Yes, I agree, its not the best statue. I don't know what is wrong with modern day sculptors, are they taking something illegal to come up with that statue and lame excuse?

I remember watching Amanda Gorman delivering this beautiful poem at President Biden's inauguration and found it inspiring, moving and definitely written from the heart. I'm not even American, but then, that isn't a prerequisite for appreciating poetry written in blood, is it?
And then, buried amongst the latest news on the BBC website, I find an article stating that one single parent of a pupil at the Bob Graham Education Centre, Miami Lakes, Florida, had complained that the poem contained 'hate messages', resulting in the poem being moved to the middle school section, whatever the heck that means. Presumably because younger children would be offended?
Come again?
Needless to say, Amanda Gorman, who described herself as 'a skinny black girl descended from slaves', is furious over this... this...censorship and let's face it, there is no other appropriate description.
I'm tempted to utter a diatribe of expletives, but frankly that would do no good at all. Except to say that every instance of book censorship in the USA, and that includes poems, puts me in a very dark mood.
And I thought we had long moved past Lady Chatterley's Lover, when fornication and, God forbid, anal sex were not just taboo, but simply not discussed in polite company. Behind the net curtains perhaps.
But I digress.
Far be it for me to dabble in American politics, but clearly Trump Mark II, aka, DeSantis, is hell bent on pushing the American psyche way back to the Victorian era.
I find it horrifying. -

Correct, Chicago had a lot of problems recently, with a lot Walmarts getting things nicked and totally thrashed

This kind of behaviour has to be stamped out, and all the police seem to be doing is pandering to this kind of behaviour

They have certainly made a mountain out of a molehill and capitalising on the situation, especially in light of what happened to Diana.
Very cynical.

When they disarm the criminals first, we can discuss disarming citizens against our constitution.
US citizens need to re-read the 2nd Amendment, they have clearly, some on purpose, have misconstrued that part of the constitution

It depends on the country in reality, and depends what is the main cause of homicides, is it gun related deaths? The UK has a zero tolerance on gun ownership, those with special licences like sports men and women can own a gun, but I assume its a gun that has been produced not to fire normal bullets. You hardly hear of gun crimes, there are, but its nothing like that claimed in Honduras or the US

We must have patience. Even in a painfully slow, flawed court system, treason will eventually be addressed.
It astounds me to hear a man proclaiming his innocence of rape by dismissively saying “She’s not my type,” meaning “she’s not attractive enough for (wonderful) me.” Is there anyone alive who doesn’t understand that rape is an act of violence, not of sexual attraction?
I do have to agree with you there, saying that a person is not their type in a middle of a rape trial is simply so so so wrong with that person who said it. This isn't about woke, what Trump had said is incredulous. I remember him saying on his first campaign for POTUS that he could do or say anything, but that is going beyond the red line
