For me, personally I know it was technically illegal, and a health hand safety bod would have had a fit at the technique used, but basically it was a minor (ish) infringement of the law which absolutely is overridden by the clear benefit brought about by doing it. Is it just slave traders we get a free pass on ? who gets to decide which statues the law gets overridden on v benefit to society , slave traders today , someone else tomorrow , I’m sure VT would decide vandalising and toppling a Thatcher statue was justified , for example ... And once we’ve finished with statues , where next in the minor(ish) infringement free for all ? by all means protest if you fell strongly but if you vandalise or destroy property then the law comes into play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of businesses today benefit from modern slavery. Many major firms will use cheap labour overseas where the working conditions are questionable at best and criminal at worst.

sne Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 It's not always the good guys (let's say it's us) who decides what should be removed, changed and altered. And even the well meaning get astray or take it too far, far too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
