That photo makes it look like they stood in a line and had a collective wazz on the plinth.
Great work

It's a bit high up. It would have had to be a pissing contest.

It might get a bit spicy if these luckless dork-muppets actually show up.

sunderland have a reputation for shouting at statues, could see them easily confused if they head down

not exactly a user of tiktok, but from what the kids are showing me coming up, seems to be a stronghold of furious red faced patriots. I though it was just for kids?

I thought it was mostly for videos of middle-aged mums trying to do the latest dance craze videoed by their kids.

Maybe the racists have just been kicked off every other platform?

I'm shoe-horning this in here because it is tangentially relevant, and because I doing know where else to put it. and I don't want to start a new thread.


Tories are canvassing for opinion on their new immigration bill. They're sending this survey out to their supporters, but I think perhaps it might be useful if the wider community also got the chance to tick the boxes.

We’re delivering on our promise to the British People for a fairer immigration system.

It's a short survey, only three questions. No security check or conformation email.

How do I do that? Maybe I should just delete the picture?

I'm a tech idiot.

With so many racists claiming today to have cleaned up the Churchill plinth it's surprising that the graffiti is still so visible.

This will be their Lesser Free Trade Hall, only, you know, ruddier of cheek and much more racist

Normally I wouldn't mention it, but with Facebook + Tories + Survey it's probably a good idea, don't want them collecting networks of left-wing survey vandals.

I signed up for further shit too - pays to know what they're thinking ...

I imagine the most ludicrous and vindictive course of action possible and I’m not often far off.

I think for Churchill it deserves the extra effort
Every man, and all that

Do they still have statues of Stalin in Russia ?

I imagine cleaning off graffiti without damaging the underlying stone is an acquired art best left to professionals. Which they most certainly don't look like.

Does "blue collar" perhaps suggest they have practical skills ?
They certainly weren't dressed for it.

FFS, the local BBC news have just described yesterday's events as a lynching. Stupid stupid stupid.

Colston Hall finally gets its act in gear. Taking down its signage asap. (to avoid having it taken down for them )

Bristol's Colston Hall commits to name change by autumn 2020

Did it really need a consultation with 4,000 people to decide to change its bloody name?

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

A small contribution to the debate, it has got some conversations started however.

Share the youtube link on social media if you can

Will do, there's discussions happening in Edinburgh, as there's no crane drivers coming forward to topple statue of Henry Dundas.

The consultation was to decide what to change it to. It was supposed to have been changed by now after being closed for refurbishment, but there's been a pandemic going on.

TBF a lot of these places could easily change their names to something pandemic related, Memorial Hall maybe (in that case) or even pick one of the local dead at random and name the streets / buildings after them instead.

Fair enough. Three years, though. This has at least condensed their timeframe for removing the old name.
