[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

It is amazing how people become perfect after they die.

Good old George is clearly a wonderful man who would help anyone, and give them his last cent.

.........and there was me thinking he was a two times armed robber who held a pregnant woman at gunpoint.

Parliament should be ashamed of itself.

[Migalot]

Parliament should be ashamed of itself.

Politicians have no shame.

[Rangie]

They'll make a saint of an ex con next, what a load of shite.

I thought the BBC was supposed to be impartial. Well, where's all the racists? In the interests of balance, there should be some racists!

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I wonder if parliament will vote to replace Nelson with a statue of George Floyd.

Pretty sure Diane Abbott would be up for it.

[Rangie]

I think they are putting a statue up of Diane Abbott up at the Fish market, can't imagine why..😀

They'll make a saint of an ex con next, what a load of shite.

Hardly a new concept...

Oddly enough, this chap became St Paul

Yep you cannot judge history by today's standards.  Edward Colston for example was a man of his time when frankly most people probably saw nothing wrong with slavery (Unless you were enslaved of course!) and if he were alive today would still be a successful businessman and would just be buying and selling something else. 

But where does this all lead?  In years to come maybe we should tear down statues of people who made fortunes from coal or oil?   If the mob and their appeasing supporters think it's OK to tear down and desecrate public monuments that remind us of the past, when do the book burning's start?   

I'm increasingly coming round to the idea of buying a house on it's own somewhere remote and getting a couple of big dogs and a shotgun! 

At the risk of agreeing with the scrumpy nicking, Marina loving west Country lad, that about sums it up for me.

I suppose owning a Marina means you have excellent judgment.

.....or is that judgement?

I think it can be either or both.

It is almost a form of mass insanity.
