No gave a toss about the Town's founder. His statue was defaced regularly.

I really don’t understand the need for ‘protection’ of war memorials during protests outside of Whitehall but if it’s keeping people occupied then crack on.

That's because there isn't a need, it's just an excuse for brain dead racist tommy robinson supporters to show off their white british supremacy

I expect people concerned about monuments to our armed forces ( emotive subject all round ) are worried there maybe some ill informed protesters who think that anybody who went to war at any point must be a racist as they went to kill other people for no other reason than they were for instance "German or Japanese" and therefore believe they deserve to have racist spray painted over their monuments. I give the protesters a bit more credit than that but i suppose you never know, people are passionate, frustrated and bored plus with no genuine local "racist figure statue" to target someone might attempt something stupid.....completely missing the point that all those that served and gave their lives in the armed forces, especially the world wars, fought for our freedom and liberty.

So by saying there isnf s need you are condoning the actions of those who have already and are plotting further damage to memorials. Is it is acceptable for Brain Dead fools to deface war memorials? My Grandad is dead in a cemetary in Holland so these people have the right to democracy and protest, to deface any memorial should be am immidiate jaolable offence regardless of if you are Black White or Any other colour.

That's the job of the police isn't it? Not the "Football Lads Alliance".

Indeed it is, I imagine the Stone Island brigade are just using this as an excuse for a scrap.

The reality is that there have been BLM protests in towns all over the country, mostly without any trouble or defacing/toppling of statues. The fact that "statues" have suddenly become a big issue is just a convenient distraction for those who would prefer to talk about that than confront the reality of racism and show any empathy towards black people.
