By all means protest and say your piece about any subject. That is the right of every man woman and child in the United Kingdom These protesters who are causing damage and wrecking property need to be prosecuted. There is no excuse for it. NO excuseTrying to burn the Union Jack at the cenotaph is as abhorrent to me as the student who thought it was hilarious to urinate on a memorial a while ago Why are people not appalled by this behaviour. Any cause will do A lot of these idiots will have been the ones complaining (and rightly so) about others not social isolating Suddenly it’s ok to mix Please tell me I’m not the only one upset by all of this
I don't particularly have a problem with people wanting to remove a statue of a slave trader. It shouldn't have still been in place in this day and age.Puliing it down in an act of vandalism doesn't sit well but given the circumstances I think we can turn a blind eye. Personally I think the statue should be retrieved from the Dock and put in an exhibition about the slave trade in a Bristol museum.
I wonder what would have happened had one of those ropes got tangled round someone’s leg and the person had gone into the water with the statue.

Quote from: phil old leake on June 08, 2020, 11:49:49 pmExplain pleaseIt's just a flag Phil, people will wrap themselves in it and claim all sorts of things the real damage is being done by the clown/s running the country taking us out of the EU with all the fiscal damage and associated reduction on food standards, workers and human rights and a lowering lowering of living standards across the country (except of course for a bunch at the top) Due to this Scotland wants another vote to determine it's independence from England and I support its right to do that and the only thing standing in its way is the refusal of this government to allow a vote. I would much rather see a voluntary united kingdom but Scotland given the choice between England and the EU it would be mad to choose England with these selfish dishonest corrupt unprincipled bas**rds at the helm. Hope that clears it up Phil.
Absolutely The relevance of that comment beingI take it you have total disregard for all the serviceman that fought in IraqWhether it was right or wrong to go in there is nothing to do with showing disrespect for people that have served this countryIt is the same flag at the Falklands and everywhere else our troops enter
