Statues

[Keith Tindell]

What really annoys me , is that when the statue is removed and put in a museum, it signifies that the thugs have won. If the punishment was severe, and i mean severe, maybe we, the decent people would start to win. The idiot urinating on the memorial to a murdered policeman was given 14 days jail, no where near enough in my opinion, kt

#64.. Keith he should of had the offending weapon removed . Would also assist in the population growth by not having more morons like him walking the face of the earth. Some religions have a hand removed for stealing what’s the difference. ? JS

14days in gaol is not a punishment,
it is a holiday.
Three free meals a day, No bills to pay, his laundry is done Free,
He can get Free Glasses while in there, he can get Free dentistry,
He can work out in the Gymn.
Play pool all day,

Why not just give him 12 Lashes in public then send him home.
"A taste of the Lash never hurt anyone."

History is not there for you to like or dislike.
It is there for you to learn from it and if it
offends you even better, because you may
be less likely to repeat it. It is not yours to
erase. It belongs to all of us!

I posted this on another post, but it should have gone here. A Statue of Capt Cook was spray painted, they caught the culprit, she was the staffer of a Greens MP, she was Chinese !! what the hell would a Chinese person have to do with Capt Cook? The Greens MP refused to sack her, I wonder how she will get on with the other people in Parliament. She should have been made to pay a big fine and pay for the clean up, which no doubt her Green MP would take from the taxpayer as expenses.

It is now reaching an exclamation point.
There is now a push, by I might add only about 1% of the population to change the name of Victoria as they consider her to be bad!!!!!

There is a call for 'Coco Pops'; and 'Rice Bubbles' to be banned.
The biggest laugh at this one is the MP who is demanding this comes from UK and has only been out here a few years.

Coco Pops has a Monkey on the front and Rice Bubbles thee white kids.

With moronic person such as this supposedly guiding the nation and t estates there is little wonder the majority of the people have had enough.

To those who do not like our system of governance where in theory the majority rules then maybe they should go to a country where their misguided concepts would fit in, if there is such a country??

Hi did nothing wrong Graham, it's the perception of some agenda driven twisted minds.

[QUOTE=j.sabourn;348976. I think even those in the US White House should put a guard on Churchill’s bust, nothing is sacred these days, JS....[/QUOTE]

Obama had it removed, Trump had it re-instated, so Trump gets my vote!

[Keith at Tregenna]

Apparently, there are two Churchill busts – the one on loan to Bush from 2001 to 2009, and a second bust which the White House has had since the 1960s and still has to this day.

The bust in question, by British sculptor Jacob Epstein, was given to President George W Bush by the British government in 2001 and was placed in the Oval Office. But the statue was not donated, it was simply on loan for Bush’s term in office (a loan which the British government decided to extend when Bush was re-elected in 2004). Churchill disappeared from the White House in 2009, when the loan ended at the same time that Obama moved in.
