Have I said that? No.
And I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you keep on blaming "immigrants", while I'd like to point out that even British citizen did not agree with the memorial on Harris and the statue was repeatedly vandalised. http://archive.peacemagazine.org/v08n3p15.htm
Stop derailing the whole thing to further blabber (more than what it is anyway) and answer my question: do you really think that Sir Arthur Harris deserves a statue for his achievements in WW2 as leader of Bomber Command? |
You can try to 'rain' all you like, we Brits usually learn to carry brollies at an early age.
No I don't 'keep on blaming immigrants', in this one instance I've ever mentioned immigrants I'm referring to your own example.
Yes, I do consider Sir Arthur Harris to be deserving of a statue, as did and do the men formerly under his command.
And considering you weren't even aware of this statue's existence until you were told by PeterPanPan in this thread, your sudden wealth of knowledge regarding it's history and the controversy surrounding it is patently lacking in depth at best.
