I don’t think @MichelleDewbs actually understands what desecrate means - it’s treating a sacred place or thing with violent disrespect. Statues are not sacred thingshttps://twitter.com/MichelleDewbs/status/1271502963392024578 …

Why do these ‚protesters‘ find it so difficult to work within the democratic framework to get these statues and landmarks removed if they are causing such an offence and instead ignore democracy and criminally deface and take down these objects?

The Bristol council refused to remove the statue of the slaver so the people acted & took it down.

Proving the point - didn’t like the democratic process - could have run a campaign and get people to understand the background and with a sufficient number of signees on a petition it might have worked?

There's was no democary in the UK when the statue was erected. The council for years refused to remove it. The people acted & removed it. Good for them! Oh, & people did know what the statue represented, that's why they pulled it down.

1000s petitioned the council to have the statue removed. The council ignored the people as they thought there was nothing wrong with having a statue outside the city hall to celebrate and commemorate slavery. Not sure why you're defending the council here.

No -!this was a failure of the democratic process - councillors over ruled the petitions
