The DFLA (Football Lads Alliance (now with apparent added democracy) are going to be protecting statues this weekend, from the evil destroyers of old colonial white men's statues.
So I am curious, what will members of the board protect?
A question for the FLA (sorry DFLA) guys on here - can I protect the Mandela statue in Parliament square?

Where will it all end? Changing the name of Waterloo station because it glorifies war, and might offend our French cousins. Banning people from South Stand if they refer to it as Churchmans.
Never forget the Barbary slave trade and raids on South West England when locals were rounded up and taken as slaves and sold in Africa.
A 'where will it end' argument is a concession that there is no good reason to oppose 'this' action, because the only reason to oppose it is by asserting that all sorts of unimaginable and absurd future events will inevitably follow.
e.g:
'Eating a pizza, are you. Nonsense! Where will it all end? I suppose next we'll all be forced to speak Italian, drive scooters and wear £300 on sunglasses will we?'

Why take them down? Do people look at these statues and think "Ah, Slavery. Hadn't thought of that, let's give it a go!"
Or do people largely ignore them whilst a few who are interested in history learn about the background of these people. They're generally people of historical importance, and having a statue of them doesn't mean you have to celebrate certain aspects of their lives.

on the one hand, our history is what it is, good and bad, and trying to hide it away and rewrite it is idiotic. on the other, what we choose to celebrate in important public places is something we ought to agree on as community - and some things / people don't really deserve to be celebrated.
some of them should go in parks with good clear information boards explaining who they were, what they did that was good / bad and what time they lived in. education rather than celebration.
And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Well quite. This isn't about people that once said a bad thing about black people, it is people that carried out horrific acts.
Yet the BLM are now going after the Lord Baden Powell statue, the man has done more than most to enrich the lives of young people.
The 'RADS' cannot get their dogmatic year zero ideology using the democratic process, so latch onto the brutal killing of a man in the USA to pursue control of history.

"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."

STFU. Have the TWTD cultural revolutionaries not read 1984?
You really are firing a flare gun over your stupidity.
Whatever you've been reading or watching I suggest you curb it a bit. It's made you a very strange individual! In fact, I think the Home Office should probably be keeping tabs on your progress...
Dib dib, dob dob.
Have a nice day.

Anyone getting exercised by wanting to protect dubious statues should be put on a watch list. They've clearly been radicalized.

Gazza, I've booked a minibus to take the lads down to Poole to defend Robbo's statue. I'll pick u up at sixish. Bring a union jack, a pork pie and your best Hackett jumper. If this one is going in the sea, they're going to have to throw our dead bodies in on top of it.

Good point - compromise is what is needed. Mob rule is just fuelling more hatred.

Hi there Gaz, was just wondering who do you think at this moment controls the history that the rads are trying to control?
