John Lambies Doos Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 There's a statue of Charles II in Edinburgh dressed up as Caesar - who was a war criminal and a slave trader.

Any statue of Royalty should be dismantled full stop. p***ks the lot of them I feel strongly that you're right and that Britain's royals have been, even since James VI, a partial bunch. I have very little sense of being wedded to Britain's monarchs and if we, as a country, become a republic then it would get my vote. So for sure, bring down the statues of kings of Scotland prior to 1688. They were, after all, a partial bunch. The only statue of a Scottish monarch in Glasgow worth maintaining is that of William of Orange who, of course, defended the right of parliament over the crown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're a decent Scots/Irish bloke but how do you feel about the constant ridiculing of the Duke of Wellington? By any measure it is anti-Irish bigotry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 So how do you feel about the constant denigration of Ireland's most famous son in Glasgow?Ok, re. The Duke...despite being Anglo Irish and Protestant, he did champion rights for Irish Catholics which was quite brave of him. Re. James Connolly; Im not surprised an Edinburgh man gets a tough time in Glasgow. Look he was a socialist and a republican, he was good friends with Hardie and also pushed the socialist labour cause in Scotland. Unfortunately in Glasgow, many just see him as a dirty ******...which is pretty much par for the course in West Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
