What exactly is untrue in what he said? You might struggle with that one.

Suspended for telling the truth....... just what extremists want.

I didn't realise the force with which Dalian Atkinson was restrained - time for an English jury to give their views on whether the force used was justified or not.

Dalian Atkinson murder trial: Ex-footballer Tasered and 'kicked'

Dalian Atkinson was Tasered for six times longer than standard by PC Benjamin Monk, a court is told.

This says it all for me.... "PC Monk kicked him in the head with such force imprints of his boot laces were left in two parts of Mr Atkinson's forehead" and that was after he was incapacitated.
There are wrong ones in all walks of life.

Right choice.
We should learn from the past not sanitise it.

Good its about time desisions are decided by a majority not just a small number of protesters.

Trouble in the middle-east, crazy financial landscape, covid recovery, and people are worried about "racist statues"

Stop judging yesterdays person by todays standards and get a grip.

I don't know what the majority view is on this. How do you?

YouGov likely have stats on this if someone can be bothered to check

I'm not saying I know the answer but you need to back up your claim.

All I can look at is the way the people of the city vote. The majority vote for left of centre parties so I'd imagine the majority are more likely than less likely to think negatively about Rhodes.
