Where have I suggested or supported putting up monuments?
I think there are better ways to teach future generations about slave traders than erecting enormous fucking monuments in their honourhttps://twitter.com/francesweetman/status/1269645909681455105 …

Where you say you err on the side of thinking tearing down this one is a bad idea? And where you say memorials can help teach people directly after that?

I find the idea that a statue to someone can do anything other than portray them positively weird. It’s a big piece of metal in their shape. Even if you put a note next to it saying ‘this guy was a bit off’, it’s still a massive piece of public space dedicated to them

Lmao YES. It’s incredibly revealing that she does not see that

People will have learnt more today from that statue getting ripped down than they ever would have keeping it up

It was not teaching anyone anything where it was without being placed in a critical context. Now it has been acted upon, the statue has a narrative behind it that arguably helps in its ability to educate on Colston and his legacy. Fish it out and put it in the MShed.
