About time there was somebody in #london with a #backbone - who knew it would come from the #museums ? https://www.lotuseaters.com/museum-bosse.. I'm glad they will begin #protecting #statues and #monuments ...
After months of #blm #activists , #protestors and #rioters #destroying #statues - now - apparently it is a #sin to do this in #newyork https://www.lotuseaters.com/new-york-geo.. Of course, only if it's the #georgefloyd #statue ... If #defacing and destroying these things is #peaceful and #democratic when it's the likes of #churchill - I see nothing wrong here.
I actually think this move by #cambridge #university is one of the best ones - add #plaques to the #statues in order to save them from #marxist #communists https://www.lotuseaters.com/cambridge-un.. As long as the #historic statues survive this time, we have done our part in preserving #history .
Honestly, I would rather a #plaque than the #removal or #defacing of #statues - as long as it is at least historically accurate: https://www.lotuseaters.com/statue-of-si.. It is #pandering to the #blm #mob - but the addition of something is far better than the removal of historical #statue inheritance. We can always remove the plaque at a later date when social attitudes swing wildly once more.
An extremely important talk from #carlbenjamin a.k.a #sargon - on what it means to be #english and why it is under attack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxsAnmJu.. You may or may not take issue with the man himself, but his words here are quite neutral and fair in my opinion. Particularly concerning is how easy it is to destroy the #magnacarta ... As he said, given what people have done to #statues - it wouldn't be surprised if they start burning 800 year old documents next.
