    I'm not bothered about removing statues. Not much point pulling down a statue, when the power structure that protects corruption and injustice remains in place.

    In Liverpool the council considered renaming Penney Lane, and other streets and monuments named after slavers, but they decided instead to create a museum of slavery, to encourage people to learn about history - including the bits the ruling classes airbrushed out.

    Do you think the Russian government was wrong to tear down the statues of Stalin from every town square and public place? Should statues of Mussolini be restored to Rome?

    Scotland should embrace the Cult of progressive intersectionalism and field an entire squad of trans footballers at the next Women's World Cup.
    Just put lipstick on the Scottish players from the St Mirren team and get them to run with their hands flapping about like how girls run .
    You would probably get out the group stages .

    Mussolini's face was a shade of purple, when he found out.

    Morris Minors, which I believe comes from the French " Maurice Miner", the nickname of the first Frenchman to drill for crude oil, refine it to petroleum suitable for a combustion engine and then surrender to the Germans.

    @Toby to confirm

    Hate to disappoint you but was taught about cromwells army and the Orish at school. I learnt about the rest of our history myself. Quite interesting both good and bad. But better airbrush it all out, cant upset the far left can we.

    Problem with school is they only teach a few basic history lesson and not a wider diverse amount

    If you really cared about slavery you would concentrate on the actual slaves being sold in Arab countries and Africa today .

    When you start comparing Stalin and Mussolini to Sir Francis Drake it just shows you up for your bizarre self hatred .

    A communist and a Nazi with millions of deaths on their hands .

    Edward Colston was a Merchant of everything and at the time bought slaves legally from African slave traders, he didn't massacre millions of people because of his warped ideology.

    Islam was built on slavery and subjugation and still promotes it to this day , by this logic we should burn Korans and bulldoze mosques.

    For some reason only Western civilisations are held to account for perceived atrocities and the rest of the World are given a free pass.

    I don’t want to airbrush any of it out. But to hold the left responsible for something the establishment has been doing for centuries, is absurd.

    I dont see any centre or right leaning people wanting to pull down statues, only the far left want that. The far left are woke ******s and must be stopped at all costs before they destroy what little is left of this country.

    Pretty sure the Daily Mail were outraged by the statues of Ghandi and Nelson Mandela in Parliament Square, and wanted them removed.

    Ask yourself who puts the statues up in the first place. Why is there a statue of Richard, Couer de Leon outside Parliament, when he never spoke English and hardly ever visited the place? (No, I don’t want it removed btw. I love the irony of it).

    Gabba gabba gabba Tory scum gabba gabba Mussolini gabba gabba .

    You endorse Socialism which is a precursor to Communism which is responsible for millions of deaths wherever it is tried out .

    Much like these black clad violent fascist goons that want to tear down statues and burn Western civilisation down in modern society.
    Antifa and Momentum types that share your child like World view.

    "Pretty sure" as you have proven on a daily basis is not rooted in reality you just made it up.

    It’s a straight choice between Antifa and Momentum or the EDL for you isn’t it?

    Try thinking for yourself for once. Or better still, go and have a lie down. Can’t be doing you any good being this angry on a Sunday morning.

    “Providing a link” is what passes for reasoned debate in your world, but not in mine. I refer the right honourable gentleman to my comment above, about thinking for himself. I gave to go now, and attend to my tomatoes.
