Stavross 16,239 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Just down the road from me these nutters They are known as monkey hangers, yet most of the statues are of chimpanzees ( they are not monkeys) it was said they thought it was a french spy and hanged it, so it’s ok to hang a french man as long as no one thinks they are racist, no wonder I stay away from the bad lands 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurcherman 887 13,264 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 fake news Hartlepool Council said it had not received any complaints about the statue Hartlepool Council's leader has denied claims from his own authority that a monkey statue was to be given a sign explaining its background. Mr Moore, who represents the Hartlepool Independent Union party, later wrote: "On a day when we should be celebrating Hartlepool being awarded the full £25m in Towns Deal money we are instead talking about how a statue of a monkey needs a sign to prove it isn't racist.
