I hope nothing comes out that means we need to rip this one down...

You mean apart from Jack Grealish?

Could always get a Russian one off the internet?

A headliner writer somewhere has earned their corn today...

The real tragedy is that the pressure group demanding its removal has gone with "Rhodes Must Fall" as their slogan, when "Where We're Going We Don't Need Rhodes" was staring them in the face.

Flags of now-defunct countries are always good options in that game. The Kingdom Of The Two Sicilies: Republic of Anguilla: Top marks to Rurutu who put their name on it so nobody forgets: Republic of Formosa: A Wikipedia rabbit-hole worth jumping into.

It's a pity, she's brought shame on the good name of the Miss Hitler pageant.

There were five who went back from twenty in my five year old's class. So I can anecdotally back up those numbers. Twenty minutes into her first day back on Wednesday she had a hayfever-related cough. So they sent her home again. Same happened with two of the other four. So they had two kids from twenty to work with. Edit - as an aside from the above when schools go back in earnest, it's going to be impressively chaotic when older and more wily kids realise that a big coughing fit is all that they need to do in order to be sent out of school.

Surely the only honest answer is "it depends on the property, the damage and the context" Unless anyone is prepared to argue that the people who took hammers to the Berlin Wall should have been prosecuted for criminal damage...

I reckon cut out the middle-man and get the crowd to just dump him straight in the harbour.

Or to put it another way, for something to be "alleged" then there needs to be an allegation. It's not just a get out of jail free card for making shit up.

I think I preferred it when we were all experts on epidemiology and trade regulation.

Just to check, if we're going with "Churchill beat the Nazis, that means he gets a bit of a pass on all that other bad stuff" we're applying the same standards to Stalin, right?

Well sure. But you don't actually have to celebrate that, do you?

Community service for all involved. To be spent talking down other statues. (credit Newsthump)

Must be fundraising season again.

They only had the dopey moron part of its people from the beginning. It's just that a few more of that demographic have now had to watch their grandparents die.

I was in M&S the other day and they had piles of them, £3 for three.

(Anecdote added for the punchline rather than any sociological interest) Reckon in the twelve years I've been with my company (current staff of 500+) I reckon there have been no more than a couple of dozen black people working there in that time. None of whom has been managerial as far as I can remember. Oddly enough, from that strangely small sample the only person I had occasional dealings with was Tyrone Mings. He was pretty decent in work football as I recall.

It depends on how you are defining the party. If you want to define the party as the handful of people in charge of the operational machinery then sure, no disagreement with what you've said. If you want to define the party as the wider organisation encompassing its registered members and those who lean towards it enough to turn up and vote for its leader (as I'm choosing to) then I'm happy with my choice of words.

I'm not so sure. I think a huge number of Democratic voters would be just as susceptible to voting for a famous person based on their personality rather than a record of policy positions. I reckon that someone with cross-political appeal and a big enough name would run away with the nomination just as Trump did. The Rock, Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Springsteen. If any of those really fancied it then I reckon they'd get the nomination and would probably win the election as well. But then I approach this from a positon of usually being wrong as well.

While I don't disagree with the thrust of your point, things are only the status quo until they stop being so. In early 2015 there would have been a significant amount of precedent to show exactly why the Republican party wouldn't pick "somebody like" Trump as it had never happened before. Likewise in 2007 there would have been a long list of reasons that the Democrats would never pick "somebody like" Obama.
