Surely they should just "retain and explain" it.

thecrofter.bsky.social•198 days ago

Hmm. Just like we did with Edward Colston’s statue then.

tachy0nik.bsky.social•198 days ago

Hilarious

Where are all the women?

Hiding from the men with guns.

Scenes from #Syria to haunt every dictator's nightmares.

The guy riding Assad's face is doing a decent Slim Pickens impression.

I came across both videos thanks to the great posts of @thomasvlinge.bsky.social on Twitter.

Looks like he's here too. Just followed

But where are the women?🤔

jennzabar.bsky.social•198 days ago

If the US had balls but we don’t.

notmattbellamy.bsky.social•198 days ago

Great video, but ideally there'd be a woman riding on Bashar's face. "Mustache rides" and all that.

Hmm. Orange man being dragged through the street. Interesting.

mildredgold.bsky.social•198 days ago

All men? Not one woman on that statue? It's still an oppressive nation. But yeah, dictators best watch their backs.

lol, fucking hell. This is your main takeaway from this historic moment Mildred?! Bloody hell, there is always one.

mloster.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yes, but, who fills the void?

Driving through the -oh.

Beautiful scenes of happiness and jubilation of freedom!
