Sadiq Khan will review all statues in London to ensure they reflect city’s diversity

Stephen Lawrence was a black teenager from Southeast London who was murdered in a racially-motivated attack while waiting for a bus in 1993.

He wants to put himself in the sea

geraldi23591291 ** Is this the point where SadiqKhan has effectively lost the next election for London Mayor.

The one of the murderer Oliver Cromwell should be binned

Fuck. Right. Off.

A man with sense! It take a non-white doesn’t it?

Stick 'em in a museum.

Good and about time.

maybe they should make one for him, I'm sure lots of people would enjoy that lol 😂

Christ in another 50 or 100 years our society could be ripping down new statues from our current times for different reasons of abhorrence. This could be a never ending circle.

Tell him to get his mitts OFF OUR CITY!!

Statues reflect history, not the mayor's taste.

Here we go! Another bloody foreigner attacking our nation!

Why does SadiqKhan think he gets to decide on this? Surely this is a issue for the whole UK population to agree upon. We are meant to live in a democracy after all.

how many people did lions kills? just saying...

About fucking time!!

So add new statues, do destroy the old ones.

No one should be surprised that British historical figures heavily lean towards ethnically British white people.. That’s something you’re going to have to learn to live with.

Thanks god! 👍🏽👊🏽

Zzzzzzzzz

Ha!ha!ha!.........

Surely sweeping history under the carpet doesn’t solve anything for anyone?

The Muslim will review all statutes in the United Kingdom's 2000 year old history! The British are so naive it's absolutely astonishing.

It’s ridiculous to suggest that historical monuments should reflect todays diversity. The whole point of history is that it reflects the diversity of its time and should be taken into context. What SadiqKhan wants to do is paint over with today’s mores.

As a person who can trace my family history back 300 years in London this is plan fascism. How dare he.

Jesus

Like the Caliphate.

Starting with Queen Victoria no doubt! Can't wait to see what Londoners feel about that when the time comes.
