Statue of explorer David Livingstone may be removed because he worked from age 10 in a mill that ‘likely’ used West Indian cotton – despite him being an abolitionist credited with helping end the slave trade

This is the height of absurdity.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

The want to get rid of John Brown’s statues as well...........

[BitWielder1]

In future years, many great people of today will be erased from history because they may have owned an SUV.

[Bloodandgravy]

Dr. Livingstone, I presume? When is this woke war going to end?

[shadowlands1960]

Actually, the way things are headed, I believe just having the wrong complexion will be enough to have you eliminated...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Doesn’t surprise me. Liberals will eventually all turn into blood-thirsty fascists that will accept no one who is not ideologically pure. Any mar on your background, no matter how slight or unintentional or how far back, is enough to ruin you, just like in the dystopian movies. They are all Stalin wannabes.

The liberal Taliban at work...

When we decide we have had enough and are willing to “pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

[Bon of Babble]

No one seems to be stopping them so why not?

Isn’t this what Britain fought for in WW II?

So their statues could be torn down and their history re-written.

I have Scottish heritage and I’m not too proud of it.

[bray]

Could any of these Virtue Grandstanders live up to their own scrutiny?

“If only there be ten righteous ….”

[shadowlands1960]

Yeah, I’m 68% English, the rest mostly Scottish with a sliver of Irish. I’m a walking United Kingdom..

[kosciusko51]

“All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old,
But there’s no England now.
All the wars that were won and lost,
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore.”

[sphinx]

A half-hearted start but pathetically inadequate. We must ban anyone who ever wore cotton clothing.

[John Milner]

Maybe we ought to start ignoring laws coming from Washington DC. After all, it’s problematic since it’s named after George Washington. And he was a slave owner.

BOOM!

[fieldmarshaldj]

So long as they worship Sodomy and Trannies, that’s all that seems to matter today.

[Lockbox]

Yep those ten year olds were making all the decisions at the plant.....
