And from the Statue Front:
Inhabitants of the capital of Greenland,Nuuk, are having a vote on whether to remove a statue of the priest, Hans Egede or not.
Civilized natives there
Some could learn from them
I'm going to start a campaign about the brutality the Brits suffered under the Vikings..
Start by renaming Grimsby
Even I thinks, that it's over the top
Ye, those bloody Danes, should be on the radar as well.
Grimbsy needs nuked anyway.
I wonder if this Jen Reid is going to establish a series of orphanages and womens refuge centres using her own money, like Edward Colston did? If so, the statue can stand as far as I'm concerned.
Well that's remarkably generous of you Boomer. Thanks for allowing that.Originally Posted by sabang
But if you were going to be consistent then you should be defending it as 'history' irrespective of what was or wasn't done... Unless of course it was never actually about 'history' to begin with.
A wax statue? Not yet.
Kinda guy I am.that's remarkably generous

True. There is literally no other way that future generations can learn about any of this, or anything at all, unless it's allowed to remain.Originally Posted by panama hat
Those who don't learn... etc. etc.
^ FACT!
(It seems we have joined the right-wing, fascist, racist entitled, white-privileged fruitcakes. Did I throw in enough mirror-libby smack-words to satisfy?)

Boom! Knowledge bombed.
The Jen Reid 'statue' was removed a couple of hours ago.
I guess the 'stay of execution' communique from Australia came too late.
^rightfully so. It was erected illegally.
