I think this is getting out of hand, defacing historical artifacts that have a social significance regarding the history of this country.

This historical memories are there to teach us what worked, what was a failure ,how people adapted change and learnt to understand difference's of groups.

It is a measure of change since we started recording history.

I am really sick of this global movement trying to eradicate history and the importance of having these objects on show.

I dread to think what this country will be like in 20 years. Truly makes me sad.

I think it has gone mental , we have history good or bad it is history for current and future generations to see the progress we have made. What right do we have deleting historical imprints they were put here by the past temporary guests, we are current temporary guests have a duty of care to keep and add for future temporary guests to view and learn.

these statues should be used for educational reasons, trying to erase history isnt the right way to go.

There isnt a single nation on earth that doesn't have some form of dark past.

I wonder if they will go after the monarchy with wealth based on slavery.

I wonder how long it is before the pendulum swings hard the other way when the public have truly had enough of this crap.

It will start a backlash against none whites, this will fuel anger and hate.
