get across what he stands for.

Well, if you take India for example development aid is a tiny percentage of the UK GDP, however, the amount the UK looted from India is staggering by comparison. One does not weigh up the damage done by centuries of exploitation, famine, wars etc.

Quite an oddity .

A German criticising the UK for all the damage WE caused by war ................hhhmmmmmm

I suggest you read your own link. It quite clearly states that Rhodesia left the UK via a UDI.

So no I am not wrong about that.

They better come up with some better chants than, "go back to africa" "there's only one Lee rigby" and "get your tits out for the lads"

And taken down by those in authority at the time. Just look at London where they are getting rid of these statues to glorify slave traders. 

Who is...?

In South East Asia, we leave the statues of colonial governors for the pigeons to perch.

Same here, flithy bronze statues with pidgeon poo over them. No one patriotic cared about them until one was taken down, hypocrites. Anyone who is thinking of defending these statures is just looking for a fight against the protesters.

 

These statues are coming down and no one is going to stop it.

...they were offered free passage to the UK and a passport to help us out with labour shortages. True, no one forced them to come but they did so to better their lives in return the helped build the UK post world war two....When they got here they most definitely did 'have' to go through a lot

To be fair, the demo I saw the other day only had one line “Black Lives Matter” being squawked continuously. I was thinking as it was in Southend it may have got more attention  if they had mixed it up with  “Cod in Batter”

No surprise T(osse)R is rallying his troops. Never one to miss an opportunity. 
 

Fortunately sounds like the Police are one step ahead of him as always.

The Oxford protest was much better, like this.

 

The people united, will never be defeated. This is what democracy looks like. D D decolonize. People power. No justice, no peace. Take him down.

 

Those were chants, all the black lives matter chants were dumped.

He's not intelligent enough to come up with anything original and his lads will get a kicking from the protesters and the police.

That will be lightweight. Get yourself to London with the Fall Guy. 
 

Ps if you go to Chelmsford there is an excellent Thai food place in the open market
