Current Affairs London Protests

[Toast]

Burning Beatles memorabilia when?

No that was in America.
Bigger than God when Lennon said that.

 

[Connor]

The Cecil Rhodes statue will be next

Another mask slips.

Nothing to slip mate - if you think people going round ignoring social distancing, smashing innocent peoples stuff up, attacking police and horses, damaging local property all because of an incident in ANOTHER COUNTRY then you are blinded by your politics.

Im sure when the inevitable EDL thugs wade in and attack some innocent minorities in retaliation will have been it all worth it huh?

It is and I'm sure there was a thread on here a while back listing all the roads, buildings etc connected to slave trade etc in Liverpool but I can't find it.

Current Affairs - Liverpool streets named after slavers....

Should we look to rename the likes of Bold Street, Rodney Street etc Streets named after notorious slave traders, we should look to change and not honour their legacy of ill gotten gains through the slave trade. Anyway, lets vote.

These aint black lives matter - they are thugs.

You do realise these are people who are literally protesting to stop being marginalised and killed, by the establishment, and you’re piling on them for days, comparing them to grooming gangs and Nazis? Get a grip mate, you’ve made it perfectly clear in these threads that black lives don’t matter to you.

 

[Tubey]

Why do you and others keep making the assumption that knocking down a statue means erasing them from history?

No one has said all the books need to be burnt other than you.

What on earth is the point of doing it if that isn't the intent?

No the peaceful element of the protests have intended that - these are just thugs and if you cant differentiate then you're part of the problem.

That you’ve not understood or even acknowledged any of what people have been saying or trying to explain to you on here about this issue is, sadly, very telling.

To stop the celebration of the person, I think you are getting confused.

 

[Wizard]

The intent is to stop glorifying their legacy by having a statue of them up. This does not equate to erasing them from history as this will still be taught.

Gandhi statue next?

 

[KaiserEFC]

I’ve never understood the people who go round defacing war memorials and graves in these situations

 

[coollino]

Gandhi statue next?

There is an argument. Personally, I don't think any statues of individuals should be present

 

[Toast]

Gandhi statue next?

Hope Ken Dodd in Lime street station is safe.

I’m part of the problem? Not you spouting Tommy Robinson-esque bile since these protests began about how “they’re racist to” and “white people have it just as hard” and “but but but grooming gangs” “nazis erased history just like them” just k’off mate, you’re speaking about a topic you clearly do not understand and clearly have not even tried to understand.
