And Scouts, dressed in their full uniforms, today saluted in front of the figure of Sir Baden-Powell in Dorset as supporters formed a human shield around the statue.

And he said the memorial was particularly "vulnerable" as it was easily accessible and had parts that could be broken off. "Although we cannot say when any temporary removal may take place, we will be providing 24-hour security until it is either removed or the threat diminishes. He added: "Are we going to follow the example of the Met and Bristol and let the mob rule the streets?"Photo from 1932 of chief scout and founder of the scout movement, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, riding through a 'Red Indian' camp at Crystal Palace.Credit: Bournemouth NewsBut Dorset Police spokeswoman said: "The decision on whether to remove the statue was not one for the police and no advice was given to remove it.

I can't believe that British heritage and history is slowly but surely being destroyd by idiots in councils voted by the British people. I hope that Britain's stand up proud, and know who to vote for when the time comes to stop this madness. They're ruining a once proud nation.

Weird thing is that this mob isn't calling for mosques to be removed, even though Mohammad owned, captured and passed on slaves

Ironically Robert Baden-Powell’s views were quite moderate for middle class male late 19th/early 20th Century...

Why remove the statue of a man who founded a hospital

We’re so hell bound on finding intelligent life on other planets 🪐 and yet we still haven’t found any on our own planet 🌎

You have to lift an eyebrow when you see middle age men in shorts🤣

Black Lives Matter: Winston Churchill statue and Cenotaph boarded up ahead of protestsGuy's and St Thomas' hospitals in London have said they will remove two statues linked to slavery in response to anti-racism protests across the UK Professor Clementi reveals how coronavirus today is a hundred times weaker than March. Massimo Clementi is a full Professor of Microbiology and Virology, University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy. It's an absolutely macroscopic difference. This has nothing to do with slavery, it's an attack on your history. Western civilisation ENDED SLAVERY, while everyone in the World practiced it. During the Barbary slave trade MORE white people have been taken as slaves as all the blacks taken from Africa! Let that sink in! Wrong hiding our past is not the way forward! The country needs to get a sodden grip!
