As the mob masquerading as innocent protestors for the black cause criminally damage statues and demand the removal of others based on 200 year old historical events can I please put in a bid to have the statue of convicted terrorist Nelson Mandela removed from display?
You genuinely believe there shouldn't be a monument to Nelson Mandela? Yes or a no will suffice.

Hitler salutes at the cenotaph and 'protecting' monuments. Those true Patriot football lads are really doing themselves proud today. Tweet 1271811339913232386 will appear here...

That's a very badly phrased question Yes I genuinely believe there shouldn't be a monument to Nelson Mandela or do I reply 'no' there shouldn't be a monument to Nelson Mandela Either way I don't know why there is one anyway not only was he a convicted terrorist but he wasn't even British so why have a monument to him in the middle of our capital city? Why would the UK commemorate him in any way?

Not sure why you struggled with the phrasing of the question, but at least I got a coherent answer. Nelson Mandela has done more for the breaking down of racial inequality than any person in the twentieth century. A man of principle and strength, yet he still possessed the dignity to forgive those who had persecuted him and the black people of South Africa for decades. His actions should be recognised and acknowledged throughout the world and serve as a reminder as to what can be achieved by will and an unflinching determination to overthrow the despicable system which was apartheid. The Thatcher government propped up such a system by continuing to trade with them. There is no more of a fitting place to have such a statue than the centre of the capital, so it can serve as a reminder of our failure to hasten the downfall of apartheid and to recognise the achievements of Nelson Mandela. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I know which category I place him in.

Doesn't look like what he achieved is doing much for the people of South Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_South_Africa

I'm glad my ex wife didn't have a necklace and little box of matches.

Why would anybody not condemn the senseless murder of three innocent people by a radical extremist? A crime is a crime. Stop trying to incite even more division.
