    The lefty woke spastics

    Statues of British historic figures should be removed and streets renamed so as not to offend black people

    Right leaning Gammons

    No they shouldn’t

    Also lefty spastics

    We don't care about statues why are the gammons obsessed with removing statues and going on about it ?

    London is packed full of statues to the great and the good as well as some rather obscure Crimean War era bigwigs. Many of these were funded through public donation but others were paid for by the people themselves or their families. Some are controversial figures for sure but just because we don't know everything about them shouldn't mean anyone has the right to remove them just in case they might offend people.

    How many thousands or millions of times have Woke protestors driven by or walked past a statue of some pompous looking bloke on a horse and not given a single shiny f.uck about who he was or what he did? Fast forward to 2020 and these same people are all crowded around the statue waving poorly written placards decrying Lord Snootlebury as the most racist pig in the world.

    If the statue is of an old, white, rich Victorian chances are it is on the hit list.

    I like a bit of public art and that is what I think these statues are. Modern art has its place, those Gormley statues on the South Bank a while ago were fantastic, but historical statues have their place too and should be left alone instead of falling victim to the whims of snowflake protesters.

    Sure the Nazis weren't burning books, just getting rid of some paper. Toby and Archie would defend anything that their 'side' did. There are more open minded old firm fans ffs

    Why do you want statues taken down? There is a statue of Cromwell outside Parliament, he killed half of Ireland fs and I've never heard anyone even mentioning it. The Royal Victoria Hospital is slap bang on the Falls Road, and named after the Famine Queen, again I've never heard anyone wanting a name change, it's The Royal and even Gerry ****ing Adams has no problem calling it that.

    It's entitled ****s who think they're the kindest most thoughtful generation ever on earth being allowed to fo whatever the **** they want.

    Lefties keeping going on about this **** just means folk won't vote Labour, maybe that's what some of them want, it's always easier to talk ****e in opposition than actually Govenn.

    Do you think statues, regardless of who they are of, should be removed/taken down?

    You do realise that statues are taken down/moved/changed all the time, for many reasons, in cities all over the country?

    Show me where I have said I want statues taking down? For the last ****ing time, I couldn't give a **** about statues. I am not the one going on about them on here, it's all the Mail reading EDL spastics (include yourself) doing that.


    But while we're on the subject, how many statues of Hitler are there in Berlin? How many statues of Stalin in Russia? What do you think would happen if there was a statue of King Billy at the end of your street?

    If there was a Saville statue outside the BBC they'd all be gurning about wanting it torn down, the BBC sold off and all lefties involved sent to jail.

    Selective outrage, as I said earlier, just coz they don't think slavery was a big deal.

    I sacrifice a papist to it every year, and the crops have never failed yet
