Excellent suggestion Muddy, one up on a plastic gnome.

I didn't TELL anyone anything. I merely said I think that the Colston statue belongs in the bottom of the river. Big difference wouldn't you say ?

As far as UNDERSTANDING goes, all I need to know is that Colston made his fortune dealing in: buying, transporting and selling slaves. Moreover, thousands upon thousands of those slaves died in the Atlantic crossing. Anything else about Colston is totally irrelevant. Personally, I hope Colston is roasting in hell.

You all can make him a hero if you wish. Not I.

It's almost as if some sort of civil war is kicking off in America and for some bizarre reason is being transferred to our country, or at least an attempt is being made to do do so.

All it is doing is creating anti-black and anti-foreigner feeling BIG TIME.

As far as YOUR police doing what they so obviously HAVE to do even if a bit overenthusiastic in the process ----- NOT OUR PROBLEM.

What's more not even interested, well I'm certainly not and I sincerely doubt if I'm alone. It's a case of "Oh dear. Tut tut, how sad --- next?"

Bakerman no one is making him a hero .

I have to say I don’t pay much attention to the man on top .
The thousands of people in deficance of the corvid social distancing advice are now going to London today

Who pays for their travel to London ?
Travel is terribly expensive in the uk and you can’t drive a car into the city easily or cheaply ,
Why is our government allowing this ?
Public gatherings and sports meeting are banned .
Something is terribly wrong .
