So it was an OAP that lived in the flats and thought all the flags etc were inappropriate as,
"There is a memorial in a church nearby which is 700 metres away and Mr Burke's view is that this is a more appropriate place for tributes to be left."
He absolutely shouldn't have done it and if he was unhappy should have complained to the council, but I can understand him being unhappy.
I drive past it a few times every week and I'll be driving past again within the hour.
I must say that with all the football flags hanging, it can appear a little like a perimeter fence at an England away game.
I'm absolutely fine with it, especially as a football fan, but then again I don't live there.
Goodness me Paulie, not sure what I'll-informed point you were trying to make but even thinking of quoting a source like the "Loyalist Channel" tells us more than we ever wanted to know about your political leanings.

i dont give 2 shits about politics, this came on my timeline as it was re tweeted by a snooker player

See, that's where the problem lies though. Someone retweets something that's from a pretty appalling account, and you retweet it yourself without knowing anything about it.

'course mate, similar to your explanation for starting a thread citing a black player accusing a white player of racism without knowing all the facts.
You know what you're doing and so does everyone else.

Then maybe don't retweet political tweets where you don't understand the implications.
As said, directly against the wishes of his family as well as misleading.

In this case all i said was that proffesional lip readers have said he never said anything racist(which as no charges have been made, my point is proven)

How is Lee Rigbys memorial being taken down racist.
Maybe that account is racist, but the post itself isnt.

OK re-posted but usually re-posting something without comment suggests you agree with it.

Of course the post itself was racist. The truth is the family didn't want it there, the post claimed it was because people were offended, no prizes for guessing who they're implying were offended. The truth isn't a story, but only scum like that account would choose to lie about why the memorial was removed I order to stir racial unrest and score pathetic political points.

After his mother actually saw the "official memorial" she said she WASNT happy with it
IMO the place where he was murdered should be where the plaque (whatever) is.
Since then, from what I can see, she is happy with the amended memorial. And it appears pretty clear that the family approve totally of removing the ad-hoc "memorial". I think that their opinion should be the one that is respected.
The ad hoc memorial should be removed if there's an official one in place. The twats getting offended about their Union Jacks being removed are just looking for an excuse to get offended - this has nothing to do with Lee Rigby.
Perhaps all these patriots could maybe do something constructive instead?
It might be Luddite and flat earth, but despite the very minor notion that I might be excluded from something or other I don't regret not being on Facebook or twitter. They are everywhere, and venerable institutions operate on the assumption that everybody is on those platforms, not everybody is. Just like not everybody eats meat and fish. Twitter and Facebook are very wealthy private businesses and not everybody wants to be involved with them, from the outside both platforms seem to me to be the MacDonald's of the internet in that they are everywhere, on the surface attractive, yet ultimately damaging especially to human intellect and interaction. Watching the rule by tweet of Trump and others, and the very selective perspective that Facebook shows to the world often leading to trouble and strife for people I really don't understand why people use those things. Maybe there is something massive I am missing out on, but I doubt it, perhaps Twitter and Facebook are passing phenomena that will disappear as quickly as they arrived.

RIP Lee.
"A permanent memorial to fusilier Rigby was put in place at a different site on Armistice Day in November 2015.
Lyn Rigby, Lee’s mother, said in 2016: “There is a permanent memorial to Lee at St George’s Chapel in Woolwich which is what we wanted.”

Hope people keep putting them up .
