Sadiq Khan has announced a commission to review statues, plaques and street names in London to ensure landmarks in the capital “suitably reflect London’s achievements and diversity”.
The announcement comes after a statue of 17th-century slave trader Edward Colston was pulled down by Black Lives Matter protesters in Bristol at the weekend. The bronze monument was then pushed into the Bristol Harbour.
The London mayor said the new Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm will focus on “increasing representation among Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (Bame) communities, women, the LGBT+ community and disability groups”.
He also said a national slavery memorial and a national Sikh war memorial should be erected in London.
“For example, I think there should be in London a national slavery memorial, a national Sikh memorial, I think we should be commemorating great black Britons from Stephen Lawrence to many others.”
Stephen Lawrence was a black teenager from southeast London who was murdered in a racially motivated attack while waiting for a bus in 1993.

London was majority English to fairly decently.
This is the conquerors wanting to remold the city.
Who appointed this mush in charge of national artefacts?
When will they put up statues of the MUSLIM GANG CHILD RAPE GROOMERS?
You’d think they would have learned from Rome what happens when you willingly let the Barbarians in the gates.
GD Moslem. Revels in this.
Oh crud.
We have to have a monument for insane defectives. What will be the display? Guy spooning guy?
General comment but aimed at the Lord Mayor
How about statues that reflect the cities history ?
London was a great city when Pakistanis like the mayor were not even Muslim but ion mud huts scratching fleas.
Nope. Tell him the indigenous people were there first.
Because nothing says “increase diversity” like tearing down existing statues of diverse historical figures...
How long has this jackoff been mayor, anyway? No term limits in London, or are they just dumb? More’s the pity.
Quick scan, thought headline said Shaun King.
And why not?
He’ll do as well as any other anti history, anti white, woke remaker.
Nazi’s are also there...so will they put a statue of hitler?

???
I myself was referring to the “LGBTQERERWFASFS” phrase. Last thing I want is to try to represent how the statues fit in that category...
They voted for him just like the whites voted for Obama ...white guilt...
They should think about renaming Britain. Not everyone is British, after all, and calling England “England” implies everyone is English which is certainly an insult to the growing mobs of people who most assuredly are not.
Death of the West.
Muslim conquerors ALWAYS destroy monuments and artifacts of conquered cultures. I’m kind of surprised it took him this long to do it.
