The decision by BLM to call off today’s demonstration was smart. Leave these guys to pretend they fought in WW2 as they scream at a boxed up statue on their own.
UPDATE: The statue of slave trader Robert Milligan has now been removed from West India Quay.
It’s a sad truth that much of our wealth was derived from the slave trade - but this does not have to be celebrated in our public spaces.
