Very bright, she will have spotted all the problems with her Nelson thesis. Like coherence. Wikipedia tells me that she now works for Sky. I.e. for the unacceptable-to-the-<i>Guardian</i> Rupert Murdoch. Surely consistency demands that his empire be pulled down, not supported and certainly not supported by Afua of all people.<br /><br />It's tricky. It's tricky now and it was no doubt tricky in Nelson's day, too. Tricky for Nelson, who had <a href="http://www.nelsonandhisworld.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=288" rel="nofollow">a record of being quite nice to black people</a>, and tricky for the Brits – should they really put up a statue to someone just because he saved the country from an imperialist tyrant with colonies in Africa and the West Indies?David Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345636878071983416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-83937178115943915572017-08-25T07:48:20.364+01:002017-08-25T07:48:20.364+01:00Just outside New Delhi, in an abandoned park where...Just outside New Delhi, in an abandoned park where the 1911 Coronation Durbar was held, is an overgrown garden full of old statues crumbling away as the years go by. These were British colonial era statues removed from their plinths in the centre of Delhi after independence in 1947. If you know where to go, you can still wander round admiring these abandoned memorials to forgotten generals and viceroys.<br /><br />I like to think that the Indian authorities decided that while they didn't want prominent reminders of the past all over their capital, they also didn't want to give unnecessary offence by tearing the statues down ostentatiously and destroying them.<br /><br />The iconoclasts of the hard left might be interested in the Russian response to this sort of thing. When the Estonian Government decided a few years ago to remove a statue of a Russian soldier supposed to symbolise the liberation of their country by the Soviet army, they woke one morning to find that none of the state IT systems was working due to a foreign 'denial of service' attack. <br />ex-KCSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-68579530672656791932017-08-24T09:55:59.806+01:002017-08-24T09:55:59.806+01:00When he was mayor of London, old commie, Ken Livin...When he was mayor of London, old commie, Ken Livingstone wanted a statue of Nelson Mandela to be erected in Trafalgar Square. Anyone that suggested it would be inappropriate was immediately accused of racism; the knee jerk reaction of the alt-left.<br /> He actually made the point that having Horatio on his column and Mandela below him showed the beginning and end of the British empire.<br /> Old Ken also went to Africa and made a sniveling, stomach turning, apology for the slave trade. Without a shadow of doubt this was an unspeakable stain on the conscience of humanity. However, apologising to Africans, whose ancestors kept the horror going long before and after Britain's shameful activity, was dishonest. Well, he had his own electorate in mind, I'm guessing. <br />And if we're talking of taking down the statues of those who have brought mayhem and misery to untold millions, how about we start with Karl Marx?Biased BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419186809182839053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-47377532324172890392017-08-24T04:46:01.595+01:002017-08-24T04:46:01.595+01:00Odd, my first comment appears to have been obliter...Odd, my first comment appears to have been obliterated by the above.
