A statue of the man who founded the Scouts movement is being removed from Poole Quay amid fears it is on a "target list for attack".

what!?

from Wiki:

"Scouting for Boys: A handbook for instruction in good citizenship is a book on Boy Scout training, published in various editions since 1908. Early editions were written and illustrated by Robert Baden-Powell"

he,s only been up 12 years,maybe if all those down there saying he must stay went home and read up about the man,some may change their mind,
I havnt read up but will do at some point,
I,m sure if they were statues of wieldstein,epstien,people would have took them down, the right have been hammering labour over anti Semitism for 5 years now defending a possible supporter of hitler

These are historic things. Three years ago the current boss of the WHO put up a man known for genocide of his own people as a goodwill ambassador for the WHO. I saw no riots about that.

according to sussanah reid and gmb he was a nazi sympathiser, doesnt say that fact at all on wiki if ive read it correctly.
it seems piers wants to erect a statue of tom moore up, Grin , until we may find out a few skeletons during his 100 years

Let's face it the statue Piers Morgan wants put up is a statue of Piers Morgan.
Right next to the one Peston will put up of himself. With a long s p a c e d  o u t  s t u p i d  q u e s t i o n  b e lo w  i t.

More kowtowing to the mob. We're a pathetic society, just pathetic.

How about put some security on it and pass a new law that allows chucking anyone vandalising it into the water tied to a concrete replica?

A nazi sympathiser? The scouts were banned in Germany, Italy and most fascist states of the 1930s.
Whatever Powell may have personnally thought his scout movement has done far more good around the world and continues to do so
world jamborees etc hardly conducive to racism is it? This is madness by some woke c*nts who have jumped on the bandwagon.

There was me thinking all the fuss was because he was considered a nonce and was certainly known for enjoying looking at pictures of naked boys. You lot can stick up for him all you like.

People saying this is getting like "denouncing" from a f*cked up communist state are not far wrong.

Plenty people have been accused in the past of these ''nonce'' things, some true most not (but the damage is done) - without hard evidence...
Your source isnt Tom Watson is it?
Report Whisperingdeath June 11, 2020 11:41 AM BST
erm no. Baden Powell looking at photos of nude young boys is well documented! Do an internet search. Unlike some on here I don't make it up as I go on. Opinion is one thing. Posting ideas and thoughts as fact are something else. Who has or wants Zulu banned?

On the one hand he is accused of being against homosexuality, the next he is accused of looking at photos of naked boys.

He can't win!

Because it's not part of the narrative. Do keep up. It's a shame JC didn't get it, in December. We would have you now sent to a cultural re-assessment training camp!!

He wasn't accused of looking of photos of naked boys Jack he did look at photos of naked boys!

Ahh so it transpires the person behind the campaign to get the Powell statue removed is, dah-dah-dah, a Corbynista failed Labour candidate and Labour activist.

So dense hateful militant hard left wing garbage. Nobody can be remotely surprised.

The cultural revolution can't come fast enough for them can it. Hope this email doesn't lead to me being put in a camp for "education".

Sorry, WD,

More power to him, in that case.  Or not.  Not sure what to think, now.
