Would I be right to assume that if these colleges etc really do feel shamed about their founders past and how the money donated was came upon that they'll all sell their significant investment funds, buildings and empty their bank accounts and return all that money to the appropriate reparation fund?

You don't half post some nonsense.

Imagine having so little going on in your life that you have the time to get outraged because someone took a picture you'll never see off a wall you'll never see in a room you'll never go in at an institution you'll never visit

It’s such a useful distraction from a court ruling a minister is corrupt. So many dead cats

I remember there being similar uproar when a poster of Sam Fox was taken down from our Common Room. We soon got over it!

Re-read the story.....it was the students and not the college themselves.

How many 18-25 year olds have picture of the Queen on their bedroom/living room walls. In fact how many NSC peeps have a picture of the queen in their entire house. Guessing its pretty low.

So in terms of the story its as simple as young people removing picture that didn't resonate with them.

Reports that the student who drove this change was actually a student visiting from America ! (I’m embarrassed for myself )

Imagine if a British student tried to get a royal family portrait removed from a university in another country . They would be laughed at or worse .

Strange in this country we tolerate ‘ foreigners’ telling us what to do with our own British symbols .

It’s very insulting to the Queen .

You ever heard of the British Empire and the 'antics' that went on in 'foreign lands' by the British? Far more bloodier and sinister than the removal of a little picture.

I suspect we can name them all, though. :lolol:
