Statues

I think this statue should be removed, it's a right pain in the ass...

Guy just likes three scoops on his ice cream cone, not sure what sauce he likes....

I doubt the Italians will remove Julias Caesars statue, nor the Mongols Genghis Khan's statue history cannot be re written no matter how many statues are pulled down. Are art galleries going to come under siege and art removed of famous/infamous people? History books changed?
Stalin is still revered in Russia, with an ex socialist security guard and also one of the world richest men in charge, I don't think nothing much will change over there.

So Foxy you support right wing pissed up thugs who attack the police and piss on a statue of a murdered policeman. Shame on you.

I've no time for the right-wing football hooligan pisshead BUT I've even less time for witch hunts. From the pictures published in all the papers, there's no way he's peeing on the statue, he's using the statue as a shield from the wind or to obviate a charge of indecent exposure, whatever!
Affront to public decency, yes, desecrating a statue to a dead cop- no way. He'd have been urinating over the placard fixed to the front if he wanted to do that. Let him rot in jail for a fortnight anyway if he was too inebriated to remember what he was doing.

So he drank 16 pints from Friday night and Saturday morning without sleeping then went to an area where all public toilets are shut. What could go wrong.

Did you see the picture of the black guy carrying one of these thugs to rescue him. Bets that's embarrassing for Britain First.

Ozzy Osbourne got inebriated and urinated on the Alamo. It cost him a £10k donation to the charity that maintains its upkeep to get him out of jail.

Quite so. He urinated on it, not at the side and behind it.

Actually the walls are more sacred than the cenotaph he pissed on.

I wouldn't use the news papers phrase, I'm sure even they don't know how he votes.Thug yes, I don't condone any act of desecration.
Nor the beheading of Margaret Thatcher's statue by a delusional left winger who seems to think he was protecting his son against global capitalism.
Has changed anything taking political frustration out on a statue, history won't change neither will the future.
I believe the perpetrator was sentenced to read 'The problems with Socialism' by Thomas J Di Lorenzo and has now recovered from his illness.
