Protesters in Bristol have pulled down a statue of a slave trader and thrown it in the river. Now that I can get behind. That is protest.

Of course, it has worrying implications, because if they think they have the moral authority to start pulling down statues of, say, Churchill, we could have some problems.

But I have no idea why a city should celebrate a slave trader and this kind of change is something that does need to happen sooner rather than later. I would hope cities and towns around the country are urgently reviewing the status of their statues.
