Did the naming a pub or erecting a statue in the first place change history?
The 400 year old pub is still there, pubs change names all the time, but is this really what BLM have been fighting for? I'm sure things like this are not high on their agenda.

Bandwagon jumping now. Everyone needs to be seen to be doing something even if really nothing is being done.
I heard they’re renaming the Ivor Davies, the Ivor Novello has been mentioned. Nobody ever thought of that name change before:getscoat:
Errrr...off the top of my head I'd say both were extremely weak attempt at making music (pretty much the same as 'thrash'). Neither genres to me (and it is only myself that I am speaking on behalf of, of course) sound anywhere near musical enough to grab my attention.
when rap turned to hip hop i lost the fecking plot. where will it end
I know a few unusual ones;
Tigers Head and Tigers Tail: 2 pubs on opposite sides of a junction in Lewisham. alwayus made me wonder which was there first!
Ship and Shovel on the A13: A street corner pub of what used to be rows of terraced houses (bit like strangetown) now all that's left is the pub in the middle of nowhere
Cow and Snuffers
The Ely: only because it was in Salisbury road :shrug:
Frog and Nightgown: On the Old Kent Road, used to have a licence till 3 Am when pubs normally closed at 11 PM
The Moon under water: Leicester Square. (Several Wetherspoon pubs in London have moon references.)
The Half moon: Bow Road East End. roughly half way between two other pubs The full moon and the New moon. (Spoons pub but the other 2 aren't)
The knights Templar: Fleet St
The Beaten Docket: Belfast (Losing betting slip)
I'm sure there are lots more if I could only think of them.
The Frog and Rhubarb - somewhere near Luton Airport.
The Halfway Inn...........go on lad, ram it home!!!!
