Perhaps the Solent has turned upside down. :oops: .

The process of change is incomplete as your refusal to accept that there is still extensive racism shows only too obviously. While racism against black people still exists and still hurts, the presence of statues to such as Colston intensfies the hurt, regardless of any added explanations...

Well the "discovery" of North America did indeed lead to the very real miseries ever since of the First Nation Americans, but they hit the wrong target. It was Leif Eriksson who first entered North America from Europe and founded the first European settlement there, so they need to find a...

They weren't lead acid batteries then, if rectangular cans they were lithium, probably lithium-manganese similar to this one below: The electronics in the battery are only its management system which also relates to the charger. but you'd need a different charger with SLAs of course...

Drake was a pirate employed by the crown to raid other nations pirate ships to kill and steal their booty, so of necessity racist. Stories around him like defeating the Armada were apochryphal with him the author. He never did a worthwhile thing in his life and eventually lost his own life...

Also SJS have a large range: 102 x Comfort/Cruiser types on this link Also the "Other handlebars" section has some that can be used the other way up as cruiser types, they are on this link .

Not even that it seems. Some while after dropping their mascot name of Golliwog and naming it only Golly, Robertsons felt compelled to drop the Golly name too. .

The Golliwog back on Robertson's Marmalade jars? ;) .

A benefit then. We've lost more than that in rubber dinghys crossing without using the tunnel. .

No, people like Colston and Milligan were well documented and recorded, we know exactly what they did. Only a few in living memory are in any way comparable and their statues have mostly long been pulled down. .

While there is truth in all the accusations you make, you are part of the problem in misrepresenting that as the major issue, thus ignoring the truth to suit your apparent inability to see the obvious. It is not, it isn't even an issue. The issue is the constant underlying racism that is very...

This isn't about trial by public on petty issues. They didn't kill or harm large numbers, we can each ignore their behavour. I ignored them and everything they did, including their overrated "music". .

- - - turn it into an off-road area for illegal e-biking hooligans to race around on. SW would love it. .

Which don't work as I've just pointed out !!!! I know you are a lost cause in your denial that racism exists, but perhaps you'd like to switch on the Media Show on BBC Radio 4 at 4.30 pm today, very soon. If that's not convenient you can instead listen later on this link. The subject is...

Of course not, they represent the complacency that lets evil persist. Protesters are the minority that achieve change and prevent the evil. That well known criminal and ex convict Nelson Mandela for example, Mahatama Gandhi too. .

One cannot catch Covid-19 from a statue. ;) And from the protesters point of view, some issues are more important than the slight risk of catching a virus. When the cause is worthwhile protesters have often risked being shot or beaten to death. .

Irrelevant though. I spoke of London statues, Bristol have spoken of theirs. I doubt the nation as a whole cares an iota about statues elsewhere or having the actions of the incumbents displayed. .

Of course those happened, but I wasn't speaking of universal suffrage or the rest of the world, only England As I posted there was considerable rebellion against the establishment and their views through the 18th and 19th centuries. Indeed it is is even spoken of as the start of the steep...

But that's good, it's awoken you and millions to something they've been ignoring. In London we've been trying for at least sixty years to get something done about the large number of truly offensive celebratory statues that we have littering our streets. But the authorities have ignored all...

But the fact that it's prompted you to post as you've done and got others discussing it proves it was the right action. Nothing before had worked against our establishment, this did. .
