There's a difference between having a shrine to a genocidal dictator and the result of that dictators genocide.
Franco's tomb desecrated for political aggrandisement.

Thank the Lord for that, but I never cease to be amazed about how little real world history is implanted between people's ears in quite recent UK education
No offence!

I think you may have slightly misjudged this forums core demographic. I've always had the impression its full of the types of people who would grass up slackers like you for smoking behind the bike sheds.

Yes we bloody well should care.
I suggest both you and the OP read a few history books, they say history repeats itself, given how quickly it’s forgotten its little wonder why!
Well I was the star athlete so I could get away with it.
Only those who dossed about in school would call the education system a joke.
Mabey you should have applied yourself a little more.

That certainly explains a lot.
So what is a good education to you?
Our education system is good.
Its just unfortunate some children are so stuck up their own backsides they cannot appreciate it. Along with their parents who think it's all the systems fault that little Jimmy can't excel. More like doesn't want to.

I know who Franco is. What he did. So it's nothing to do with being ignorant. And I still don't care that they're digging him up and moving him. And I'm not going to pretend to be offended on anyone's behalf about it. I don't care about Franco in the slightest. I have my own things to be dealing with in the hear and now and Spain has about as much influence in my hear and now as translucent beings from the depths of the Mariana trench.

Quite impressive really
I here you buddy, back to school
I'm only out of bed. Stop tossing "back to school" around like it's an insult. You come across as a pretentious arse.
because they are facists and don't care how many people he killed?
Like the communists and socialists that don't care how many people their dear leaders killed. Everyone standing pointing fingers at everyone else like their own political **** doesn't stink.

By that logic, 37% voted for Brexit, 35% against, and the other 28% undecided, so we shouldn't be leaving.
Doesn't clearing away the bad parts of history just give everyone a picture of everything was always and always will be happy?
Franco was a bad man, but just because he was a bad he shouldn't be erased from history.
People need to remember what people like this did and how they corrupted and broke countries and the world. Hiding them away is just bringing about the not learning from the past idea.

While we're at it, blow up the pyramids and remove 1000 years of slavery and early deaths, although to be fair, most tombs are already desecrated
This isn't about erasing him from history, just moving his remains from a national mausoleum, which has been a focal point for his far right supporters, like Chris
, to a private cemetery.
