Colston Vandals Cleared

[fender62]

the judge just greenlighted it's ok to vandalise, if you don't like a statue or painting just knock it down or rip it up, history is there to be trodden on if it offends you...

//how have these morons managed to get a mention with the suffragettes?//

Maybe it's a new variation of Godwin's Law?

pixie - // It's your own view that they are playing for the cameras. //

Itj is, but given their behaviour on the day, and the circus of their appearence after their aquittal, it's not hard to see why.

// I still think (and look at some threads posted just today), that racism is actually still a real problem. //

I hope no reasonable person would argue with that pix.

Ask again in 30 years. No doubt, they had equally bad response.

Andy, maybe, but not my first view x

I don't think you'll see any BLM supporters in the US poncing about in Banksy tee-shirts braying like Hooray Henrys, but as always, we can agree to differ.

Andy, you and Naomi really suit each other. How many years have you been enjoying your relationship? It reminds me of those two lovely characters in Cheers; you know, the feisty Italian lady in the bar and the character who had the restaurant upstairs.

[ynnafymmi]

Atheist,where are you?Ive been waiting down in Highgate Cemetery for the past two hours.

ynnafymmi; you know you are being silly. It might be fun being rude or teasing to me, but it gets nobody anywhere. I don't like or respect Karl Marx, any more than I like or respect you. No chance of me turning up on a midnight tryst with either of you. :-)

[pixie374]

Could ask you the same, roy?

[Atheist]

ynnafymmi: You do take against people, don't you?
Ever since you called me Steptoe when I first spoke to you, I realised that you are a real judge of character. Best wishes, hen. :-)

ynnafymmi, you were on your way down to Highgate Cemetery at 17:05 so unless you're also the new Doctor with access to the TARDIS, I doubt you've been there for two hour.

[ynnafymmi]

Tee-hee.I am a naughty ABer arent i.I just dont like fascists,Atheist,either the right wing kind or the left wing kind.I just thought your avatar looked a bit like that old anti-semitic terrorist apologist,Corbyn.Tee-hee.

[Atheist]

ynnafymmi; Please don't try to flirt with me, young woman. :-)

[ynnafymmi]

Im a true Scot,THECORBYLOON.Us true Scots can do anything.How about you my English friend?

[pixie374]

Oi!

The verdict was a disappointment for some because of their presumed guilt.
The Jury who heard the case didn’t agree.
Posters are still calling the BLM protestors even though they were acquitted.

The people who decide what matters in Bristol.
