Re: Statues

There's a commission that will review any landmarks that relate to the slave trade....Khan has absolutely no rights over City street names, statues or landmarks.

More media manipulation of facts.

Until I discovered Smirnoff I thought a statue was a telephone.

Re: Statues

A comment I agree with.

Slavery happened. I despise both slavery, and the fact that it happened. We cannot however rewrite history.

Our efforts now should be aimed at ceasing the various forms of slavery still with us, rather than toppling a statue into Bristol Harbour.

Instead a number of new memorials in the capital have been pledged by Mr Khan, including ones for Stephen Lawrence, the Windrush generation, a National Slavery Museum or memorial and a National Sikh War Memorial.
