      They put more history in it. That’s practically a service to the museum, a value add. Ought to be commemorated for it, really.

        They will be commemorated, by the prison system putting more history into them.

      Which is owned by the city, they damaged a statue owned by the city.

      Big fucking deal mate. No one was actually hurt.

        So there was no victims ofJanuary 6th either because the capital building is publicly owned too?

          You’re right, defacing a statue is the same as attempting insurrection, doubly so where people were assaulted or died.

          That’s your fucking amazing retort is it?

            My retort is that “it’s publicly owned so it’s fine if anyone destroys it” is a stupid argument no matter who makes it

              It’s called nuance.

              Not everything is exactly the same in the world.

      They poured what I eat for breakfast every morning on a chunk of stone. I think it’ll be fine.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
