Scout leaders salute Baden-Powell statue and try to stop council removing it over ‘Nazi sympathies’

- Scout leaders today saluted the statue of Robert Baden-Powell as they formed a human shield to stop it from being removed over his ‘Nazi sympathies’.
Robert Baden-Powell was honoured with the memorial in Poole, Dorset, 12 years ago - with critics now calling for it to be pulled down over concerns he was racist, homophobic and a supporter of Adolf Hitler.
But former Scouts and locals have today staged their own protest this morning after the statue appeared on a Black Lives Matter hit-list.
Activists have drawn up the "Topple the Racists" list of monuments they want removed from around the UK after demonstrations were sparked over the death of George Floyd in the US.
Protests in Bristol already saw the toppling of a statue of slave trader Edward Colston, with the memorial to Winston Churchill controversially daubed with the word "racist".
And Scouts, dressed in their full uniforms, today saluted in front of the figure of Sir Baden-Powell in Dorset as supporters formed a human shield around the statue.

As a Belgian scout, the idea of the removal of his statue deeply shocks me. I have been to Engeland as a scout and the people were really hospitable and I was really proud to be a scout! Scouts are united all arround the world and it has nothing to do with facism or racism, we should be thankfull toward mr. Baden-Powell and especially not removing him.
I was a cub then a scout , it teaches you community values respect skills ect , every thing this unrully mob hasn't shown!. They should have been mandatory scouts might have made then better people !.... I thank sir Baden Powell for starting a movement that gives Lads skill and gets them out on the Moors earning merrit badges along the way ! Medical skills emergency skills helping old lady with there shopping skills !. Yep I got all the badges I needed to set me up for a good life !. God bless you lot ! The police should be there really but thank you from a scout from 2nd Bideford
@@thelastpendragon4758 I agree with you guys, I have been a scout for 11 years now, soon to be a queen scout, but he did do some horrible things so people have a right to not like the man, however he did do some horrible things which should also be remembered so I don't see how removing the statue would help to remember the bad or the good, by being in place it keeps the debate alive.
Nice to see the scouts are doing a better job than the police
HA HA!! Well said!!
Police are busy practising a knee.
@@7210690 HA HA!!
BLM protest has caused more damage than police in GTA
@@greenpsyco1264 I feel like having the authority to kill innocent people with no consequence is way worse than property damage.
I was a scout from the age of 10-19 I'm from a council estate in Manchester. The things I learned and the fun I had are some of my best memories. I'm 41 and my closest friends I met them in scouts. I don't get the stupidity of taking it down.
Build a Job Centre next to it. That'll scare any protesters away.
Or bath/shower!
Haha. It makes you wonder why the Black Death killed 1/3 of the population in Europe. Wasn’t because they were hygienic. I can you that much.

There's slavery going on in Africa right now
There's slavery going on in Europe right now, what's your point?
@LARRY BUXXX the point is blm care about statues more than stopping actually slavery happening right now. Logic.
@Darth Pepe What, the western culture built on the backs of black people you dare say now has given you "a far better standard of living". Well it's time to give back.
@@keeplovealive9882 That's a gross over-simplification of history. What about the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, pretty much every landmark advance in science and engineering, etc, etc. The device you wrote that facile and half baked comment on would not have been possible without the advancements made by the West in the last couple of centuries. Your comfortable, consumerist lifestyle neither.
@@shivaspatel2024 I think you've made your point well, but I'm not seeing protesting so much as one group trying to impose its values on the rest of society. Now we've got far right supporters organising counter demos and "protecting" statues. I despise racism and the far right, but this BLM movement is simply going to engender more division and more animosity.
What times we live in when Scouts have more back bones than an entire police force and local councils
The Council should go before the statue, shame on them.
The council doesn't want to remove this statue but the police have informed them that they have information that it is at risk. It is also a small statue so I would think it would be easy to remove and throw in the water by "rent a mob". As soon as the council feel that it is safe they will put it back where it is now.
@@dragonfly6908 keep it where it is... they will never put it back! it sets a president, if a mob tears it down. then a new mob need to go show them why they shouldn't do it!!
@@Andyburns-vt6rs Totally agree. In London as I speak they are boarding up the Winston Churchill statue and the Cenotaph, very sad times. This is why I stopped voting for Labour years ago.
@@Andyburns-vt6rs Also it has just been announced that they are taking down the Thomas Guy statue outside Kings College hospital and Sir Robert Clayton at St Thomas Hospital and will be up to sadiq Khan to decide what he wants to do with them.
It’s affront to remove the statue entirely. There is no plan to place it back. The council is lying to the public by saying “its being removed for safe keeping” and it’s their way of removing it without annoying people, it backfired.
“British history matters” I 100% agree
True
John slavery lovers
@@bumberClart1000 catch yourself on. Slavery is horrible but there's no need to destroy our history.
It did my grandfather no harm being in the early days of the scouts nearly 100 years ago and I fail to see where I suffered in the Cubs or the Scouts 40 years ago and had no hesitation in sending my kids. Have I been molested ? No. Did I learn life skills ? Emphatically.
Good for them, most people like myself have happy memories of the scouts. Let's not tarnish this due to a small minority; the government needs to wake up! ⏰
How ridiculous the worlds gone mad
History can’t be removed . Yes lots of people weren’t angels but their contributions have built who and what we are and cannot be forgotten.
Julius Caesar's Gallic wars would be called genocide if judged by today's standards. It's estimated around a million people died as a result. I don't hear anyone asking for his statues or busts to be destroyed. That's because, for better or worse, he's an indelible and major figure in human history.
No-one is saying forget the past, just don't celebrate every part of it. Not everyone who builds a school or a hospital after getting rich from exploitation and cruelty needs a statue commemorating their noble generosity.
It can be removed doesn’t mean you have to forget it that’s what google is for
Erwin Pommel
The statues aren’t celebrating their part in the slave trade, they are celebrating all the good works they did.
To inspire others to do good things too.
No one looks at those statues and says “wow what a good slaver, I’m so proud of him”.
I didn’t like the way somebody treat me in the past, do I go and see them and take everything off them?
"British History Matters"
I agree. Let's teach colonial history properly.
yes lets learn more about what we've done to the world and not just the nice parts. Children in schools get taught what Hitler did. Why shouldn't we learn about our dark history.
Agreed. We can start with how the British stopped widows from being burned with their husbands in India and the East Africa Squadron.
Yes i agree, it's about time they taught the good things it brought to the world.

Oh, and while we're at it, we may as well throw all of the history books on the bonfire as well.
Ginja Ninjaaa how does having a statue whitewash history? The statue wasn’t there to commemorate his role in the slave trade
@Ginja Ninjaaa You talk such nonsense. ..And to state a fact. The most people black people killed, are killed other black people.
Respect from Hungary 🇭🇺 💪
Thank you
So the craven police would rather have the statue removed than protect it from the criminal thugs.
Idiot. It's cheaper to remove it on a temporary basis, than to have people guard it 24/7, or do you think they should waste police resourceses guarding it till things have calmed down?
@@soupdragonuk Remove it on a temporary basis? Once it's gone, it's gone.
@@JckSwan No. They said it was to be taken down on police advice as it was on a "hit list" of statues. So it IS being taken down on a temporary basis.
@Death Of Rats Love the TP reference. Sure, guard it for 24/7 for? a week? a month? Think of the cost. Sure, they may not be doing all that could be done in stopping some of the more high profile protests that got well out of hand. But, it's not really feasible is it?
I have been a scout for most of my life and I’m proud of it
wow, its going crazy, where does this end for all historical statues? there'll be nothing left across the globe, we can't judge history by todays standards.
What's next.... Oh Wait! Leonardo Di'vinci had 8 year old peasant boy work for him-- destroy all his art and statues. madness!
He didn’t enslave thousands. They belong in a museums
Not even joking
@@blessingsbest6838 neither did the man this statue is of. It is being taken down based on his beliefs, not his actions. So suggesting di vinci's work be taken down is a fair critique. I doubt Di vinci cared much for people of volour either. I think what the poster is trying to say is that if we start holding the past to our moral standards, everything must go. Ghandi =racist MLK =sexist.....the list goes on.
@glynnejones1 that made me laugh. don't forget Ghandi (in Military), William Wallace (killed people), Was it president Jackson... shot/ killed a guy in a duel over a cheating allegation. ha ha basically anyone not Mother Terresa would have their statues removed.
Was the peasant boy black?
I'm a young leader of 7 years and this warms my heart that peopel care so much about it
It warms your heart that people care more about a statue of a dead guy than of real people being hurt right now. We have very different ideas of caring.
I really hate how they are removing all these historic statues in the uk
Same. Everyone's apologising, most media content is being removed from platforms, and from my very limited use of social media, it seems to have turned to a complete shitshow. Everyone is trying to catch everyone else out by pruning through someone's history or recording everything... and people are sharing videos constantly of police making arrests where force is used, with no willing to understand the context of what happened before the altercation, or after for that matter and praising officers being beaten in the name of peace?. When a few videos of isolated incidents where police officers were out-of-line gets shared across the country and viewed by millions, then those small amount of videos will create a disproportionate amount of distrust between public and state and make an enemy of 123,000+ potentially good, law-abiding, protocol following officers. Social media has to much bearing on people's sense of judgement. Mob mentality has entered our daily lives which is only going to get worse. God knows what part of history will be deleted next or what liberty restricting law & acts will be imposed.
Just an FYI, Baden-Powell was a horrible person, but we can't erase the past to make us not remember about how we developed as a society otherwise we're doomed to repeat. Knowledge and education is the key, not dis-order and division. Rant over lol
You must be so proud of your sickening colonial slave trading forefathers
They're trying to erase history 😒
Which ones do you object to, and why?

I didn't join the Scouts but joined the Army Cadets because I was into advanced survival training. I will defend that statue stays and for the Scouts to continue. It would be a shame to see the Scouts discontinue because of some fragile snowflakes out there. Well done to the locals for defending it.
I joined both. I quit both after 6 years of scouts and 4 years of Army cadets. I will remember the good that happened in all my time there.
@@ednelson9913 I would have thought that after 6 years in the Scouts you were probably too old to remain.
In case you missed it in the title, it's not his affiliation with the scouts, or anything to do with the scouts, that's being brought into question.
nagualdesign well I did the things before scouts in those 6 years as well
@@ednelson9913 You did 6 year Scouts and 4 years Army Cadets. Much respect to you mate. Great days for me too in the Cadets especially using real rifles, machine guns and pistols.
I’m just seeing British Culture and history being destroyed in front of me, and being replaced with some dystopian ideals. Does this remind you of a certain book by a certain George Orwell?
Don't worry mate there's plenty of us 90s kids that were brought up right and listened to our grandparents who suffered and carried on during the war
If you truly understood the history of Britain you would understand why people want to criticise, question, and even remove these statues of people from this nation's past.
Harrison I do understand British history, and I know that it isn’t perfect, just like every single countries history on the planet. But to remove it and dismantle our culture is just disrespectful and dangerous.
@@tagapiouplayz3737 They aren't removing history but rather removing the physical celebrations of history. I think what most people want is actually to remember our history; because if we did remember it how it is we would not have these statues in the first place. These are not the men from history that should be celebrated.
There we go!!! That's the British spirit!!! Show it to those loony Lefties!!!
Next to be removed will be Christian churches , the flag of St George ,English history books !
Don't think so! Churches, Abbeys and Cathedrals are needed. Especially with so many - needing comfort and sympathy.
Statues today ... Burning books tomorrow ...
That’s actually a scary thought
@@Cherry-mb1xs We have come full circle and all things now are defined by race by the liberal elite and its foot soldiers. It is the politcal agenda that has now been set out for the future...

I hope the Nelson Mandela statue get taken down
This is a lovely community. Good for you.
Is this Great Britain or Africa if u don’t like our history get out the country
I dont think that's a particularly helpful response. What about the people who were born here? What about those who are multiple generations in? No one should be erasing history, but no one should be telling others to get out of the country either.
Neil Smith no but if the horse invaded and caused destruction to the cat’s home and then invited the cat to live in the barn not out of the goodness of it’s heart but to do the pesky jobs that the horse felt were beneath him then even though the cat is not a horse it has as much right to the barn as the horse.

Councils will spend 50k putting a statue up but won’t fix the road
Frank Score I remember when this was all fields.
That’s the council all over! I wouldn’t expect anything less
Councils will fix the roads but won't spend all their money curing cancer.
Do you see where the race to the bottom gets us?
The problem is that in order to save money, councils have for decades now adopted a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach to roads. Whereas in many other countries road maintenance is regular and frequent, in the UK we only fix them once every ten years or so. The result of this however is that it costs more in the long run, since you actually have to lay out a whole new road instead of just fixing the existing one, and it makes the quality of the roads worse and the road works more obstructive. However because councillors can kick the can down the road and hopefully unload the cost on the next council, they adopt a worse approach to road maintenance.
Thank you! I’m glad you said it. Talk about prioritises
That lot make ‘Dads Army’ look like ‘Seal Team 6’.

So did we get a vote on the removal of statues?

97alexander There’s a Baden PowellPrimary school in Hackney, Clapton, Ferron Rd.Are they going to destroy this great school,because they want to destroy history. Over 40 years ago I enquired about the name of the Scout Movement associated with the school. That movement is spread all over the world. It seems the Powell family lived in a house near by at the beginning of the 20th century. So the school was named after Baden Powell as he became famous.
Lord Baden-Powell.

@hulksmash05 presumably WW3 will happen in several continents, otherwise it wouldn't be a world war.
If you looked hard enough you could probably say that not one single person on this planet deserves a statue to mark an achievement in their life.
You could almost guarantee that everyone has done something that somebody else will find offensive,so therefore denies them the chance to be immortalised in bronze.
So what I am basically saying is,there statues,get over it and grow up,act like mature adults and not brainwashed thugs.
imagine not being able to see your grandad for months due to covid , just to see him defending a statue that was only put up in 2008.

Exactly right. We shouldn't pander to threats. Erect hidden cameras with motion sensors and let them deface it and face the consequences of their actions.
100% I agree!! It shouldn’t be removed by the council nor the authorities!! We should let protestors rip it down, desecrate and throw it in the river!! :)
If it is, you will never get it back, they will make some woke excuse and that will be your lot, gone from your sight and history.
This has to stop, it was only 5 years ago that we finally paid back the money we borrowed in the reign of Queen Victoria to free people from slavery. We are being played, as are the black people of this country, this is political, it's to divide us, that way we are easier to control. God help us all.

i see you two haven't run out of tin foil.
we need to keep reminders of our history ( good & bad ) otherwise history could repeat itself ......the melon heads don’t seem to think of this
That's my point. Like some people, for instance the slaver in Bristol, dont have any place having statues in modern society, but others like Baden Powell who created an organisation that is synonymous with British culture and has done a lot of good in the decades it has been in existence deserve to be commemorated for the good they done. Others such as Nelson and Sir Francis Drake who were involved in creating and maintaining the British empire STILL deserve to be commemorated due to the huge impact they had on the history and development of this country. As bad as the empire was by modern standards, it is still a major factor in this countries history and where we stand as a world power today. Even though I am the son of an immigrant I feel it is unfair we as minorities demand to erase significant parts of this countries history

What he did in the past cannot be undone , but the scout movement and support it gives the community that what the statue symbolises to them not the embroided persons nefative opinions or actions . The scout group has strict training to safe guard children at all times (I know I have done it) , deals with bullying effectively and doesn't stand for discrimination of any kind. It helps raise polite and considerate young people to better society.

When a statue of myself is built, it is critical we protect it with all our power, or this country will fall. I repeat this country will fall. Thank you.
Cheers bo jo!
Let them damage it, then jail them, and make them pay full reparation costs, and put it all on the BBC!!! Oh but then they won't will they???
Just shows whoever you vote for in this country your just voting for a different branch of the far left, if conservatives really are centre right they wouldn’t be letting this happen.

Sam Tagg Really? If they were so far right, they would be stopping this from happening
