He's missing Niamhs signature Irish thing of eyebrows on the cheeks, so I'm calling bs.

Eyebrows on the cheeks?

They all creep the hell out of me no matter who they are.



Do we really need a bronze Cilla Black creeping in an alleyway in Liverpool?

That’s a fair point to be fair ..

So Nigel Farage considers a slaver a symbol, how unsurprising.

I’d hold the organisers of these ‘pretests’ responsible for all the mayhem ..

It was always going to end badly if only sending the R rate soaring .... now we’ve got potential widespread rioting as a very real possibility.

Surely the organisers have to take some responsibility??

See the guy wielding that pole / bar .. the police should have small teams of 4 or 5 kitted out who could rush in and snatch those intent on seriously harming -same apples to those seen throwing bottles / flares and fireworks.

If they knew they’d get targeted and dragged away it would act as a deterrent

I do wonder if it would be better to leave the statues where they are, just ensure they're accompanied by the full history of the person depicted, including the controversies. You can't erase history unfortunately - but you can ensure that it's recorded accurately and without sentimentality or bias. Churchill was instrumental in defeating the Nazis. He was also a white supremacist and guilty of earlier war crimes. Those are the facts. I feel like one side doesn't like the former and one doesn't like the latter... But they're just historical facts.

I get why people are angry about the statues as they stand though. They very rarely include the bad, and paint people with some dark history as paragons.
