Absolutely! I’d never heard of the man. Glad he’s at the bottom of the harbour!
Drowning a statue in a harbour has done more in a day to encourage people to learn about the history of slavery + empire than the national curriculum has in 30 years. That’s not a ‘distraction’ from the movement, that’s long-overdue impact.

Has it also given people an excuse to disapprove though? I genuinely don't know if it's a good thing. But then I've been to Bristol and learned about the slave trade before. Awful.

Reparations to slave traders from the UK state were only completed in 2015. These payments must have been made to people and families still alive today. Anyone know who they are? - I saw somewhere that D Cameron’s family, for example, were beneficiaries.

2015 was the end of the repayment of the bonds used to repay the compensation paid out at the end of the slave trade.

Hopefully this will encourage people to learn about their current political figures and their racist views too. Not only about the history of slavery + empire.
