That's like asking "Are you good looking" ... it's a judgement made by others surely.

Any statues you'd care to add, kris? www.toppletheracists.org/"Now at least 72 memorials honouring colonial figures have been targeted for destruction of activists on its 'Topple the Racists' website and yesterday they forced the removal of 18th Century slave dealer Robert Milligan from outside the Museum of London in West India Quay, Docklands. The removal of a statue of the so-called 'Tyrant of Trinidad' Sir Thomas Picton from Cardiff city hall is nearing success as all of Labour's 130 UK local authorities agreed to draw up a list of controversial statues in their communities which could be ripped down after Edward Colston's was destroyed in Bristol on Sunday."

And your point is?

that they are a bunch of thick idiots ?
do they think that removing statues alters the history ?
Things that happened are things that happened, they are part of history.
Change the name of Guy's hospital ?
Changing names of streets in the East India estate because they are names of people from the East India Company ?
Pathetic or what

Personally, if I was a descendant of African slaves, I’d be going for financial reparation from the financial institutions and companies that became very rich off the back of slavery and are still very rich today. For instance Tate and Lyle, one of the things not understood about this business is that slave owners insured their slaves so some of the biggest insurance companies are built on money made from slavery. All of this can be traced, and proved. Dublin was a very big centre for slavery, in Viking times. The Norse being big slavers. In fact if there is an ‘o’ in front of a name, ie O’Leary for example. It means of and denotes the person to be a slave of the Leary’s. The fact is that slavery hasn’t ended in fact it’s becoming more common again. Obviously not on the scale of the transatlantic slave trade. But still it’s on the rise, so my hope would be that all this focussing on historical slaving, will lead to an awareness of the modern day slave trade and help bring it to an end.

And your point is? If you're against acknowledging History and abhor Slavery, how about toppling a few statues of 'racists'? Or you can simply suggest a others they may have missed on the site. How about the statue of Dick Whittington and his privileged cat?

If anything it distracts from modern slavery.
Slavery is a thread that runs throughout history to try and hide that fact is pointless .... now to start a drive to put pressure on society to stamp out modern slavery, well that would be a worthwhile cause.

I’m not into the removal of statues, I’d go after the living descendants of slavers who are still living off the proceeds and the companies and financial institutions who profited and still profit from the slave trade. Much more productive than removing the statues of a few old dead blokes.

Slavery is alive and well on the farms of East Anglia, get yerself down there and give the gangmasters a good old finger-wagging, eh?
