    Im gonna stick my neck out here and try to play the devils advocate.

    After much deliberation I’m now thinking the more controversial statues eg Colston and the like should be put in museums.
    Of course it doesn’t come up with a solution as to who was offensive to one person might be a hero to another eg Churchill but at least it’s a start.

    Well I learned that there was a statue of a slave trader in Bristol. I dont think it has become politically incorrect to mention the slave trade at all, regardless of colour. In hindsight I think it's more politically incorrect to have a statue of a slave trader missing the relevant information as to why it's there in the first place.

    Wills, you’re being a bit silly now.....and I’ll say the same to Ellers if he comes out with rubbish too.

    mid say it’s subjective, I think under the circumstances an unwise decision.

    I’ll agree to disagree on that, but in the spirit of good will I’ll retract. What about the journalist getting beaten up?

    Not condoning it but not surprised and to be expected.
    They see the MSM as the enemy, like the other side see the police as the enemy.
    A very sorry and sad state of affairs
