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 ?

Nope, the story goes that a french ship wrecked off the coast in the napoleonic wars, the only survivor was the monkey and the good people of Hartlepool hanged it as a spy because they couldn’t understand a word it was saying, much like the rest of the country when speaking to people from Hartlepool 

maybe I’m wrong, but that was the story I was told from been a kid ?

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.
