In a survey carried out in Bristol, a surprising 1,678 people out of 13,984 questioned want the Colston statue returned to it’s plinth. It’s these sorts of people who hold our wonderful country back; absolute scum. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-60247092 Luckily, 74% of right...

F*** me! I bet the ‘four’ are shitting it! “A petition calling for a retrial, claiming the acquittal set a “dangerous precedent that endangers all of our national heritage”, has so far attracted more than 5,000 signatures.” [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Who cares about those who can’t move on? The verdict won’t be changed. Let’s save the money and move on now.

.....or just damn right idiotic:

Indeed. My 5 year old was just asking me about Ghengis Khan and the fact he killed thousands of innocent people based on his concept of 'surrender or die', he said it "made him feel sad". I immediately accused him of naive historical relativity and explained that "the success of Mongol tactics...

Are people that stupid? You're going to have to give examples of other statues (and we're going to need a mass murdering exploitative slave trader here rather than a slave owner) you think are at risk?

People are getting very upset! Is it time to review the judicial system? "MP for Ipswich Tom C Hunt told the Telegraph: "If you've broken the law and committed criminal damage you should be punished. If the jury is a barrier to ensuring they are punished then that needs to be addressed."

Yes, earlier in this thread. As you can imagine with a Grimes quote, their point was very quickly dismantled and taken to pieces, thus making them look a complete nincompoop.

You are incorrect you know? His ideology (Marxism) was indirectly responsible for millions of deaths not directly. Ideology like Leninism can be more closely associated with the deaths of millions put perhaps it’s the warped ideology of Maosim & Stalinism that can be viewed as directly...

Surely, court verdicts that set precedents in law are based on a judge’s verdict rather than a jury’s which could go either way depending on the whim of the jurors?

Yes yes, but how many of the park inhabitants are actually Savile victims? Surely, there is more likely to be more happy jim’ll fix it badge holders, unless you had been interfered with by the man, you don’t have a right to be offended by him. We thought differently at the time about Jimmy, he...

Brilliant news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-59727161 There should be no statues of slavers in Britain. I’m sure Germany has not kept it’s Nazi statutes, this is not about brushing history under the carpet, it’s about not having offensive imagery in people’s faces. Those...
