The toppling of Edward Colston's statue is not an attack on history. It is history | David Olusoga

The slave trader’s figure loomed over Bristol for 125 years. Now a multiracial protest has achieved what past campaigns couldn’t, says historian and broadcaster David Olusoga

Are you and your cockney chums not going to protect us from the sickening criminal damage to British memorials?

During a pandemic, when did I say I'm even stepping outside my front door?

The London boys then, will they save us, while you cower in your stairwell?

Sorry Sir, I'm not interested in getting involved in your childish ways.

Dunno what you're trying to prove here but please tell me (in an adult way.)

That is fine. I just hope the other londoners have a little more spirit.

I had no time for your "Childish" talk than you.

Well on the contrary I have plenty of time for understanding other points of view, that is because I am quite open minded.

Explain in a little more detail what these londoners are going to do when this non-descript "they" try to "damage british memorials".

Cheers.

I can't tell you what they are going to do because I don't know, all I know is people have said that they are going to try and stop it possibly happening?

Edit; Look what happens when you stop writing like a 13 year old. You get an answer.
Nearly 2am, so I'm off to bed.

Well I hope they all sit down together, have a few pints and a little plate of sausage rolls and work towards a discursive methodology that results in an equitable conclusion. Seriously cannot be arsed with more violence.

Oh dear, that edit was a shame. Best of luck.

As an outsider looking in i do think there could be better ways to show your support for the BLM protest. As the protest goes against social distancing with many business forced to follow the rules and going out of business because of them. I am not saying the protest is wrong as there are certainly racial issues that need to be addressed all over the world.

i do feel there are to many opportunists who are taking to the streets angry at other issues and using it as an excuses to kick off and cause trouble and take items they want in the form of looting in the usa.

we live in a world with technology that allows you to communicate in so many ways, maybe there is another way to show support or anger without marching down the street in a pandemic.

I can't believe this guy decided to start this thread. Has he called for troops in the streets yet?

He has the whole online persona of the guy who mean mugs you and says something under his breath and when you ask what? He goes "I don't like how you're walking".

What does this even mean?

Sterling said: "The coaching staff that you see around football clubs: there's Steven Gerrard, your Frank Lampards, your Sol Campbells and your Ashley Coles. All had great careers, all played for England.

"At the same time, they've all respectfully done their coaching badges to coach at the highest level and the two that haven't been given the right opportunities are the two black former players.

Is Sterling right?

Hes got a problem with every protest. He wants the military in the streets in my city and state.

People are mostly just protesting and walking the streets. He doesn't like how they're walking.

You know what he saw? He talked to some friends who wanted military in the streets, then it was well I've been watching live streams and I think the military should be there. Then when that gets called out, it's well tucker carlson said we should have military in the streets and he broadcasts from NY.

Then he has the nerve to bring up Latasha Harlins, but never give context.

He lives tens of thousands of miles away but he knows better than you.
