I cannot believe this news about those who toppled the statue of Edward Colston being found not guilty of criminal damage. Are we really now a country that says you can destroy public property as long as you're doing it for a purportedly noble political cause?

Grimes is such a ####wit. I liked the replies along the lines of, "You calling for a mob to get together and desecrate a grave hasn't made you look as good as you might have thought" after he called for people to attack the "statue" of Karl Marx in Highgate cemetery, a.k.a. his grave.

I was also a fan of the replies that were just abuse.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Brilliant! nm
