Sadiq Khan orders review of all London statues for slavery links

All statues in London will be examined with a view to removing those with links to slavery and plantation owners, Sadiq Khan has said.

The UK government has come under fire for its claim that the spreading protests are related to the US rather than prejudice in the UK and denials that Britain is a racist country.

Shame some people resorted to criminal damage to get their point across.

The next time you want to raise an issue with the government, just go on a rampage apparently..

Fully agree with this.
What we saw was savage behaviour by some people looking to fight the authorities.
Most of the black lives matter protesters were peaceful but there's no getting away from the violence and criminal damage.
That was no way to get a point over.


What was that you said again?

What more can you say?
What we saw was thuggery and destruction by a chosen few.
If they want reform, they are going about it the wrong way.

If we get rid of all statues that offend some people then most will come down.
We should start with the paedophile BBC ones and if you don't know which ones then google for them or look carefully when you walk past the BBC offices.

You would think that the BBC and all it's bad publicity associated with the TV and radio presenters touching up children that that statue would be the first to go.
Perhaps one day an anti-paedophile group will pull it down.
Hash tag children's lives matter!
