Khan told Sky News that the ‘Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm’ will review all London’s landmarks, including murals, street art, street names and other public memorials.
“When you look at the public realm – street names, street squares, murals – not only are there some of slavers that I think should be taken down, and the commission will advise us on that, but actually we don’t have enough representation of people of colour, black people, women, those from the LGBT community.” Khan said.
“We must ensure that we celebrate the achievements and diversity of all in our city, and that we commemorate those who have made London what it is – that includes questioning which legacies are being celebrated.” he continued.
“The Black Lives Matter protests have rightly brought this to the public’s attention, but it’s important that we take the right steps to work together to bring change and ensure that we can all be proud of our public landscape.” Khan proclaimed.
Well my wife who is from Ireland didn't like seeing the statue of Cromwell when we visited London, he was the guy that was brutal to "her" people, killing them, enslaving them, kicking them off their own land and in some cases shipping them on the prison boats to Australia for petty crimes. He was a terrible man akin to Hitler but guess what she saw the statue and didn't think once that it should be taken down. She never thought about spraying it with graffiti or anything else.
It is history.
Purging History of what might offend someone is STUPID.
Its a PC contest. Which country can bow down lowest and the longest to the fringe left idiots.
