Made by a man who gleefully wrote about what he did to his own daughters You didnt answer my question But i'll answer yours..... I dont know the history of the statue or the person who created it But the option of researching the subject and then making an informed decision has now been taken away from me by an idiot with a hammer and chisel Who gives him the right to destroy the statue? Its not his property If i live next door to you and i dont like your new patio extension does that give me the right to climb over your fence and pull it down?........No it does not The catholic church is responsible for some unspeakable crimes...does that give me the right to burn down Sheffield cathedral?..........No it does not We cant just allow anyone to destroy history on a whim.....we'd have nothing left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made by a man who gleefully wrote about what he did to his own daughters Not happy of course. Also not happy that Joe Bloggs can come along and do criminal damage on a statue and get away with it. There really (urgently, considering recent events) needs to be a proper legal process, whereby we democratically decide if to remove statues (or other works) that some consider offensive. I’m not sure exactly how that would work, but there needs to be some legal route for this. A climate where anyone can come along and destroy anything they consider offensive, and get away with breaking the law, is not a good place to be.

The pulling down of statues goes back thousands of years and has always been a weapon or a sign for regime change As ive said in previous comments i believe the recent events in places like Bristol to be politically motivated We have to put a stop to it now or it will just get out of control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
