Marc Quinn creates a life-size resin and steel likeness of Jen Reid, a protester photographed standing on the plinth after demonstrators pulled down the statue of Edward Colston and dumped it in the harbor in the city of Bristol.

The toppling of his statue was part of a worldwide reckoning with racism and slavery sparked by the death of American man, George Floyd, at the hands of police in Minneapolis in May.

Authorities fished the Colston statue out of the harbour and say it will be placed in a museum, along with placards from the Black Lives Matter demonstration.

Bristol Mayor (who is black) has addressed the issue.

Great stuff ⚖️, justice is coming for all the monsters , just like the police here in Australia who simply stand on any one or anything that speaks up about them

The only possible thing this could be good for is for generations down the line reminded of the brainwashed identity politics and cancel culture subscribers erasing our ability to think for ourselves & discuss with logic & reason.

Just more litter

Burn Loot Murder

If you take the fist & create a flat palm, it’s a timely & sinister reminder of what you can expect in the future if this approach is allowed to continue.

Wearing an Adidas jumper made in a Chinese sweatshop. AllLivesMattter

That’ll be great for racial harmony .... a black person that no one has any connection with and didn’t sanction being shoved down their throats 👍🏻

Smash it.

Pathetic, she is probably a drunken criminal...

Disgusting.

What next ? A statue of Osama Bin Laden ?

I've done my share against racism but this is ridiculous.

Don’t be too surprised if another group of the miss guided idiots pulls that one down by mistake!

Don't make the blind justiceforOuïghours

All I can picture is a couple of school girls gushing about their notoriety because the PM mentioned their protest action in parliament 🙄

Useless statue!!!!

Only made of resin so it will burn easily.

there should be another statue opposite with someone doing a 'white power' symbol with a child in between shaking their head in disbelief

Well that was quick

Rip it down asap

But a statue to a racist marxist activist group, wont age poorly at all!

A statue commemorating violence. The new fascists

They definitely brought out her 'gorilla' like features, e.g massive lips, elongated eyebrows as well as other monkey like features.

Thanks BLM.

Looks like a hooker to me.

ALL Lives Matter, if YOU put a Colour in front of it it YOU’RE A RACIST

Yea! Racism is solved now! Nick Cannon doesn't hate white people anymore!

With the countless murders BLM members have been perpetrating lately on all races, I think it would be quite noble if someone toppled down that evil BLM statue

Get that down ASAP. Light a large cauldron and melt it. Make something usefel, like perhaps handcuffs for law and order. Its probably plastic though... Fake, like the whole BLMMarxist mivement.

This will definitely fix racism for good.

'Crime on the rise' as NY Mayor pays tribute to Black Lives Matter on fifth avenue | Sky News AustraliaThe ‘All Lives Matter’ pro-police rally outside Trump Tower was held in response to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s failure to address the rising crime rate in New York, Daily Telegraph columnist Miranda Devine says. \n\nFollowing Black Lives Matter demonstrations, the Mayor slashed spending to the New York police department and introduced changes to disciplinary action for officers, despite a major rise in criminal activity. \n\nMs Devine said Mayor de Blasio “is doing nothing about the doubling in homicides going on”.\n\n“A one-year-old boy was shot dead last night in Brooklyn with a drive by shooting,” she told Sky News host Alan Jones.\n\n“This is happening all the time and something like six people were shot and killed in the last couple of days”.\n\nShe said Mayor de Blasio’s decision to paint a giant Black Lives Matter sign on 5th Avenue directly in front of Trump Towers was motivated by a desire 'to troll the president'.\n\nImage: Getty NYCMayor mirandadevine waste of time to comment on this shit NYCMayor mirandadevine All lives matter not just criminals lives julie_cappiello NYCMayor mirandadevine

Leaked emails reveal government knew of problems on day one of hotel quarantineCorrespondence between government departments shows top government bureaucrats were concerned about the role of security guards in the program, requesting police be called in to replace them. Seriously “because those involved had not consented to providing the emails to the media.”?
