The pulling down of the Colston statue has got the people of Bristol in a lather. Disgrace!!! Good on them!!! I'm somewhere in the middle. In that I don't give a fuck about a statue being there or not. My only issue is this, and it's the same for pretty much all protests, gatherings, whatever you want to call them. The people making the headlines don't give a shit about the cause, they just want to cause trouble. I hate them. I'd like to think that the people tearing it down were figureheads in the petitioning of the council to have it removed, which failed by the way fueling the 'good on them' crowd. But I don't buy that for one second. I don't buy that the people who were jumping all over the statue, the people who were throwing bikes at police horses or pelting coppers with bottles and anything else they could lay their filthy hands on were people at the forefront of the cause who felt compelled to take extreme actions out of frustration or whatever you want to call it. No, they're cunts. Using a 'largely peaceful' protest to hide behind and act a cunt. I want karma to land directly on those cunts faces. I want them to get trampled by a horse, to get dragged down from the cenotaph to receive a well earned and probably overdue kicking.

Cunts.
