No surrendering to the Woke Mob. Those students who came to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship and want to tear down the statute renounce your award and go home or study elsewhere . From across the Pond .
So the person who was benefitting directly from the money set up in the Rhodes scholarship , was the same person calling for the removal of the statue ? 🤦♀️ Oh the irony and the utter stupidity and hypocrisy
Send the woke staff to Legoland and force them to build and destroy statues until they have enough and are ready to return to their jobs and focus on more important issues.

Don't you know that in these modern times that to honour anyone with integrity who genuinely loves the people they represent and acts out of selflessness is heresy? There's more likelihood they'll erect a statue to the founder of BLM who spent over one million dollars buying a property (with the money she skimmed off of donations to 'the cause') in a rich white neighbourhood where there are literally only TWO black families.

@@wolfiestreet6899 You are wrong and ResCyn is correct. Oriel College came to this conclusion after the results of a survey sent to 1400 alumni in which many of them said that they were going to stop donations and rescind their bequeaths from their wills. Without these funds the college will not have enough money to continue and certainly not enough funds to continue the scholarships, for black students btw, set up by Cecil Rhodes. So, right conclusion for the wrong reason but let's celebrate it as a 'result'.
@@nuttysquirrel8574 Oh dear, another repeater of the official narrative with no idea about the backstory.... These measly donations could easily be offset by another woke benefactor.
@@wolfiestreet6899 To paraphrase you - Oh Dear, another woke leftie with an agenda. You know nothing about me, I was born, and lived in, Oxford for many years and even went to college there so I DO know, very well, the back story to Cecil Rhodes so, do not make assumptions about people you nowt about. Regarding your comment that a woke benefactor/s could make up these significant (my word) donations; yes, you are correct they could but the truth is they WON'T as they would not wish to be seen by their woke peers donating to such a racist establishment as Oriel College/Oxford University.
Finally a victory for common sense even if it is a hollow victory won out of financial reasons rather than common sense reason. It is always in the nations interest to stand up to bully’s. There is a reason government don’t make deals with terrorists.
Rhodes’ statue should remain at Oriel College. Also, they should put another statue of Rhodes the size of the ‘Statue of Unity’ on the outskirts of Oxford! ✌🏻
"Everyone has had a past, everyone has made mistakes" So true Calvin. I would like to know when we are going to talk about the Groominng scandal still taking place in the UK. And why are the Rochdale abussers still living in that town and have not been deported as promised. This is happening now....Not 300 years ago.
No need to spend any money for that. Wire rope and a pickup truck can do the job fine. Then you can donate the amount you had in mind to a charity or a food bank.
If the academics are not fulfilling their employment contracts then they need to be dismissed. Rhodes was born long after slavery was abolished and died long before apartheid was thought of.
Just wondering why Juilia and her cohorts keep wearing those HUGE earphones when the rest of the world knows that earbuds work prefectly fine. Is it to show that they are radio as oppsed to TV? But they are on TV!
In common with the protestors, Rhodes was subject to the prejudices of his time. I hope Oriel stands firm on this because if they give in, the woke mob will press on to their next target, of which an ancient place like Oxford has a large number.
I'm guessing that the Rhodes scholarship fund money will be repaid to the Rhodes family. After all, why would anyone want to benefit from tainted money?
Julia. I know it's your show but when are you going to start asking your guests simple direct questions and give them a chance to contribute as in this section with Calvin Robinson 80% of the interview was taken up with you over egging your questions to him !
Well as a former South African, they closed down the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town and took down a statue of his in Kimberly. So it is not out of the question that we are partially to blame for Rhodes erasure in history, but I also think Calvin is right in that a lot of British wokesters would have been offended regardless because of his super imperialistic contributions to the empire. Edit: Also, fun fact about Rhodes, he was gay. Just another thing that shows how little these people know about history. I'm willing to bet they would change their stance immediately if they knew that fact.

I don't mind Norman cathedrals existing, despite them being built by colonists.

I thought Oxford University was a listed building. That being the case, they can't remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes. End of story.

Get the Edward Colston statue back up as well at Bristol. Dont give into the woke mob ever!!
well done Oriel.
Stop trying to rewrite history learn to live what we have done, when Britain ruled the world it was a safer place fact.
The issue is still that they didn't back this on a moral issue, rather an expense one. Spineless.
No. It's because Rhodes is untouchable. If you know the history, you'll know why.
