Statue of explorer David Livingstone may be removed because he worked from age 10 in a mill that ‘likely’ used West Indian cotton – despite him being an abolitionist credited with helping end the slave trade

Yep.
Ask the people who risked their lives in WW II and lost loved ones - many loves ones - how they feel about how their country turned out and was it worth it.
Most said NO, and if the they knew how things would turn out, they never would have fought.

Remind me again... which ‘religion’ does not like statues of any kind?
Got to find a reason to remove all of them, so it does not look like you are just doing it for that purpose

This is the height of absurdity. When you realize these statues are not being removed for anything the subject did - but because they depict White men - then it becomes less absurd and more malevolent.

The history destroying piggies strike again. They will only allow statues in America of mythical African “heroes” who they allege made American history by creating the United States of America. Bozo lies. All BS. In their gay Broadway farce, “Hamilton”, the idiots even allege that the Founding Fathers were Africans.

The ChiComs did this after winning the civil war there, and a couple of decades later their allies the Khmer Rouge took it to a whole ‘nuther level.

Before that they were basically erasing Chinese history; they were furious that the Nationalists took many historical treasures to Taiwan because it was evidence of their rewriting of history.

Yes, this is not about slavery (which is fine when the moslims and Africans do it) but cancelling white people.
