    No Trafalgar Square For HM? But Vile Savage Exalted? 


    No Room For HM?

    London Has Truly Fallen!

    No room for Queen Elizabeth II statue on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth, rules Sadiq Khan

    London Mayor says existing schedule of temporary modern art commissions will continue with work depicting anti-colonialist revolt

    Fourth Plinth
    Evil savage Chilembwe

    The Mayor of London is certainly unspeakable……

    000

    But no more offensive than a geezer named Samson Kambalu.

    Samson Kambalu with his plinth design, Antelope

    Mr Kambalu’s work depicts John Chilembwe, the anti-colonialist pastor who led a 1915 revolt against British rule in Nyasaland, now Malawi.  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/09/28/no-room-queen-elizabeth-statue-trafalgar-squares-fourth-plinth/

    TIME FOR FACT-CHECK!

    Chilembewe was a filthy savage.

    No photo description available.

    Well done, Save Our Statues!

    But …

    …Mr Khan said the work would “encourage discussion about the fight for freedom and equality.”

    And it’s not going to get better any time soon. .

    The commission that is set to follow Kambalu’s work, created by the artist Teresa Margolles, depicts the faces of 850 transgender people…

    .00000

    .

    That’s just nauseating.

    Works are chosen by the Fourth Plinth Commission, appointed by the Mayor’s office…. 

       the winning proposal is approved by the Mayor and funded by the Great London Authority at a cost of £140,000, plus a £30,000 artist’s fee. There is a new artwork roughly every two years.

    That money comes, of course…

    …from the public purse

      the Fourth Plinth scheme, which is one of the most prominent public commissions in the world and has generated controversy over the quality of the artworks erected.

    In recent years, these have included a fly-like drone perched on a sculpture depicting an ice cream cone, a golden rocking horse and a giant blue rooster.

    Heather Phillipson's sculpture The End has previously occupied the Fourth Plinth
    Heather Phillipson’s sculpture The End

    The scheme was first proposed in 1994 by Prue Leith, then chairman of the Royal Society of Art…

     Greater London Authority then took over the project….

    … Ms Leith said she would prefer to see the Fourth Plinth scheme continue, adding: “It’s really important that the contemporary stuff stays in the square. Each sculpture has had its fans and its detractors. Even if you hate what’s there, you know it’s coming down next year.”

    Tories Break Their Long Silence 


    When we read a Tory leadership candidate say-

    What’s the point in stopping the bulldozers in the green belt if we allow leftwing agitators to take a bulldozer to our history, our traditions and our fundamental values?

    “Whether it’s pulling down statues of historic figures, replacing the school curriculum with anti-British propaganda or rewriting the English language so we can’t even use words like ‘man’, ‘woman’ or ‘mother’ without being told we’re offending someone?”

    …we want to give three cheers….

    ….until we remind ourselves that the speaker, who happens to be Rishi Sunak, who happened to have been a senior member of the same government whose ‘Schools Minister…. ‘

    …..

    Schools Minister Robin Walker (pictured) said new plans will include diversity in a 'meaningful, rather than tokenistic' way

    Tory Minister Robin Walker wants school history bastardised – ‘meaningful’ diversity
    .

    ….a shameless, sell-out Tory jerk, namely Robin Walker, boasted of how the government’s “new plans WILL INCLUDE DIVERSITY in a “MEANINGFUL, RATHER THAN TOKENISTIC’ way…

    Who’s Worse, Woko-Walker Or Braying Bousted? 

    Yet Sunak did not denounce Woko-Walker then, so how can we trust him now?

    And when Sunak witters about how he will ‘review the 2010 Equality Act and associated guidance to make clear that “sex means biological sex”…

    …..but not repeal that meritless law…

    TranStasi Schooling – UK Court To Rule

    …and that he’ll ‘put guidance on relationships and sex education on to a statutory footing to ensure children are “shielded from inappropriate material…

    Connolly Street, Belfast? Why Not Jean McConville Street? 


    Women, labour, the working class, Irish and ethnic groups, are invisible in the city centre. That needs to change. We want to change Castle Street to James Connolly Street as a start…”

    https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast-news/belfasts-castle-street-should-renamed-18690283

    That’s the declaration of continuous culture war heard from an ex-councillor named McVeigh, whose party affiliation is very oddly omitted from Belfast Live’s report.

    Could it be he’s the very same fellow described as a ‘former IRA bomber” in a more candid part of the Ulster media?

    https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/the-former-ira-bomber-who-got-under-the-skin-of-unionists-in-city-hall-36480597.htmlShared

    Obviously renaming a well-known street after a man infamously part of the 1916 republican insurrection, whose statues grace both Dublin and, regrettably, a disloyal district of West Belfast..

    ..

    The statue of James Connolly, Irish republican socialist leader, in Dublin

    … is offensive to loyal British people in any British city.

    But let’s consider the other categories carefully.

    Women?

    McVeigh suggests Mary Ann McCracken, who is listed in wikipedia as a ‘supporter of the United Irishmen.’

    No thanks!

    Apart from anything else, that organisation’s name is surely irredeemably sexist  – not ‘Irishpersons! – and since we are told we must judge olden-times notables by modern standards, that must exclude McCracken.

    Might it not be more locally relevant to name a street after Jean McConville, a humble Belfast woman murdered by the IRA…

    .

    Cast-Iron Calls Obama – Let’s Get Adams Off the Hook! 

    …a foul crime defended by Sinn Fein’s Mitchel McLaughlin.

    In January 2005, McLaughlin declared that the ‘killing of McConville was not a crime, saying that she had been executed as a spy in a war situation..’

    Why not rename the Falls Road after Jean McConville?

    .

    A constant reminder of what Sinn Fein is all about.

    Mr. Speaker, Sir – You’re the Scum of the Earth! 

    .

    ..

    Ethnic minorities?

    If we want to go down that road, why use McVeigh’s weird suggestion of Frederick Douglass, an American who had nothing at all to do with Ulster?

    If there’s to be a road renamed to honour a black man, better by far to choose one of those listed below.

    .

    Black lives murdered by terrorists: Top rown from left: Pte Eustace Handley; Kingsman Marcel James Doglay; Gnr Errol Gordon; Gnr Anthony Brian Abbott Middle row: Pte Lynford Pryce; L/Cpl Grenville Winstone; Pte Anthony Carlos Harrison; L/Cpl Paul Garrett Bottom row: Julius Stephen; Abayoni (Max) Olorunda

    …..

    And what about ‘labour and the working class?’

    Might we not consider Johnny McQuade, a working-class hero who served the community tirelessly all his life?

    ..

    Johnny McQuade

    Just a few random thoughts on a plan surely put forward as a provocation by a man who wants to see Ulster amalgamated with an alien and hostile republic, which would undoubtedly abet his desire for cultural revisionism.

    Admittedly, there’s no obvious reason why this woman might be expected to know anything, but since she was apparently born and brought up in Britain…

    .

    ….you might think that, like every REAL Brit, she’d have heard of Britain’s most illustrious national hero, Sir Winston Churchill.

    Think again!

    Asked about the calls heard from the evil BLM rabble, for the removal of Churchill’s statue fom its place of honour in London, the ignoramus repliedas follows!

    I’ve heard many arguments on both sides,” Jones responded. “Some say that he’s a racist, some say that he’s a hero. I HAVEN’T PERSONALLY MET HIM, but what I would say is that that question of whether he should remain should be put to the community.”

    Good For Glasgow – British Resistance Rising! 


    It was very encouraging to read that the good people in Glasgow are stepping up to defend their British heritage.

    .

    .

    Glasgow has a ‘statue’ history, with that of King William III having had, so I’m told, to be moved from its original site at Glasgow Cross to a little park near Glasgow Cathedral, to avoid desecration by disloyal elements.

    Unfortunately, the disloyal element has grown, both in numbers and in audacity, as we have noted…

    IRA Chants Affront Glasgow – Ban ‘Enemy Within’ Parades! 

    IRA Murder-Gang Fans March In British City? Stop Them! 

    So all power to the Loyalist Defence League there who are ready to protect statues of notables.

    ..a video posted on the Twitter page of the LDL said: “Across the UK we have had far-left thugs violently defacing our war memorials/cenotaphs.

    In some cases they’ve daubed graffiti upon the statues and even pulled them down.

    .

    .

    These war memorials and monuments have been built to remember and respect the many people who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in maintaining the very same liberties, justice and freedom that these thugs claim they’re fighting for when in reality they are just using it as an excuse to riot, thieve and assault.”

    Well said!

    Mind you, there are some statues that do bring the city into disrepute, like that of the evil old Spanish Communist, Dolores Ibarruri.

    .

    .

    That hag would be none the worse for a prolonged dunk in the Clyde!

    BBC News? Embley’s Morning Propaganda Show! 


    BBC’s Embley is on this blog far more often than one would like him to be…

    Again, BBC Serves Up A Hate-Trump Breakfast! 

    Embley

    More BBC Breakfast Bias, Starring Anti-Trump Embley Again!  

    ….

    …but until he learns to be an honest journalist – Judgement Day, perhaps? – we must continue to monitor the leftist jerk.

    Embley’s Morning Propaganda Show, aka the ‘BBC News,’ was as loaded a dice as I’ve ever seen thrown, much time devoted to Andrew Cuomo’s rant about irresponsibility, which those of us aware of Cuomo’s record

    .

    Eight sex offenders — three of which were convicted of raping children — have been released from a jail in New York as a part of Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s statewide initiative to decrease prison populations over fear of spreading the coronavirus. Read more

    …take with a pinch or ten of salt.

    Kermit Cuomo’s Bigot Big Bro Plumbs New Discriminatory Depths! 

    Embley, needless to say, had not one pro-Trump American voice on air to  to contradict Cuomo’s hysterical outburst, a tribute to the UK tax-funded channel’s vetting system, again.

    And inevitably, President Trump’s entirely rational speculation about that dodgy old git who hit the deck in Buffalo was snidely dismissed as a ‘conspiracy theory.’

    Except that –

     ….

    New details are emerging in the story of Martin Gugino, suggesting he was an anarchist and a possible member of radical left-wing groups like Antifa.

    Even other protesters that day said they thought he was trying to provoke the police. https://www.oann.com/new-details-suggest-martin-gugino-was-intentionally-provoking-police/

    Then along came a woman nobody in Britain, and few non-leftist Americans, would have heard of – Ms. Jennvine Wong, from yet another of those obscure cabals that the BBC uses to augment its Hate-Trump resources, a bunch calling itself the ‘Cop Accountability Project.’

    At 8.10am on Wednesday morning, she yelped that NYPD were ‘still brutally arresting protestors.

    For fun?

    Or were the ‘protestors’ breaking the law?

    The latter, methinks!

    Then on to Oxford, a rabble ranting against Cecil Rhodes’ statue, interviews with whiners from Botswana and Germany.

    l

    What right have they to stick their noses into British controversies?

    NOBODY who likes the statue was given a chance to speak.

    Of course – it’s BBC.

    And off to Scotland, another statue targetted by disgusting BLM bigots, and THEN mention made of similar moves against memorials to a man long honoured as a national hero…

    0000000

    …Sir Francis Drake, the famous sailor who ‘singed the King of Spain’s beard’ by a daring raid at Cadiz.

    Oh, and Nelson and Gladstone and some 60 more..

    https://nationalpost.com/news/world/anti-racism-activists-draw-up-hit-list-of-60-statues-they-want-removed-in-london-englandShared

    These red scum are out to erase every hero who stars in British history, and the BBC’s idea of ‘balance…’

    …is to have some timid toad who reckons non-violent erasure of British history is preferable to hoodlum vandalism as seen in Bristol!

    But Embley could hardly wait to get back to his main propaganda theme, that funeral, where America’s worst race-baiter Al Sharpton, was a ‘star’ speaker.’

    Naklitta Foxx, given free rein to issue what Embley eagerly called a ‘rallying cry,’ told us more about the deceased’s background.

    But she didn’t know much and was honest enough to say so, before a rant about laws the Houston mayor was ‘trying to get passed’ –  about ‘police brutality,’

    And then Embley’s special request – give us a few lines of ‘we shall overcome…’

    No break from propaganda even when just before 9am, we had the Sports’ section, more clowns unburdening themselves on vandalising statues, like some barely articulate geezer named Genge, whose opinions are no more worthy of inclusion than the garbage collectors we mentioned yesterday.

    Today’s BBC ‘News’ Included A VERY Offensive Li!! 

    Then, some other BBC, for no good reason,introduced a retrospect on a man named Diallo, shot dead years ago in NYC.

    A totally one-sided wallow with no police spkesman, nobody giving the other side of the story – and there is another side –

    Diallo had recently filed a wildly false application for political asylum, claiming to be a Mauritanian victim of torture orphaned by the government security forces.

    In fact, he was a Guinean with two well-off and living parents. He had reason, therefore, not to welcome encounters with authorities.https://www.city-journal.org/html/diallo-truth-diallo-falsehood-12011.html

      I could see no reason for the BBC to produce that Diallo programme, about something that happened years ago, except to stir up even more ill-feeling against police.

      It is building up, and I do feel we are entering what our enemies call the ‘pre-revolutionary’ stage.

    Get Ready! Einstein Statues To Be Toppled? 


    We haven’t heard much in the news recently of statues of heroes being hauled down in response to tantrums by whining millennial morons.

    Last year there were numerous examples of anti-history vandalism, or threats thereof…

    New Statue Target For The Scum – CHURCHILL? 

    =======

    …in various countries, from the United Kingdom…Ontario Teachers Talk Tripe On Sir John A MacDonald …to Canada, and of course all over the USA, perhaps the land most seriously afflicted by the mental illness called, illogically, the ‘progressive’ ideology .

    But now we have a new shock-horror revelation – in The Guardian, so it must be heeded! – and it’s all about Albert Einstein, who has been found posthumously guilty of ‘xenophobia!’

    …..are not exactly persuasive evidence of the mind-broadening effects of foreign travel.

    Einstein certainly did evince some disturbing attitudes, such as when he pleaded for mercy for the notorious Rosenbergs, convicted communists traitors – Case closed: The Rosenbergs were Soviet spies – Los Angeles Times – a plea that mercifully fell on deaf ears, since the two red swine were duly executed.

    But on one of his trips to pre-Communist China, he came out with the following words, which if you or I were to echo them in, say, modern Britain, about certain ‘ethnic minorities’ there, would quickly land us in the clammy hands of Theresa May’s thought-police.

    “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

    As for the Japanese?

    The “intellectual needs of this nation seem to be weaker than their artistic ones – natural disposition?”

    https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/12/einsteins-travel-diaries-reveal-shocking-xenophobia .’

    Having made friends here in Jakarta with people of both Japanese and Chinese ethnicity, I’d say Einstein was wrong.

    But are there calls now for Einstein’s monuments to be toppled?

    One hopes not, for inaccurate perceptions of other races’ qualities has nothing to do with why he was, and still is, honoured with statues.

    Einstein’s distinction rests on his intellectual prowess.

    Just as Captain Cook’s role in the history of The Lucky Country is honoured not for what he thought about Aborigines but for his great voyage of exploration which resulted in the discovery of what was previously regarded as Terra Incognita.

    Australia plans Captain Cook monument for anniversary.

    However, I suspect a double standard will continue to be operated by bad elements in Oz, and Britain, and Canada, and the USA.

    Because the ‘anti-statue’ movement is NOT composed of those concerned with right or wrong, but of cultural marxists, and their stupid dupes, ever-eager to undermine national pride and appreciation of their nations’ glories.

      I have never seen any Einstein statues here in Australia but there probably are some. It would be pathetic to knock them down for what he said about Asians. It is just not relevant.
      The same goes for Captain Cook. Without him there would be no Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane. There would be no Australia. He deserves his statues.
      All this historical vandalism as you call it is completely pointless.

      As you say, his scientific brilliance got him his statues and neither his ‘xenophobia’ nor his political short-sightedness should be made an excuse for taking the statues down.

      Once again the Cook story is wrong Facts : He was never a captain, he didn’t discover Australia ( he was using Dutch maps) and was not the first English to arrive in Australia.

    Tearing Down USA – American Liberal Talks Sense On Antifa Red Nazis! 


    In January, we launched a fiery verbal attack on a left-liberal American academic, after he made what seemed to us a very bizarre comment about President Trump’s immigration policies.

    Wicked America! ‘We Kept Out Communists!’

    His name? Alan Dershowitz.

    At that time, we had hard words to say on his suggestion that it was somehow wrong for the USA to have kept out Communists in the 1950s.

    As our post seven months ago put it, why on earth shouldn’t America, or any sane country, do all in its power ‘to exclude evil people addicted to an evil supranational ideology?’

     As Trump is trying now to do.

    But fair’s fair.

    If you have a go at somebody who talks nonsense, it is only honest to offer a pat on the back when he or she starts talking sense.

    And what could be more sensible than this?

    “Do not glorify the violent people who are now tearing down the statues,” he said. “Many of these people, not all of them, many of these people are trying to tear down America.

    “Antifa is a radical anti-American, anti-free market, communist, socialist, hard, hard left censorial organization that tries to stop speakers on campuses from speaking.”

    “They use violence. And just because they’re opposed to fascism and to some of these monuments shouldn’t make them heroes of the liberals.”   http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/aug/22/alan-dershowitz-violent-antifa-movement-is-trying-/

    “I’m a liberal, and I think it’s the obligation of liberals to speak out against the hard left radicals just like it’s the obligation of conservatives to speak out against the extremism of the hard right,” he added.

    Well said!

    Donald Trump has condemned those ‘hard right’ groups AND the vicious thugs of Antifa, and it’s precisely that even-handed approach that has got the media creeps in a frenzy.

    The ‘hard right’ in America is insignificant. We here have derided the KKK in the past by comparing them to local IslamoNazi gangs.

    Who’s Next? Joan of Arc Statue Vandalised! 


    A most bizarre development in the war on statues being waged by BLM racists and red nazi Antifa thugs.

    Pj media reported last week that an equestrian statue in New Orleans was vandalised, sprayed with the bigot-left slogan “Tear It Down.”

    =========

    Jeanne d’Arc

    =========

    It’s Joan of Arc who was thus maltreated!

    I seem to recall seeing that statue when I visited the city many years ago and found it historically interesting but in no way objectionable..

    So why has it been defaced?

    PJ Media cannot find anyone to explain why Joan would be seen as objectionable, but although she is a feature of French history, not American – though New Orleans was once ruled by France, until the Louisiana Purchase in the early 19th century – she nevertheless exemplifies patriotism.

    And that’s something loathed by the cultural marxists behind the current campaign.

    Or there’s another explanation, touched on by a New Orleans local who runs the Joan of Arc carnival parade.

    “Surely, people realize she’s not related to American history.”

    https://pjmedia.com/trending/2017/08/17/new-orleans-joan-arc-statue-vandalized

    Given the moronic demeanour and utterances of so many millennials, I rather think the ‘people’ we saw in Durham, North Carolina…

    Communists Are The Traitors, NOT Confederates! 

    …and their counterparts in New Orleans, ARE unaware of Joan’s antecedents, as they are unaware of, because indifferent to, many aspects of history, except their own self-perceived importance therein.
