The reason I am most annoyed about the UK statues being taken down is the fact that it allows all of the closet racists and right winged loons something to moan about rather than discuss the actual issue. It's a clear own goal in that respect.
I'm not fine-tuned, Bob, yer gonna have to gimme a few details!
At least we are hearing from a black person. Most of the statue wrecking crowd so far seem to be white people desperate to bolster their own liberal credentials. It seems to me that all black people want is the same life chances as everyone else and not to me murdered by policemen? I fear they are being sold the removal of statues as a cheap alternative.Can someone explain this to me as I am struggling. Ndjodi Ndeunyema appears to be one of the organisers involved in the removal of the Rhodes statue in Oxford appearing on TV and giving press statements. About the protest earlier this week he said 'We are here to shame the college that seeks to venerate and glorify someone who is not worthy of glorification or veneration'. He is clearly a very bright person having completed three Oxford masters degrees. However he is studying at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, that is to say he is happy to take money from the trust to enable him to be at Oxford. So it's ok to take the money from a trust set up by the very person you hate.

The BLUEMOON banner.
I'm not sure if he is serious.....
And the rest of his statement?He did actually really say that racism is the ONLY disease we are fighting, on that count he doesn't have a point, I can say he's wrong on that count and be confident that I am right. It wasn't a slip of the tongue he even said that what he is about to say may sound silly.
It didn't sound silly at all, it sounded pretty stupid, uncaring and showed no insight into the suffering this virus causes.

My bingo card is nearly complete. Just need the old 'multiculturalism doesn't work' and 'baa baa black sheep' for a full house.I see it’s Sterling’s fault again.
Good to see we can rely on old favourites no matter the situation.
The thing that should happen is that once the Rhodes statue goes, his money and beneficence go with it! It seems to be a case of detesting the man but making use of his ill-gotten gains. Yer don't need one master's degree, let alone three. to come up with an English word that encompasses that mentality.
Viv Anderson doesn't 'like' this
oh what a surprise.did they sing out his criminal record in-between hallelujahs?
Tony Blair was quite clear. A million lives lost in Iraq was "the right thing to do."Be annoyed if you like.
All lives do matter. You cant be selective over that.

no mate, you've got it wrong. @Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese is using irony, sarcasm and humour to show his support for the 'contrived pseudo contrived attention seeking bollocks' for the cause..Yeah. One guy shovels men, women and children to the bottom of the ocean in chains the other was passing a fake $20 bill.
Like moths to a flame you guys just can’t resist.
Why? Is the money conditional on genuflecting at the base of his statue every morning? Is it not possible to channel funds to a worthy cause without glorifying the man in question? Is there not a certain delicious irony in using the money to help those Rhodes would have despised? Or had killed depending on his ‘mood’.
Usually this clown is alone in his dinghy drifting around in the middle of an ocean somewhere. Hopefully he'll go back their soon.Fuck off.
