It adds that “descriptions of the states that represent Asia and America also reflect this Victorian view of European supremacy”.
Umm.
The 176ft Albert Memorial opposite the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington Gardens, west London, was built to honour Queen Victoria’s late husband in 1872,
In 1872 the European civilisation was supreme. And?
Prince Albert’s memorial is “considered offensive” because it reflects a “Victorian view of the world that differs from mainstream views held today”, custodians say.
Strangely, the mainstream view is the same today. That’s why those not blessed by European civilisation as yet are coming here in their tens of millions. It’s only amongst grievance studies graduates that the view differs.
We just need to convince the Border Force that they are really being nice, kind and considerate when they shoot the people trying to come here. If they’re too stupid to realise they are being offended, it’s better than getting here and finding out…
Which retarded pressure group or fakecharity thinks up this sort of rubbish? Hopefully not one with any pow…
Oh.
It’s just a temporary problem because with the numbers of skilled doctors and engineers we’re importing it won’t be long before under the new demographics all sculptures and paintings depicting people will be haram.
They’ll all be pulled down and removed soon, inshallah.
Thank you Grist. I love your reasoning!!
If the Albert Memorial is taken down, then the Natural History Museum, The Science Museum, the Albert Hall, and the V&A, will all have to be demolished, as it was due to Albert sponsoring the buildings, that they exist at all.
Also, what about statues or busts of Kier Harding, or Clement Atlee, which do not reflect modern society?
I think it would be a very good idea to revive pre-Empire historical culture in the UK. Get rid of all this Victorian crap. Meet the rubber boats landing on the south coast with showers of arrows & armoured warriors wielding spiked maces. Turn the surf red with the invaders’ blood. Traditionally cultural innit?

I think the boaties would then start bringing AK 47’s over with them. As a lover of overkill, I’d vote for using nukes.
Asia is depicted as a woman on an elephant, America as a native American, and Africa as a woman riding a camel. The African sculpture also includes a white European woman reading a book to a black African tribesman.
That’s racist, because he can’t read innit.
It follows a nationwide clamour at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests during the lockdown in 2020 to address public monuments considered by some to be controversial.
There was no “nationwide clamour”. The media simply openly encouraged a campaign of anti-white hatred and aggression in order to honour a dead banana thief in America.
If you think you hate journalists enough, you don’t.
I think it should all be torn down because he was a Kraut and now we have Brexit!
That’s about the intellectual level of it, innit?
“The African sculpture also includes a white European woman reading a book to a black African tribesman.”
I had some great aunts circa 1910 who used to do exactly that for a living.
Boganboy: “I think the boaties would then start bringing AK 47’s over with them”
Thus proving they’re an invasion force… That’s one problem sorted then…
I sort of pine for being part of a nation that was the best in the world and knew that they were. Europe had been ahead of the rest of the world for quite a while already. Being a fan of Baroque music I’m well aware of how far ahead of the rest of the world Europe was in that particular area. In those days, for a lot of the world, music consisted of hitting a log with a stick.
In those days, for a lot of the world, music consisted of hitting a log with a stick.
And for those parts of the Far East that had their own classical music, it sounds like a cat being neutered without anaesthetic, Raga and gamelan ain’t bad, TBF.
Yeah, to be fair, no doubt they thought our music consisted of hitting a log with a stick. Or the cat neutering procedure. Some of it, they wouldn’t be far wrong. What was it someone said about Wagner? “You listen to four & a half hours, look at your watch & it’s only been thirty minutes.”
There was terrible genocide done by the UK, Spain, and the USA in the 19th century.
There was even genocide in our neighbour Ireland in the 19th Century due to extreme free trade economics.
Here is a video you may learn from.

There were famines in British run India, Africa, and genocides in Australia.
There were famines in India and Africa before Britons and other Europeans got involved. What’s your point caller?

Glad to see you violently disapprove of immigrants swarming into a country and displacing the indigenous populace.
Actually though, there are more abos in Oz than there were before the whites flooded in. But I’m sure you’re against our governments’ policy of importing millions more immigrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Some abos are able to adapt well to our culture. You might have noticed them screaming and howling for reparations. Others have more problems.
Mainly it’s the booze. After all, we’ve been drunkards for millennia. Those of us who can’t stand it have long since died. Still interbreeding should eventually make sure that we each benefit from the worst characteristics of the other.
The Northern Territory government tried to ameliorate this problem by making sure the dole they were given couldn’t all be spent on grog. However the courts naturally felt that it was immoral to make the blokes spend dosh on their wife and kids. So as you can see, they’re treated just as badly as we are.
Jgh – Famines were more common in India in the British Empire before independence. Explain why?
And why was there no famine in England, while there was in Ireland in the Potato Famine? Explain that!
