Possibly not; a historian who specialises in slavery found no evidence in it being named after James Penny and instead believes it’s named after a nearby hill. |  |

Neither was the graffiti on his statue, although in all honesty he was a bit too keen on hitler for my liking. |  | |  |

Does 'being a bit too keen on hitler' cover these words in the second of his two letters to the German leader? 'Such are your humiliation of Czechoslovakia, the rape of Poland and the swallowing of Denmark. I am aware that your view of life regards such spoliations as virtuous acts. But we have been taught from childhood to regard them as acts degrading humanity...' And whilst he addressed hitler as 'dear friend', that should be seen in the context of his statement that Dear friend, that I address you as a friend is no formality. I own no foes.' https://www.indiatoday.in/news-analysis/story/when-mahatma-gandhi-chided-hitler- |  |

Where would you park your crane? You'd surely have more luck getting some leverage under Durdle Door with a crowbar and trying to flip the whole thing upside down onto Dogger Bank. |  | |  |

I've stumbled across that fella before (not surprsisingly, we're probably in the same echo chamber!). He posts some interesting and thought provoking stuff. He captures my unease over the vandalism versus constitutional change really well in that thread. It's taken a bit of anarchy to get the system to move so sometimes it's necessary. |  |
