I don't think that is quite the same thing.
Some things are to be remembered...they are part of our history.
And the guardianship of democracy is not in dispute.(how much democracy have we got anyway?......you might want to ask G.Jones about that...with respect of the chance to have a say on a much more important issue...the EU)

I did not, and do not agree with HBC getting involved in issues which are international in their origin(I voted NO in the poll)....but I fail to see what a continued (circular)discussion has on this issue. I am happy to be enlightened though.

It is plain that the councillors concerned are not going to do anything about the situation(if anything could be done)....and they know of the displeasure of those who have commented on here, but this does not seem to move anyone either.....it is, therefore, a bit pointless.
