and, for those on the other side, find another day to defend that statue in Westminster, it’s not under any particular threat today.

Replying to @SLevelt
It is annoying to see how that statue is being discussed however Cromwell took part in the colonialism of the Caribbean, namely Jamaica. So he’s not just committed crimes against the Irish and it would be worth discussing.

Yeah I get that, but even just looking through the tag I see way more people using a “does that mean we should tear down his statue also?” White folks need to stop making it about them, I agree. But his statue should go.
