Mark Beatle is 80? Happy birthday!

🤮🤦🏻‍♀️ Sorry, John, you deserved a better fate...

Had to look twice. Thought it was Justin Trudeau with glasses at first.

And have it promptly felled by BLM and antifa thugs?

Not for toppling statues, but happy to take this monstrosity down if anyone's interested.

A statue of someone who abused and beat women isn’t quite the person we need to idolize. Have any of you thought it is a good idea to maybe make statues of women, people of color, and indigenous people? We have enough statues of white men.

Anyway. It's not the right Lennon. Never ever seen him like that. And the statue lacks his poetry, his dreaming genius, his qualities beyond to be a beloved statue. The artist is a second hands carsaleswoman.

Hmmm a wife beater who was an IRA sympathiser, im sure someone else better could be found

He would hate that.

Anti-Yono Okos will just tear it down.

What a waste of time not everybody likes The Beatles and John Lennon. Maybe he should be just left in the past

Why?

I thought it was Justin Trudeau. 😕

Thats a terrible statue

Pass.

take it down! ahahahahhaha

Let’s tear it down too

He was white and English.... Aren't we supposed to be ashamed of those two things now?

Don’t feminists hate Lennon? Something about is violent tendencies.

Well don't leave him in one place to be vandalized

John Lennon, Yoko Ono - Sometime In New York City, track 1. wow, what a great guy.

Creepy John statue. 👀

Not a good time for statues right now. You know some insane lefty’s going to give him a good kicking.

What's this obsession with putting up new statues of supposedly better people (he wasn't) How about we stop making pointless stone things and use the money for more worthwhile causes? He already has an airport anyway

It represents white successes. Tear it down

Jesus...haven’t we had enough statue trauma lately?...

How about we just stop making these.....don't see what they have to offer.....his music is enough for people to remember him by.

Wasn’t he the guy that left Cynthia and son practically penniless? And Yoko offered no help? Why do we idolize him. He was a shithead.

The Beatles are not 80.

Interesting reading no doubt cancel culture sheep wont debate this

Liverpool has a history of racism and slavery. John Lennon was from Liverpool. Therefore this statue is racist and needs to be removed.

no thank you.

To knock them down ?

Not as good as the Ronald one

Finally! A protest where reasonable and rational people who love good music have statues they can tear down and burn.

Wasn't Lennon like... Super abusive or something?

Don’t take the bait. gonefishin

Hahaha. Lennon would laugh about that

Pendrive_Baba padeko la! 🤣🤣

Wife beater and shit dad. No hero

So, are people going to throw paint on it and maybe knock it over John Lennon was no great shakes as a person either.

Let's hope he didn't have any connections to the slave trade.

Is that one of the women he have beaten?
