    Yes, she's happy to wear Adidas branded clothing when the company is known for using contractors who employ slavish conditions on their poor Asian employees.

    It's a double standard that would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.

    "Most people have been supportive of the statue, but for a short time this afternoon a small amount of people arrived calling for the statue to be removed, saying it was an act of vandalism," he added.
    Fucking snowflakes.

    A sculpture of a Black Lives Matter protester, placed on the plinth where a slave trader's statue was toppled, will be removed, Bristol's mayor has said
    Mayor Marvin Rees said it was up to the people of Bristol to decide what would replace the Colston statue
    Mr Rees, the city's elected mayor, said removing the new statue was "critical to building a city that is home to those who are elated at the [Colston] statue being pulled down, those who sympathise with its removal... and those who feel that in its removal, they've lost a piece of the Bristol they know".

    He added the sculpture was the work and decision of a London-based artist, "was not requested and permission was not given for it to be installed".
    Is the mayor a snowflake in your opinion?

    Well, he's actually mixed race, his father [Jamaican] left his white mother when he was a child to bring him up on her own.

    Charlottesville to remove statue that sparked deadly white supremacy rally

    The removal of Hamilton's statue (NZ) is only the start, we should tear them all down-statue-centre-charlottesville-rally-removed-png

    A Confederate statue that became a rallying point for white supremacists and helped inspire their infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally will be hoisted off its pedestal this weekend and sent to storage.

    Key points:
    • The removal of the statues was held up by a lawsuit and a law that was amended in 2020
    • There have been 10 expressions of interest from organisations wanting to acquire the statues
    • A viewing area will be set up for people who want to see the removal


    The statue of General Robert E Lee and another Confederate tribute nearby were both scheduled to be removed on Saturday local time, four years after white supremacists and neo-Nazis organised protests against the removal.

    Imagine fighting to keep a statue of a defeated racist traitor that was erected 60 years after the event.
