Does anybody else think that Boris/Patel have played a blinder 1. We are talking about statues of Churchill and Baden-Powell and how BLM want to deface them 2. We are talking about War Memorials and how BLM want to deface them 3. We are talking about Labour's letter which implies that if you are Bl...

I absolutely hate the prospect of it and think it will just continue and intensify the swirl of mad populist politics that's consumed the UK as a whole since 2014 but I think it would unsustainable to continue to deny another one Just on this, to me the main reason for the rise of populism is the a...

Some statue of a black playwright in Bristol , has been defaced with bleach :? Doubt his plays were actually worthy of condemnation so is just a reaction to the colston destruction. Will the same happen to the madela bust on the south bank near Waterloo now ? This tit for tat stuff is bonkers, the ...

Why did Bristol have a statue of a slave trader anyway? Fucken weird man. He deserved the river, as do any confederate statues. In saying that, if they are going full statue pulling they need to be consistent. Start with that sexual deviant and hardcore racist Ghandi for one. It was built to remind...

The Uk has gone a bit crazy. Will we be expecting Downing street to be renamed because Sir George Downing was a bit naughty in his day? The door of number 10 could do with changing colour too.

Not sure it's desperation Doc Rob it's just you can't have endless referendums until you get the "right" result.

If this is your angle, why bother with medical intervention for the vulnerable at all since they are "going to die soon anyway". That's not really the point.

I don't think you necessarily achieve diversity through quotas and pressure groups. I think if you have an open minded society engaging with everyone it happens pretty naturally pretty quickly.

I agree there's no significant grudge between teams because people are Scotland rugby fans before they are club rugby fans. I also think they should make it cheaper and give free tickets to rugby clubs.

I'm interested to hear more about why you are not convinced that diversity is not something to be desired? I agree with Haggis in that diversity is a good, positive thing due to it offering new perspectives, languages, ideas and ways of thinking. That's my starting point. How the success of that is...

Statues are about celebration not history. Nelson's column isn't a history lesson, it's celebrating his achievements as an Admiral. Achievements which were helped by slaves in the British army and there is a black sailor on the column. . https://live.staticflickr.com/947/28065500028_0093fe1c2e_b.jp...

Slavery was good (For white people) but it isn't now - context. Why should there be a statue of a slave trader now? We all agree slavery was horrendous? Slavers therefore don't deserve to be celebrated with fancy statues? If we must contextualise the slavery was good for some and bad for others. Bl...
