spongebob toonpants 3997 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Tear the lot down, hope they do the same thing the the Rhodes statue today. They've been trying to get it removed democratically for years and been roundly ignored https://twitter.com/mrjamesob/status/1269657255366049794?s=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33266 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 They need to come down, tbh. I mean Jimmy Hill did a great job for Coventry but are we supposed to forget about that ten minute delay? Pull it down. FTM. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21632 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Am I being whooshed here? Wasnt Earl Grey the PM at the time of the abolishment of slavery act? I'm shit at history so could be completely wrong I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Anyone ever been up Greys Monument? The stairs up are “cosy”, and there’s not a whole lot of room on the plinth around the statue once you’re up there. Good luck to any fucker trying to pull it down.

Rayvin 5223 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I googled Grey's Monument yesterday because I was concerned and saw that indeed, the guy was PM when slavery was abolished. As such, I thought it would be safe. Alas not It may be insensitive of me but i hope they don't pull that one down, it's iconic for my youth. I've met friends at it for about 20 years.

Tom 14011 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yeh also he wasn’t responsible for the things they’re saying he was. If they try and go for that monument there’ll be hell on. I’ll personally protest to keep it should the need arise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
