Statue of slave trader Edward Colston will be permanently kept at a Bristol museum nearly four years after it was toppled by Black Lives Matter activists https://t.co/TPjkIVh5Iw Diversity is our Strength as British Govt & Bristol Council have let Violence Win the Day. If you want something moved Riot like BLM.
@ellymelly It is great to hear the #CaptainCook statute is going to be put back up. I do hope that all the other statues taken down around the world are put back up too! This erasing and censoring of history must stop. #ColstonStatue #GeneralLeeStatue
“We’ll be working with the council to reinstate the statue.” This approach won’t bring opposing views together.
If we learnt anything through our work on the #ColstonStatue it was don’t rush decisions - open a conversation and listen carefully

3 years on today from the fall of #Colstonstatue following #Bristol #BlackLivesMatter protests. Out of sight but not out of minds...
#OTD 13 December 2021 - the trial of the #Colston4 started at #Bristol Crown Court - the 4 were accused of #criminaldamage for helping to tear down the #ColstonStatue and chuck it in the harbour on 7.6.2020.
On 5th January 2022 the Colston4 were found #NotGuilty 👏👍✊😊
Could you imagine if this 4th plinth Statue in Trafalgar Square suffered the same fate as the #ColstonStatue in #Bristol ? As #SadiqKhan tries to anger Conservative #Royalists by refusing to allow #QueenElizabethII statue ❓
Read what it resembles 👇👇👇👇👇
#Bristol’s mob that decided they were judge and jury on the #ColstonStatue were wrongly acquitted and should have faced the full force of the law..the statue should be returned to the plinth other Bristolians placed it..unless a majority say otherwise…
In April, I referred the ‘Colston Statue’ case to the Court of Appeal for clarification of the law relating to criminal damage and protest rights. My reference was successful on all counts. Well done to all those involved. 1/2
#Colstonstatue & #Colston4 trial - the #CourtofAppeal Ruling on #AttorneyGeneral referral (on a point of law) now out.

Two years on from the fall of the #Colstonstatue the fight continues.
Despite #BorisJohnson’s attempts to deny the existence of institutional racism the #BlackLivesMatter movement exposed Britains brutal colonial and slaveholding past and the ongoing reality of a racism.

Clear that Far Right #ForBritain pulled their demo at #Colstonstatue in Bristol because they were afraid of the counter-mobilisation by antiracists. Massive #solidarity to everyone who made this happen #BlackLivesMatter #nopasaran #NeverAgain https://t.co/gkJ7oefIUH
As #FarRight #ForBritain look like they may have pulled their demo at the #Colstonstatue plinth in Bristol - let’s get ready to oppose fascist #TommyRobinson in #Telford Saturday 7 May #NeverAgain

#NeverAgain #WeStandTogether #NoRacismNoFascism
The toppling of the #Colstonstatue was a massive moment in the #BlackLivesMatter movement - that’s why #BorisJohnson and also the #FarRight hate it so much - great result if the demo has been pulled
‘The Ziegler zinger’ @norazbitchez @Chris_Co1e @Henrietta_ and Joanna Frew one of the defences used by Colston Four #colston4 #colstonstatue #freedomofexpression #righttoprotest

7 June 2020 #ColstonStatue toppled; 5 Jan 2022 #Colston4 acquitted; 3 Feb 2022 survey reveals 4 out of 5 people from Bristol saying the statue should be on display in a Bristol museum (80%). Not so "controversial" after all: https://t.co/LAe6mWmS9e
