my point was about statues removal in general, not Colston in particular, that's why I used "one of these bronzed victorian notables"
if some tried to change the plaque then good, it just demonstrates there's plenty who agree with my view. these kind of gestures and statue toppling are a global issue, cecil rhodes and american civil war generals and franco favourites. To me it's straws. all these people around the world who swapped plastic straws for paper and thinking they were making a difference, while at the very same time millions of tonnes of household recycling, from these very same smug little do-gooders in the west who were patting themselves on the back for buying a M&S pack of metal straws, was getting dumped on china where most of it went into landfills or was burnt in toxic fires. not that people gave a fuck what happened to it once they sorted their plastics and the council took it away. But hey! look at our straws. And even recycling is a minor issue compared to the traincrash of global warming. But they felt they've "done something" by switching to paper straws. Just like people feel they've made a difference by toppling statues and congratulating themselves for having so much more right-on views that these fuckers in the past whose evidence that people once respected them needs to be erased like stalin's ex head of secret police. they were all cunts and if we'd lived back then we'd have been so much better.
