The people united, will never be defeated. This is what democracy looks like.

That isnt quite how democracy works .

Lots of people whom all agree with each other , congregating  and all shouting the same thing doesnt quantify as being "democracy"?

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.

Wait until the idiots try to remove Horatio Nelson from Trafalgar Square. Might please the French though.

You won’t see TR, he won’t get that far. 
 

Thomas “Fall” Guy.

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

I don't know. Remind me, what was used to replace the statues of Saddam Hussein that were torn down by the US in Iraq?

Looks like it worked ok in Bristol, and as a result another one bit the dust.

They were just left empty, empty plinths .

But if they need any statues for the empty plinths, we got a few going spare that they can have

No TR will be detained by the police. There is a statue of Guy at the hospital, could well be the next public toppling.

That in no way represents a democracy and those who fought  to get one including all the women and their votes, wait until it's something you  might disagree  with and the mob sorts  it  out not in your favour.

Yeah when the pubs open.

...perhaps, but i think before then they'll be something else coming along to occupy minds. Remember Dominic Cummings? He was all the rage a few weeks ago! ????

[Logosone]

Charles Dickens is also on the list.

 

Too many racist caricatures in his books.

 

Just saw a Sky news video of a black guy in the UK protesting "Why do I have to, when I go to Brixton library, see a bust of this man?".  So funny. The terrible impositions on some people, they have to look at busts. What a terrible suffering some go through.

[CorpusChristie]

Should this statue be removed ?

But no one was protesting about that, this time it's personal for both sides. Summer of discontent.

Most likely. And will probably be in honour of some trans woman.

Rhodes Scholarships. . .  have allowed more than 8,000 students from countries around the world to study at Oxford 

 

Assumedly these will be be given the elbow along with Cecil, as no black student will want to benefit, however indirectly, from the fruits of imperialism and slavery.

These statues symbolise a part of our mutial history, right or wrong, but.. our mutual history.

By erasing this, in just a few generations we all will not be remembered anymore to what then is now so much detested.

We also do not remove the statues of the Roman Emperors, nor Charlemagne, despite all have the blood of many on their hands.

 

In these cases I always remember the little maritime museum in Dover, with a conserved boat out of the Stone Age plus.. a little wooden sculpture from maybe 3000 before Chr, with 3 sailors, of which the cocks were made a LOT smaller during the Victorian Era...

Roman and Greek stone/marble statues are tourist attractions and preserved in museums mostly. The statues being pulled down are not tourist attractions and generally dirty.

 

Who cares about someone from the 1800s, it's not even recent history. The statue of Bobby Moore outside Wembley is more relevant.

So we can look forward to them imposing their prejudices and views on everyone by removing the memory of great people of the past and replacing it with "George Floyd Square" "Rosa Luxemburg Lane" and "Antifa Close".

I can actually envisage George Floyd having stuff named after him, or a statue going up. I heard a clip of Reverend Al praising him to the rooftops at the memorial. Praising this violent career criminal and heavy drug user who once held a gun to a woman's stomach while burgling her home. Is this what Reverend Al wants his 'people' to aspire to I wonder ????‍♂️

how about replacing them with some truly inspirational people, who have not only done good, but have inspired others to do good: Leonard Cheshire, Douglas Bader, Charles 11, William Wilberforce of course, William Williams, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Hunt, Edmund Hillary, Tensing Norgay, Cook, Adams, Etc.  Of course, if it was up to me I would replace them all with statues of Margaret Thatcher, hundreds, no thousands of them, in every nook and cranny of the UK.  

Edmund Hillary, the New Zealander who took all of the credit for being the first man to reach the summit of Everest. His Sherpa guide Tenzing was nothing but a side note. I see the PC brigade have caught up and he now gets a surname. 

 

James Cook, on that list, is quite debatable too. He dispossessed, for the Crown, Australia's indigenous people from their land. Does that make him a hero? His first encounter with the Maoris resulted in a fight that killed some... of course they weren't important because they were "natives". No doubt the Aboriginals and Maoris would have been quite content had Cook never come to visit.

 

All this colonization was not for the benefit of the original inhabitants and in most cases destroyed their lives.

I agree and honestly, I couldn't care less about the statues. What I find disturbing is the knee-jerk reaction by those in power. Already Sadiq Khan is implementing a program to remove statues of people who have chequered histories without proper consultation. It's his dictororial attitude that I find offensive.

 

That's a complete misrepresentation of what is actualy happening, why don't you research it properly and come back with a sensible (i.e. more factual) contribution.

I just want to see the Liverpool team having to celebrate lifting the trophy whilst social distancing, fake plastic champions COYG

 

The protesters seem to a lot college and uni students, which are all shut in most countries around the world. That's why I think it will continue and morph into more anti-government protests with rising unemployment.
