A Black Lives Matter protester, Jen Reid, says she 'shed a tear' when she saw a sculpture of her replace that of the slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol on Wednesday.
Can’t wait to see it torn down
That won't last long
Mob rule! Take the fucking thing down!
True artist work with a community and approval process. Doing sneaky, behind closed doors methods is no better than vigilante graffiti people mark up signs, walls, buildings.
Fly tipping is illegal so dumping rubbish in the middle of the city in the early hours of the morning is now praised in the media.
LOVE THIS!!!
All this for an American black criminal
Saw the exact same thing happen to the Statue of Liberty in a film once🤔 It'll be a good year for Dulux I reckon.
Hope it's temporary because BLM doesn't deserve a statue. Put up a statue commemorating the victims of slavery or something that is worthy of recognizant of the past.
Disgusting, rip it down
The gov't have played this well. Get people angry/distracted about something that isn't important (eg. statues) so that they arn't doing any real damage to something important
You support this
An exchange of one form of racism for another. Good luck with that.
She is stood in a Adidas top! Erm does that matter?
Well ASPolice will probably dismiss this as a non crime or of little importance, when in fact it remains a very public display of vandalism which remains a Criminal Damage crime act.
Their kids will tear it down (if they have any). The left always eats itself
Disgrace......will cause more resentment and dismay......rewarding rioters
Gammons are gonna lose their shit over this.
And we just pull it down ourselves if we don’t like it, right?
If its been put up without the council's permission then it should be removed, no matter how much people roll on the floor in agony.
Pity the statue looks like the comedy cliche 'rebel' Wolfie Smith from Citizen Smith with a black beret like Che Guevera and fist in the air.
*Sculpture of someone doing a communist salute
Got all the future of a snowman that statue 😆
Cock womble
And cue melting racists.
America must be the centre of the slave revolt. It's legitimate but it's also valuable PR. That is American. Even though the slave revolt goes back to the neolithic revolution, America is the present museum and the statues and statutes must follow.
Just here to drink the salty Patriotic Action tears.
Making the history of slavery and of the fight for freedom visible. The precise opposite of the erasure of history embodied in the Colston statue, in fact. I love it.
The Black Lives Matter narrative, which claims exclusion and discrimination, replace Edward Colston's statue with a black woman expressing herself with the 'Black Power' salute. How ironic that they did so without any consultation through a democratic process.
Don’t mind me, I’m just here for the comments...
Might have been more appropriate to have been done by a BAME artist.
gammons assemble
