They want the statue of Cecil Rhodes removing from Oxford's Oriel College. They don't seem to mind going to a university financed and built from the proceeds of slavery nor the taking advantage of the bursaries.

The usual Labour big mouth politician was there to address the crowd, no doubt trying to garner votes.
Extraordinary the leader of one of these rioters is a Rhodes Scholar - his education being partly financed by the Cecil Rhodes trust .

It's got nothing to do with the history of the statues Muddy, it's more a slap in the face of the establishment.

Re: Statues

All this irrelevant BLM thing being used as an excuse for a Marxist attack supported by the inevitable Useless Idiots is going to backfire BIG time against the blicks et SIM over here.

I just hope the police and security forces are taking note of the videos containing the antagonists and dealing with them when they are alone...

Re: Statues

There needs to be a new and open communication take place with the demonstrators.

Sjamboks are incredibly successful in achieving this.
