I don’t see the point of removing statues, I am sorry that it happened but you can’t rewrite history

@Ian123 oh but some do
You can’t rewrite it but they’ll just make the same stupid mistakes again. It’s what they’re good at. 😉@Ian123
@Ian123 Dude. More than half of those statues were put up during your lifetime.
@Ian123 as a response to the civil rights movement

@revenant I don’t see how, the only way to change history is to get a time machine which will be very very dangerous. 🤨☹️

@Ian123 look at China and North Korea got rid of their history

@JAYS21 We have two in our city, one to Queen Victoria in the Guildhall Square and one to Lord Nelson on the sea front 🇬🇧

@MalcolmY Maybe so, but there must be better and more effective ways of changing the system
@Ian123 Step one is to stop honoring the men who would see people like me in chains.
Ian123 · 61-69, M
@MalcolmY Yes I agree. You do have a point but removing statues will not change anything
@Ian123 I promise you it will.

@Ian123 you do not think it will lead to book burning next ?
Ian123 · 61-69, M
@MalcolmY I hope it does 👍
revenant · F
@Ian123 you support book burning ?
Ian123 · 61-69, M
@revenant I doubt it, not in the UK anyway. I can’t speak for other places
revenant · F
@Ian123 what makes you so sure ? I mean this whole movement is about history erasing is it not /
Ian123 · 61-69, M
@revenant Where did I say I supported book burning? I just said that burning books is unlikely in the UK

@Ian123 but if you want to get rid of history made by evil white men
Ian123 · 61-69, M
@revenant I’m not sure, I just said it was unlikely not impossible
revenant · F
@Ian123 did you read history ?

@revenant This is the last time I’m answering. Firstly I don’t know why you’re moaning at me it’s not my fault, secondly Britain is not China and Korea, thirdly I did read history thank you
revenant · F
@Ian123 fine with me
