Like it or not its part of the countrys history. The end of the day the human race is full of hypocrisy Have you missed the push over the past week for more of Britain's colonial/slave trading/generally horrifically racist history to actually be taught in schools? The push being made by exactly the same movement which tore down that statue today? Seems to me that teaching children in schools is probably a more effective method of making sure people know about and learn from history than leaving up a random scattering of statues across the country. Genuinely wild that the line folk are going for with this is 'erasing history' when that history goes completely ignored and unacknowledged every single day in this country. Willing to bet that most of the people opposing it being torn down had never even heard of this guy until today and had no idea this historically crucial statue existed. I know I hadn't which is absolutely shameful both on a personal level and as a comment on how completely absent from life in the UK any acknowledgement of the non sunshine and rainbows elements of our history is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was tripping the first time I was there during the balloon festival. I had always thought Balloon Landing was a strange name for a place when I seen it on buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the harbourside pubs wanting you to re-mortgage for a round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built it with that in mind, so it's either climbing gear and a fuckoff cordless angle grinder, or explosives. You'll need @Wee Willie if you want to go the explosives route. Wheesht!

The majority are genuine in the USA, but the police over there are letting the minority looters get away with it as an excuse to crack down on peaceful protesters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well so long as they teach the kids that slavery was abolished in the UK in 1834, and that almost all BAME arrived in the UK after the Second World War and were NOT brought here as slaves, that'd be a good start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
