I don't know what to make of that tbh. You can't avoid the past and wash it away.The Edward Colston statue (famous slave trader and philanthropist) has been pulled down and chucked in the river here.
You need to tell the leader of the 'Free World'.Anthony Joshua gave a speech and told people to just spend their money in black owned shops or within their community.
That shit doesn't help in the slightest, division the other way is completely the opposite.
Especially when he took his fight to an overly racist and homophobic country for more money.
Not helpful at all to try and stir things up like that.
That’s great (minus the lack of social distancing). Seen the video, almost all white people. The statue has been a bone of contention in Bristol for decades. Good on em.The Edward Colston statue (famous slave trader and philanthropist) has been pulled down and chucked in the river here.

I think this city has a hell of a lot more to do in educating people about its role in the slave trade. Part of that could have been a museum where the statue could have been relocated to. There have been campaigns to have it moved for a long tome that have the support of the majority of people from what I can tell. Leaving it there on route is a red rag to a bull that could have been avoided.I don't know what to make of that tbh. You can't avoid the past and wash it away.
My daughters first protest proud

Churchill was a racist though. Still that's something you have in Commonhark at all the left here praising vandalism. Now they vandalised Churchillhope you are all happy now. it’s getting beyond a joke. what’s this got to do with George Floyd?
Oh pipe downWhoever Vandalised the Churchill statue is a c**t, I’m all for the peaceful BLM protests but that is a fucking joke and has no relevance what so ever

I don’t think anyone is more happy than you. It gave you the opportunity to be angry with the left.hark at all the left here praising vandalism. Now they vandalised Churchillhope you are all happy now. it’s getting beyond a joke. what’s this got to do with George Floyd?
Did you have a problem when the Jimmy Saville statue was removed?What will they do next? Pull down the Jimmy Hill statue for when he defended Ron Atkinson’s comment on Marcel Desailly?
The relevance is that Churchill and race had a long and dodgy history of doing down different races and indeed any religion that wasn’t Protestant.Whoever Vandalised the Churchill statue is a c**t, I’m all for the peaceful BLM protests but that is a fucking joke and has no relevance what so ever
They wrote was a racist on his statue and he was in fact a racist.Pipe yourself down you melt
Vandalising his statue is fucking awful, whats it got to do with a peaceful march?

Remember when he posted a video of a few Asian lads on a street but was very silent about white folk on beachesI don’t think anyone is more happy than you. It gave you the opportunity to be angry with the left.
Bet you’re still fuming about Dominic Cummings.A lot of anger on this thread.
I'll say this : I spent over 9 weeks in lockdown, doing as I was asked . In doing so, I've allowed some (hopefully) healthy people to go out on the streets completely without regard for social distancing and with one aim which is to cause trouble. The majority aren't and I hope they get their message across and go home feeling that at least they've done something.
To the rest, I really don't care if you go home and become ill, because right now I feel I've wasted the last few weeks being careful.

I'm not going to condone vandalism but its naive in the extreme to say Churchill has no relevance what so ever when its an anti-racism protest. He was about as racist as they come!Whoever Vandalised the Churchill statue is a c**t, I’m all for the peaceful BLM protests but that is a fucking joke and has no relevance what so ever

"I cannot understand this squeamishness about the use of gas, I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes"
“I do not admit for an instant that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the Black People of Australia... by the fact that a superior race has come in and taken its place”
History has been very revisionist where Churchill is concerned. Try googling the Tonypandy riots or Bengal famine, its not pleasant reading.
As I mentioned yesterday, if this persists then public sympathy will wain.Some disappointing scenes at these protests which takes away from the overall message. Also disappointing that the police have allowed them to get away with it.
Hardly unbiasedI have almost no knowledge of those events so will read up. Interestingly, the first link I came across is this:
Did Churchill Cause the Bengal Famine? - The Churchill Project - Hillsdale College

Not entirely sure something called the Churchill Project is giving an unbiased view. Will give it a read later though.I have almost no knowledge of those events so will read up. Interestingly, the first link I came across is this:

What about my daughter. Which group was she in?March just gone through Earlsdon.
Pretty big march.
I'd say 65 percent social distancing 35 percent not bothering.
