Stop the world I want to get off, the loony left and PC brigade have finally won, trying to wipe history from the world, it’s quite frankly pathetic, the statues etc have been there for years no one gives a shit, the thick twats wouldn’t even exist if it wasn’t for Churchill. TV shows been taken down, I thought we lived in a free country, if I want to watch something then let me, if you don’t like it don’t bloody watch it. Erasing history doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, trying to apologise for something that happened 100s of years ago is ridiculous. Maybe concentrate your efforts on slavery that’s happening now in our cities, using our resources and efforts to stop the exploited in our country now.

I think calling for the abolition of the BBC is to advocate for a policy of cultural and national vandalism far worse than advocating for the removal of some statues. And for what? Binning a comedy episode over racist language?

Generally speaking people seem far more offended by this than monuments to murder.

You’re making it out as I’ve I’m out protesting for it or making a set of demands.

I think it’s politically compromised and it’s Sport department are Rag sycophants, I’m also against the mandatory license fee out of principle.

It’s my view that it should go, I’m not asking for it.

That statue is ruined.

You can still see the graffiti the vandals painted on it even after a professional clean up.

Any sympathy for the cause that I have is being eroded by vandalism and murder of shop owners protecting their livelihoods.

You can still see the words 'Blacks out' that was painted on the flats around the corner from me last year, even though the council took 3 weeks to try and clean it off.

Excuse me have you ever seen the monocled mutineer on telly since it's first broadcast?

It was critically aclaimed and praised yet a backlash from tory mlMPs and right wing press had it mothballed and it has not seen the light of day again.

Also stop catagorising who is tearing down statues, I am left and far to it but I don't want churchills, nelson, gandhis statues removed or destroyed for the sake of it and I don't know any left wingers that do in my social circle.
I would like proper debate around what we imortalise and honour, but randomly tearing down statues nah.


Unless it is cromwells, that **** can fuck off ;-)


Lastly no one is erasing history, it will still exist and be available to all.

Sorry mate but The Monocled Mutineer was shown a couple of years ago on Forces TV (Freeview Ch.96) . I had forgotten that it had Penelope Wilton,Cheri Lungi and Jerome Flynn in it,although I did remember that Percy Topliss was acted by Paul McGann .

Of course it was, any excuse for violence and they turn up, just like they will be involved on Saturday. They're fucking shitbags portraying themselves as the good guys, yet being the biggest fascits of them all.

They? Link please.
Only people threatening violence on saturday are proper organised groups like fla, edl, bf or some other racist twats.

Erasing history is what Hitler wanted to do to the Poles.

It’s extremist.

It’s pathetic!

Everyone take a look at their car outside: is it a Ford or a VW? Well Henry Ford was a Nazi contributer, VW made the Beetle for the Nazi state and then their war vehicles in WW2... Now have a look in your wardrobe: got anything by Hugo Boss? Well he was a Nazi and he designed+made the Nazi uniforms... Have a look in your DVD collection; got any Disney films? Well Walt Disney was a Nazi sympathiser and went to Nazi Party rallies...

If we actually looked hard enough we’d find something wrong with everything we have.

Let’s get rid of everything!

Anyone of these people who want all these statues taken down got a phone or any clothing made by an 8 year old girl working 18 hours a day for a bit of food and no pay in a sweat shop in Asia? I’ll bet they fucking have and I bet they don’t give a fucking shit!

Fanta Orange was made in Nazi Germany as they ran out of ingredients to make Coca Cola, as the American company withdrew from Germany during the war.

They had to come up with something else to satisfy the populations love of fizzy drinks so they came up with Fanta.

What was the turning point in the war, the americans entering it? He was a great leader that galavanised a nation to take no shit against overwhelming odds, if it wasnt for him we would have probably sued for peace then Hitler wouldve invaded us later, you know like he did with Russia.

The Americans lending us shit loads of money, guns and people had quite a dramatic effect.

As long as Tango isn't Nazi I'll sleep better. Did Nazi's actually make it though? Like Tory Britain made Banksy art or sumfink.
I'm not suggesting you were saying this by the way and it's a story I'd never heard...and can't wait to mention next time I see someone drinking Fanta!

Was it, fair enough I stand corrected but tbf harldy on a main channel or on any streaming services which is my point, you won't find it reshown, little britain will still end up on telly at some point on some channel.

The times I have seen forces tv it has the A-team on it, though it did have V on it which I unfortunately missed.

So looking into it further the German arm of Coca Cola made it for the Nazis as the US’s trade embargo made it impossible for Coca Cola to get ingredients out to their German colleagues.
 
Has Diane Abbott condemned the attack on the police the other day in her constituency yet?
Therein lies the problem in politics at the moment
Certain mps will only criticise certain people and not say a word about others
It’s not hard to say
I don’t like racists and I don’t like people who attack the police
I also don’t like racist police officers
