Regardless of our own beliefs and stances, it is a historical fact that slavery is part of our national story. The country would not be where it is today without it. If they will not be taken down, then at the very least we should use their prominence to educate people about what Britain was built on, so that people have no choice but to face historical reality.
This is what we need to do with disgusting statues of slave traders
