    I admit to knowing about him but like everyone I live in the here and now ,
    I acknowledge they were different times with different attitudes , but to deny or hide the past is to deny the chance to learn from it.

    The one person who is camping to get it removed had a scholarship from the Rhodes Foundation. I wonder if she will pay them back. In face the Foundation funds lots of black people on scholarships to Oxford. I wonder if they pull the plug on it if they take his statue down.

    They were campaigning to get his statue removed a few years ago, but the locals voted to keep it. His name is all round Bristol, I’m sure he invested lots of money into the area, yes he had done wrong in the past, but who hasn’t.

    If its statues, films , TV programmes then logically it will be books next. Although there were many different types of books/ topics selected for destruction the premise for it was to deny a free thinking individual to form his or her own opinions .

    I feel as though I should claim that every game that Neath lost was clearly discrimination against the All Blacks
