Smallman1 This is Ed ‘Man/Woman of the People’ Smallman signing out

Did you mean ‘coming out’ Ed/Edith?

      Founder of the Boy Scouts statue now removed lol.

      Wait for it lads, the man who founded one of the most popular boys clubs in UK history was, to quote a Labour MP:

      “… very open about his views against homosexuality and that he was a very open supporter of Hitler and of fascism and quite a strong, outspoken racist.”

      What more do you look for when choosing which wholesome club to send your child to during their formative years?

        Mad_Cyril Did you mean ‘coming out’ Ed/Edith?

        Just wanted to prove how un sexist I am MC!

        The most modern of men!

          -si- Lol, I must have been ill or not listening at those Scout meets, as all I remember was doing cool stuff and playing with mates.

          Might free up some spaces at the local Beavers for my lad, as the waiting lists are huge! Every cloud…

            Hursty Do the Germans let the Nazi era shame them and hold them back? No they don’t, they accept and acknowledge it and move on. They are now world beaters in many areas of modern human life, whether that’s sport, industry or techno 😎

            You’re arguing that we should leave things as they are and then use the Germans as an example of a country and acknowledged it and moved on. Well, the German’s have banned Nazi Symbols, so they can’t be taken down - so they aren’t really comparable in the slightest

                -si- Depends who ‘they’ is. Different laws in different countries currently. In the UK, for example, it’s legal if you have two job candidates of the same capability to give the job to a candidate from a protected group (e.g. an ethnic minority group) purely on the basis of their group status. In South Africa, it includes the use of pre-determined quotas in companies, sports teams or educational institutions.

                For the record, I’m in favour of affirmative action, but think it’s poorly implemented in many societies. And whilst a vast majority of my circle of friends is white, those that are not aren’t looking for dramatic apologies and shoe kissing. They just want to be given a fair fucking chance.

                  Along_the_Wire What I was saying is that post Nazi generations have not let anyone shame them for what their predecessors did, they have got on with being a productive and prosperous country.

                      mono-stereo BLM UK state that “We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures”.

                      While we’re considering questionable parts of history which should not be repeated, Marxism is certainly one of them.

                          Not sure the UK is an imperialist, white supremacist place in 2020? And is a patriarchal society the end of the world and to who’s detriment?

                              -si- And is a patriarchal society the end of the world

                              It’s not the end of the world, no. But it’s also not ideal is it?

                                Does it affect anyone negatively, mono?

                                Does a patriarchal society effect anyone negatively?

                                Yes mate, it does.

                                And it’s changing…

                                Do we kill, burn shit and topple statues of men until it’s not the case?
