One for the clown world thread. I’m going to pull down Sir Stans statue and claim as a full back I was offended by his trickery.

I find that very surprising. The defence seemed to rest on an appeal to emotion ("be on the right side of history") rather than actual law. This is surely legal carte blanche to go and vandalise anything connected with Colston's name isn't it? Dozens of buildings, schools, streets, pubs....

Common sense prevails...... how’s that then it’s just encouraging people to smash things up if they don’t agree with something. Letting them off could set a very worrying precedent. Playing devils advocate If someone was to deface a statue that was representing marxism because they had politically right views would that be OK? That attitudes how rioting starts. The laws the law and they broke it.

I’ve thought about it, as Stan was a right winger I’m going to let him off. Now then, where can I find a statue of Steve Guppy?

Probably for the best. If you're male and called 'Sage' you'd just get used as a loofah in prison

Are you on a monumental windup I don’t think the perpetrators of this act were caught, had they been, I would apply the same logic. Where as the vandals involved in the Colston debacle were filmed and charged. Then let off for some bizarre reason.

If the culprits had been caught and tried and admitting to causing the damage, what do you think the verdict would have been? Just to complete the analogy.

Did you hear the four interviewed after the verdict? What a bunch of classic white, woke planks. The one lad could barely string a sentance together without swearing. If anyone has the clip, it's worth posting just to illustrate the type of ignorant turds who ripped down the Colston statue. A similar type to those who vandalised the Abraham Lincoln statue.
I'd be amazed if any of them had any real understanding of African history, Caribbean history or indeed, British history.

Slightly different situation. A bunch of people tearing down a statue of a present day individual who had persecuted them, murdered many of their friends and family and inflicted years of oppression on THEIR life is different to a bunch of posh white, privileged kids who have no real understanding of what they are professing to defend, no understanding of history and a complete inability to contextualise figures from over 300 years ago. I'm pretty sure if you went through most senior figures around the world from the 1700s you'd unearth some horrors. To compare the two is absurd. Was there a debate to be had over the statue? Maybe.
