I guess it is becoming increasingly irrelevant to the modern population of London in fairness

Though I can't imagine Winnie would be too happy.

Apologies just saves someone else doing it

Yes this was last week I think. Some people seem to want to erase history and ignore good things these people did for our country to warrant the statue. It's simply ludicrous.

Where does it end?

When you start erasing history and our foundation stones and only look to the future then its gonna be bleak. Parts of the country are already starting to resemble Alcatraz and scenes from mad Max ! Crime is rising as the police are cut and the courts are just pathetic. It's all a steady erosion !

Any excuse for a bit of the Redskins......Turn it up!

Bonkers, its a huge leap from monuments to those who fought a war to continue slavery to those to anyone who had slaves in a period where it was the norm.

Anybody that supports this is proper nuts. I saw the article in the guardian and the guy seemed to be one of those people that just wanted some attention.

And once you have rewritten history you start to forget the lessons from history

I think ze Germans tried a head in the sand approach about 10'years ago before coming to terms that their awful history is a part of what they have become now.

Not many statues of Hitler, mind.

Nor Hitlers in the Munich phone book.

What's black and slides down Nelson's column?

But lots of Hatler's and Hisler's.

The haven't ripped up the Autobahns though.

Rewriting History isn't on.Its happened and it was a different time. How far back do we go and where would you draw a line? Should we start banging on at Italy about the Roman invasion asking for reparations?

Well I think all Italians should be banned from going to the zoo for feeding us to the lions for starters.

All this article proves is that anyone who takes The Guardian seriously is as bonkers as the paper itself. It’s a worthless lefty rag that can only hope to influence the gullible by giving a voice to loony columnists like the daft woman who wrote this article and obnoxious whingers like the painful Owen Jones.

The only thing that surprises me about this thread is that Sick Boy hasn’t given the story a ‘like’ and suggested that Lord Nelson be replaced by a statue of Dianne Abbott.

That's ridiculous. David Lammy would be much better.
