Mob Rule
Have we now got to the point where mobs (however well-informed most of them really are) decide which historical figures are allowed to be commemorated by statues, road and building names, etc, and which should now be obliterated? If that is the case, where will it end? Gawd help this nation now unless the government gets a seriously strong grip

Police refusing to prevent crime. And it gets worse.
Bristol has yet another useless mayor; this one feels no sense of loss over toppled statue, according to the BBC headline. How about authority's loss of control over the mob ? Not to mention the loss of decent behaviour resulting from allowing precedents which will encourage further lawless behaviour. Or the public's apparent loss of an authority figure that is against vandalism and specifically the wrecking of stautes of benefactors to the very city that the authority is supposed to be running ?
I want to know if he's provided funding yet to fish the statue out of the river, restore it, and return it to it's plinth. And if not, why not.

I thought Boris's government would get 'a seriously strong grip' on everything and not let mob rule win. I thought he was going to be a strong PM and stick up for this country and I also thought he had the cabinet to do it - seems I was wrong. Don't make me sorry I voted for you Boris! All we ever seem to do is pander to the minority, I was hoping all this would stop.
And Mr Khan is to review street names and statues in London .......

//As I have said before, the Colston issue is of longstanding in Bristol....some 50 years in fact. //
Indeed it seems to have been a simmering issue for a long time. I believe I read there had been a petition to remove it and 2% of the population of Bristol indicated they wished it to be removed. That was a large majority of Bristolians who thought it should remain. If that is correct then it is a prime example of how these anarchic thugs and vandals believe how democracy works. 'My Way or No Way'.
