.// s someone once said who's statue has received it's unfair share of vandalism. "You sow the Wind and you will reap the Whirlwind"// the divine finker retro
that wd be Churchill to you proles in case it is too subtle

A reference to Hosea 8:7: "they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind"

Churchill used to work themes from shakie and the bible into his prose - I thought everyone knew that. Often I find that people who own bibles - - - dont read them

This can only be described as vandalism under the excuse of BLM:-)

When one group of extremists get ascendancy it is almost inevitable that the other extreme rise up too. Especially if one lot seems to be getting encouragement from authorities.

[ummmm]

A fella on TV earlier said that no-one wants history to be re-written but the statues belong in a museum

[Spicerack]

Oh, a fella said it. That's different then. Pull em all down.

[Old_Geezer]

Not all statues belong in a museum, most belong in public places for the public to appreciate every day. One doesn't tend to create a statue in order to hide it away.

I didn't catch his name, Spice.

OG - Only the ones who have a dubious past...

My own opinion is if they are going to be removed then it should be because of the public opinion...Not by a group of vandals.
