I wasn't really referencing the US statue-pulling-down because that's a lot more fraught and convoluted. It was more the thing with Cabot in my home town of Bristol (UK). But fair criticism, it's not an equivalence. I was struggling to find a decent example. Though I can totally see a PETA stunt of pulling down a statue of Elvis because he ate meat.

> Though I can totally see a PETA stunt of pulling down a statue of Elvis because he ate meat. Oh most definitely. I get it, and I really debated whether it was worth posting and opening the whole can of worms. From an American POV, I figured the can was already cracked and it was worth airing it out all the way rather than let it sit. It’s a sore spot. Gotta say I think the wider point about how things we take for granted today may be viewed in the future is a good one, and can be applied across our social/economic relations. I for one hope to be considered a barbarian by our ancestors.
