I haven't Pix, but then Mr B isn't a Royalist

[Bobbisox1]

we have what you call 'friendly arguments' I tell him he took the Queens shilling in the RAF and had to swear allegiance to her, he tells me he went in to get a trade, haha

Lol. Exactly- democracy about what you put up... I've often asked people who live with me about pictures for a certain room to get a general yes or no. I had no idea I should have run it past ABers first, to make sure our reasoning was acceptable and PC enough... you live and learn :-)

[Bobbisox1]

I really do see the funny side of what they have done, knowing they could never change what's happened, they can deface monuments, they can pull them down and March till they are blue in the face, it's never going to change history is it?

[pastafreak]

What has taking a print off the wall in a private space have to do with defacing monuments?

[Bobbisox1]

errr student mentality Pasta, not all of course

[Bobbisox1]

sorry maybe that should be 'mindset'

[pixie374]

Not at all, bobbi. We can only change who we admire.

[Bobbisox1]

anyway, too nice to be banging away on a keyboard, off out with friends, have a nice day :0)

[pixie374]

Have a nice time :-)

Maybe we should all just think back to what we were like as 18-20 somethings.
When I was that age, I sometimes wished I was able or had more courage to express my beliefs. But I was a quiet suburban youngster. ;)
Some may continue that way, others will look back and wonder what they were thinking at the time. It's life.

In my school, we had a poster of The Stones up in our sixth-form common room.
We were "made" to take it down.

How things have changed ;o)

oh I have a big surprise for you sqad - hur hur hur

[burlyshirley]

But it isn't just an old outdated picture they want taking down per se, apparently it's because she represents 'recent colonial history' whatever the hell that means !!

[ToraToraTora]

tell them that I'll look after all those little pictures of the queen that they have in their pockets. PMSL!

[naomi24]

Shirley, well done. You’re one of the very few who have actually thought about this and remembered it’s following the fashionable woke trend.

[pixie374]

Yes, leave it up. Virtue signalling is "sooo" much more important than principles.

[naomi24]

It certainly seems that way for today’s students.

[pixie374]

It certainly seems that way for today's ABers...

[naomi24]

Indeed. Well, those who support this PC nonsense at least.
