    As much as I hated Thatchers policies, there's no way she'd have kowtowed to this current rabble , Boris Johnson you're an embarrassment as a so called leader

    Agreed, we should never forget the past. Maybe these monuments should stay but have big signage attached saying what that person really was. I feel it's wrong to just let slave traders have statues around the place when people may not know much about them. I don't think people should have to actually look up someone to find out that they were extremely unsavoury. It should be very obvious - with an acknowledgement that these people where at one time looked up to by wealthy white people.

    Let's remember ' The past is a foreign country - they do things differently there'. (L.P. Hartley)
    No amount of statue destruction can change our history, people had different views, and now we are more educated (?) and humane, thank goodness.

    Thing is though to most ordinary people a statue is just a piece of bronze on a piece of rock, it could be anyone, I bet this bloke in Bristol has had more said about him this last day or two than all the years he's been standing there.
    Hands up anyone outside Bristol who had heard of him and what he did.
