Asked if the statue should be removed, he said:"No, it should not be. I'm here, I will fight for him." Sharon Warne suggested controversial statues should have information panels about the figures they depict.

The world has gone mad. Just stop all this nonsense.

Literally worse than Hitler, I’m literally shaking with rage. I’m so upset I’m literally crying with confusion. I really need help I’m literally depressed with indignation.

Prime gammon.

Damn right good on them

Don’t worry I’m sure doing this is going to help the economy and save people’s lives? Get a grip and act like you care about the country and the NHS!

Excuse me whilst I just uncurl all my toes 😬😬😬cringingell

Ahaha, old man will get he’s hips broke 🤣

People must have better things to be doing rather than protecting or pulling down statue. No wonder why the country is such a state
