https://ibb.co/nRG3KYw">



Cell phone footage of the incident has gone viral on social media, but many are now asking if the statue of Dr. King actually did anything wrong.

The guys off his nut and has done nothing in his time as Mayor but give people the raving  hump  

Still I wonder what this review (I thought he said he was skint and needed more funding from central government ?) will come up with .



 :brd:



So I see BLM are having another meet up in London at the weekend all gathering at Nelson Mandela statue in Parliament square .Should he stay or should he go ?   Robert Peels statue just yards away could be in danger (don't mention his fathers on the other side of the Thames ffs ) as is as ever Churchills .



Street names are in danger ,you went to bed living in Plantation road and woke up in St Floyd street .



I wonder If Khan has run this by the Assembly as he is supposed to or just made it up as he trys to jump on another bandwagon (don't answer that )



So we are going to need some new statues apparently along with some street names that reflect diversity . Away you go ,have fun and no pinching or biting .


is there a statue of nelson mandela's missus anywhere ? I think if so it could benefit from a neklace or two. just to even things up .
<t>In matters of taxation, Lord Clyde\'s summing up in the 1929 case Inland Revenue v Ayrshire Pullman Services is worth a glance.</t>

Well our mate Saddo has ramped it up a bit during the day and has now jumped the gun (no review apparently required ) with  his hit list .



 As Khan wants to remove all links to Slavery he should add every Mosque in London to the list . Mohamed bought ,sold ,captured and kept slaves .

I'm just pointing this out, not commenting on it as a policy.



It's funny how Boris had radically left wing policies, yet Khan's comparatively less radical ones attract extreme derision.



Then again, people like Boris who Peter Hitchens describes as the 'heir to Blair'* and Blair himself could get away with anything they liked, and be reelected in perpetuity.



I have no doubt that Boris and Blair could've been reelected many, many times if they stayed in their position.



Focusing on the character/superficial parts of a politician is a big mistake, and is what allowed them both to get away with so much.

Boris wanted to introduce an amnesty for illegal immigrants did you know that?

Spain implemented a similar policy, and even more illegal immigrants arrived. A self-defeating policy as borders are there for a reason.

Illegal immigrants should be properly removed from the country.



On topic, how can we allow a tiny minority of violent protesters (BBC and Boris view) to shape our policy for the future, when we have a democratic system. These things need to be put to a vote at either local or national level.

People's obsession with him is a bit sad tho, Boris wanted to introduce an amnesty for illegal immigrants did you know that?

But generally well behaved of course .






I doubt that, the people who are likely to turn up to protect it are not people to mess with.

I suspect if they try and knock Nelsons column down there will be a "major public order incident."

 I was a little surprised how easily the one came down at the weekend . A couple of tugs and away you go . I had more trouble knocking a few dolly's over when I worked with  a  dangerous structures call out gang  . I hope  London's statues are made of sterner stuff





Anyway in place of Churchill we could have Sake Dean Mohamed 1759-1851 Owner of London's first Indian restaurant . Top man gave all our for fathers the Bengali trots with the unusual spicy food on offer though curries as we know them today were some way off .

When Nelson's turn comes, will they pull his statue off the top of the column or pull the whole column over?

I suppose he'll be erecting some new statues:

Anna Soubry

Luciana Berger

Chuka Umunna

Heidi Allen

Jo Swinson

David Lammy
