Hard to know to whom you refer as there are a few who seem to be regularly confused about everything that is not written by their buddies.

maybe they and their buddies are very close almost as one you would say and use the same computer? you never know ,but sometimes i do wonder 

[Hanaguma]

Maybe it would be easier if the offended left would just provide a list of who would be acceptable to have statues of?  I wonder who would make the grade.....  

 

They seem to be following in the footsteps of Stalin- "show me the man and I will find you a crime".

[faraday]

Garden Gnomes.

 

They've gotta go, as they mock 'people of diminished stature'

 

Statues of Fairy's, as that can be a derogatory term.

 

The word Black needs to go & be replaced with 'absence of colour'.

 

Goes into a shop, asks for a T shirt in 'absence of colour', please.

 

Ridiculous - all of it.

 

Thanks lefties.

Ha ha, true.

i wonder what they were referred to at that time?

 

The word 'slave' originates from the eastern European Slavs who were sold into slavery by conquering peoples.

In English the word 'slave' appeared around 16th century.

"Bri-tons never never ne-ver SHALL be slaves".....

"Old English Wealh "Briton" also began to be used in the sense of "serf, slave" c.850;"

Oops!

the no manners / no education imported youth because the locals don't F... enough anymore, in the hope they would come and work ..... sad but true ...

 

no more pork served in school,  santa claus taken away , no more christmas tree .... 

If you're British, the christmas tree was of Estonian and Latvian origin, the idea imported into the UK by Prince Albert.

That's right. There are leftists with so much time on their hand all they do is look up maps and indentify statues they suggest should be destroyed. This is not a joke, there is actually a website dedicated to this.

I wish someone would sit down with the leaders of BLM and ask exactly what do they want and what is their goal...already in place is positive discrimination with all government bodies going out of their way to employ and promote people of colour based solely on their colour rather than experience or qualifications. There ISNT racism in schools anymore, in fact ethnic kids have their own taxpayer funded activities that are closed to whites....what is it that want???

'with equal qualifications people of colour preferred' is far from the same as 'promote people of colour based solely on their colour'.

[Logosone]

The thing is the leaders of BLM are not the leaders of this Antifa Taleban insurrection. The BLM leaders do not control the Antifa leaders.

 

BLM is happy to do common cause with Antifa, because they have a convergence of objectives in the short term.

 

Antifa want to cause maxium destruction and BLM want attention for racism.

 

However, Antifa aims are by no means confined to tearing down statues. Like all left wing extremists in the past they are ideological fanatics and want a new society based on extreme left wing directions.

My thoughts go to all the poor pigeons across the country, soon there will be absolutely nowhere to take a poop ????

[Deerculler]

All this <deleted> is happening in New Zealand too.

It needs to be stopped.

Otherwise it will go on and on.

[stevenl]

Imo someone like Baden Powell should never have had a statue. Different from people like Rhodes etc, even though the latter is responsible for many more deaths.

Need to take down Nelson mandala statue , terrorist and murder

No, but apart from that he didn't do very well as Britain's last Viceroy to India. How many perished because of partition?

Be careful liking them to The Taliban...Nigel Farage was forced to resign because of that

Oh that's ok then, very fair, a black person is "preferred" over a white person....don't you just see the irony and hypocrisy of it all...

There is a considerable difference between being a racist & all the good work he did, & Colston being a slave trader.

 

Lefties are getting their way though.

 

No doubt, my friend on here who disagrees with almost everything I say, will be along soon to 'put me right'.

Critics say he was "a racist and supporter of Hitler".

 

I have not seen one shred of evidence to support either accusation.

 

Maybe what they mean was he wasn't an extreme left Marxist supporter so he must be bad, bad, bad.

 

Weak mindless ignorant local government left wing politicians pandering to minority groups denouncements and wanting to be seen to be politically correct.

But it elevated his sadly deluded mother to the House of Lords where she often spits spiteful anti white racist views.

 

How many black lives in the UK have been lost at the hands of other black people? By far the bigger number is gang related black on black.

 

The amount of money spent bringing Lawrence's killers to justice and the amount of media coverage it has and still attracts suggests your statement is utterly wrong.

Quite a lot. But Hindu Muslin violence happened before and after the British. And still does.

[Mac98]

Lindbergh admired Hitler. I guess his statues on two continents will soon disappear. 

   Paintings of all the world's political, educational, scientific, musical, moral, and city-building leaders will have to be covered or removed if they ever told a joke or wrote a memo that could make someone somewhere uncomfortable.

   The thing to do is stop calling them monuments; call them history preservation statues. Push a button and hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. Trump's could go on for weeks. Thank gawd the first part can be skipped.

"with equal qualifications people of colour preferred'

 

So would you be equally as happy if it said "with equal qualifications white people preferred' ?

getting out of hand now, there will nothing left of Britain's past, which can not be undone, the past is the past 

Outcry spreading to the far east. Statues of Sir Stamford Raffles in Singapore and Frank Swettenham in Malaysia are in peril of being removed. No one want to be reminded of those colonization days.
